Over the last few weeks I've been updating build files in various plugins. The following things were changed:
1. Set buildout option newest=false Nowadays pypi.python.org works quite slowly, ftp.schooltool.org even more so. We use some 135 eggs, checking their versions when running buildout takes a lot of time. This change should reduce build time considerably, and make the sandbox more stable. `make update` runs in newest mode (bin/buildout -n) to update eggs to versions specified in versions.cfg . Use it when buildout fails. For example, you get an error while running buildout:: While: Installing. Getting section package. Initializing section package. Installing recipe zc.recipe.egg. Error: There is a version conflict. We already have: distribute 0.6.30 make: *** [.installed.cfg] Error 1 Run:: $ make update This will upgrade distribute and zc.buildout 2. Local buildout.cfg buildout.cfg now is a copy of deploy.cfg and not version-controlled. So your edits, like develop = ../schooltool, or selenium configuration, will not make the checkout 'dirty'. 3. `make develop` and develop.cfg Additional parts, only sometimes needed for developers, were moved to develop.cfg, e.g. coverage. To enable those, set extends = develop.cfg in your buildout.cfg and rerun buildout. There is a make target to do just that:: $ make develop 4. Updated bootstrap.py to latest from http://downloads.buildout.org/1/bootstrap.py zc.buildout 2.0 was released. We don't want to switch to it, yet, but the bootstrap.py that we had, would sometimes get buildout 2 and fail. Merge the lp:~menesis/schooltool/scripts branch or trunk of other plugins to get it. You can also set the needed version to make the build work:: $ ./python/bin/python bootstrap.py --version=1.7.1 $ make Hope this will help you solve recent build failures and stop some complaints about buildout. -- Gediminas _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~schooltool-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~schooltool-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
