Buildout.cfg windows

Then, we specify the initial admin user and password used only when creating the initial database, and the port that Zope will be bound to.

We also turn on debug mode and verbose security. They are useful for development, but remember to turn them off in production sites since they can compromise the security of your site.

These options are used to generate an appropriate zope. See the recipe page in the Cheese Shop for more details on the options available. Next, we specify which eggs that will be made available to Zope. This references the "global" eggs from the [buildout] section, as well as Plone itself. Zope 3 configure. This assumes that my. This would load both the main configure. Over time, the need for these entries should diminish, as z3c. This final section creates a Python interpreter that has all the eggs and packages but not Zope 2 style products that Zope would have during startup.

This can be useful for testing purposes. Here, we copy the eggs from the [instance] section, and include in the pythonpath the Zope instance home. Previous Next. Table Of Content. Understanding buildout. List any number of URLs for product tarballs under URLs separate with whitespace, or break over several lines, with subsequent lines indented. If any archives contain several products inside a top-level directory, list the archive file name i. If any archives extract to a product directory with a version suffix, list the archive name under 'version-suffix-packages'.

When a part is reinstalled, it is uninstalled and then installed. The install method installs the part. It is used when a part is added to a buildout, or when a part is reinstalled. The install recipe must return a sequence of paths that that should be removed when the part is uninstalled.

Most recipes just create files or directories and removing these is sufficient for uninstalling the part. It can return None or a sequence of paths.

If paths are returned, they are added to the set of installed paths. Most recipes simply create files or directories and the built-in buildout uninstall support is sufficient. If a recipe does more than simply create files, then an uninstall recipe will likely be needed.

Uninstall recipes are callables that are passed the part name and the original options. Any option you can set in the configuration file, you can set on the command-line. Option settings specified on the command line override settings read from configuration files. There are a few command-line options, like -c to specify a configuration file, or -U to disable reading user defaults.

By default, buildout always tries to find the newest distributions that match requirements. Looking for new distributions can be very time consuming. Many people will want to specify the -N option to disable this. Unless the -U command-line option is used, user default settings are read before reading regular configuration files. The user defaults are read from the default. The extends option allows one configuration file to extend another.

In my buildout, I also create one for Python 2. These buildout scripts allow me to quickly bootstrap buildouts or to run setup files for a given version of python.

For example, to bootstrap a buildout with Python 2. This can also be used to convert a directory to a buildout, creating a buildout. In this case, we define a Zope 3 instance, and a test script. You can largely ignore the details of the Zope 3 instance recipe. If you are a Zope user, you should be aware that much better recipes have been developped.

This project uses multiple source directories, the current directory and the zc. Recently, I had to manually remove eggs from my shared eggs directory. I had installed an operating system upgrade that caused the names of open-ssl library files to change. Eggs build against the old libraries no-longer functioned. Our philosophy is to separate software and configuration. We install software using RPMs.

Later, we configure the use of the software using a centralized configuration database. This is interesting, in part, because it illustrates some interesting issues. System packagers tend to be too creative for us. Normally, RPM installs files in their run-time locations at build time. This is undesirable in a number of ways. I used the rpm build-root mechanism to allow files to be build in a temporary tree. Because the build location is different than the final install location, paths written by the buildout, such as egg paths in scripts are wrong.

There are a couple of ways to deal with this:. It would also add complexity to all recipes that deal with paths. Adjusting the paths at install time simply requires rerunning some of the recipes to generate the paths. We specify the files to be installed. This is just the buildout directory and a configuration script. We want to be able to check certain configuration into svn that can be checked out and reproduced.

A fairly significant issue is the availability of PyPI. PyPI is sometimes not available for minutes or hours at a time. This can cause buildout to become unusable. Buildout Documentation. Developing Buildout Recipes. Navigation index next previous Buildout 1. Not much control. Not implemented for Unix environment. An example setup.
