Relative path support for z3c.recipe.paster?

Hi,

Since zc.recipe.egg 1.2.0, there's an option to generate scripts which
contains relative paths to eggs installed in the eggs/ directory [1]
This is very handy if you want to move your buildout around, without
needing to relaunch the whole buildout process.

What do maintainers of z3c.recipe.paster think if I propose a patch
which add this option (or something else) to support the same thing
for this recipe?
Actually, this can be a relatively minor change, since the recipe
already use zc.recipe.egg, which means it only has to pass the
corresponding option to this one.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Jonathan

In general any improvment is welcome as long as there is no bad
sideffect. I do not know this option and do not understand what
you mean with moving buildout around.

I guess this is nothing which is needed in a productive setup.

Anyway, if there is no sideffect like larger processing time
in prodction use just for provide a fancy feature, you are very
welcome to improve and implement usefull things ;-)

By "moving buildout around", I mean: I generate a buildout in a
directory, let's say /home/foo/prod/1.0 on the host FOO, and I would
like to be able to copy the result of the buildout on the host BAR, in
the directory /var/run/bar/ and be able to just run ./bin/paster and
voilà!
That's why I would like to have relative paths.

Ok, I don't think the modification will have such side effects, so I
will propose a patch for this then :)

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,

bin/buildout -N does not fit you?

Hi Adam,

In fact, we have very strong constraints where our buildout's results
are ran : most of our customers deploy this package on host which
don't have freely access to outside. Running "bin/buildout -N" is out
of the question since this will certainly fail. Maybe "bin/buildout
-o" could work for us.

Currently, we are testing if we can ship the result of a buildout
without re-running the buildout on the target host. If we could have
relative paths everywhere in the buildout, this would certainly make
the process less painful for us :)

Anyway, I started to look a bit at z3c.recipe.paster, and it seems a
little bit more complicated than I originally found, since it involved
copying some more code from zc.recipe.egg which need to be passed to
zc.buildout.easy_install.script() call... I'll keep you informed.

Best regards,

Jonathan

Isn't zc.sourcerelease is designed for exactly those types of situations?
