Commit c1598ef6 authored by Jim Fulton's avatar Jim Fulton

Improved intro text and description of setup.

Added documentation of buildout:directory option.

Added support for extending configurations through multiple
configuration files.

Added command-line options to:

- Specify a configuration file

- Override configuration options

Renamed several options to use -s rather than _s.

==================
This document describes how to define buildouts using buildout
configuation files and recipes. It doesn't describe how to bootstrap
a buildout. To find out how to do that, see bootstrap.txt. For the
examples we show here, we've created a sample buildout that already
contains the mimimal software needed for a buildout.
configuation files and recipes. There are two ways to set up the
buildout software and create a buildout:
Buildouts are defined using configuration files. These are in the
format defined by the Python ConfigParser module, with an extension
that we'll describe later. When a buildout is run, it looks for
the file buildout.cfg in the directory where the buidout is run. It
will optionally look for buildout-instance.cfg. Typically, buidout.cfg
contains information common to all instances of a buildout and is
checked in, and buildout-instance.cfg has instance-specific information.
1. Install the zc.buildout egg with easy_install and use the buildout
script installed in a Python scripts area.
2. Use the buildout bootstrap script to install both the setuptools
and zc.buildout eggs into your buildout. This allows you to use
the buildout software without modifying a Python install.
The buildout script is installed into your buildout local scripts
area.
We have a sample buildout that has already been created for us. It
has the absolute minimum information. We have bin, eggs and parts
directories, and a configuration file:

The build script is what we run to build things out. The
py_zc.buildout script gives us a Python prompt with the Python path

when the zc.buildout and setuptools are installed externally to the

Multiple configuration files
----------------------------
You can use multiple configuration files. From your main
configuration file, you can include other configuration files in 2
ways:
- Your configuration file can "extend" another configuration file.
Option are read from the other configuration file if they aren't
already defined by your configuration file.
- Your configuration file can be "extended-by" another configuration
file, In this case, the options in the other configuration file
override options in your configuration file.
The configuration files your file extends or is extended by can extend
or be extended by other configuration files. The same file may be
used more than once although, of course, cycles aren't allowed.
To see how this works, we use an example:
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... extends = base.cfg
...
... [debug]
... op = buldout
... """)
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'base.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... develop = recipes
... parts = debug
...
... [debug]
... recipe = recipes:debug
... op = base
... """)
>>> print system(os.path.join(sample_buildout, 'bin', 'buildout')),
op buldout
recipe recipes:debug
The example is pretty trivial, but the pattern it illustrates is
pretty common. In a more practical example, the base buildout might
represent a product and the extending buildout might be a
customization.
Here is a more eleborate example.
>>> import tempfile
>>> extensions = tempfile.mkdtemp()
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... extends = b1.cfg b2.cfg
... extended-by = e1.cfg %(e2)s

op buildout
op1 e1 1
op2 b1 2
op3 b2 3
op4 b2 4
op5 eb 5
op6 ee 6
recipe recipes:debug
There are several things to note about this example:
- We can name multiple files in an extends or extended-by option.
- We can reference files recursively.
- DEFAULT sections only directly affect the configuration file they're
used in, but they can have secondary effects. For example, the name
option showed up in the debug section because it was defined in the
debug sections in several of the input files by virtue of being in
their DEFAULT sections.
- Relative file names are determined relative to the directory
containing the referencing configuration file. The files eb.cfg and
ee.cfg were found in the extensions directory because they were
referenced from a file in that directory.
User defaults
-------------
If the file $HOME/.buildout/defaults.cfg, exists, it is read before
reading the configuration file. ($HOME is the value of the HOME
enviornment variable. The '/' is replaced by the operating system file
delimiter.)
>>> home = tempfile.mkdtemp()
>>> mkdir(home, '.buildout')
>>> write(home, '.buildout', 'default.cfg',

op4 b2 4
op5 eb 5
op6 ee 6
op7 7
recipe recipes:debug
Command-line usage
------------------
A number of arguments can be given on the buildout command line. The
command usage is::
buildout [-c file] [options] [command [command arguments]]
The -c option can be used to specify a configuration file, rather than
buildout.cfg in the current durectory. Options are of the form::
section_name:option_name=value
for example, as in:
>>> print system(os.path.join(sample_buildout, 'bin', 'buildout')
... + ' debug:op1=foo'),
name ee
op buildout
op1 foo
op2 b1 2
op3 b2 3
op4 b2 4
op5 eb 5
op6 ee 6
op7 7
recipe recipes:debug
Currently, the default and only command is 'install' and it takes a
list of parts to install. if any parts are specified, then only those
parts are installed. To illustrate this, we'll update our
configuration and run the buildout in the usual way:
