What is gp.vcsdevelop ?

This package allow you to checkout some package and use them as developed eggs with zc.buildout.

Available options

• develop-dir: a directory to checkout packages in

• vcs-extend-develop: A list of vcs url. See pip's editable parameter. Available schemes are ssh, svn, git, hg, bzr, sftp.

• vcs-update:

  If true on every run buildout try updating egg. As example for hg+https run hg pull -u

  If always then remove existing code from filesystem and get a fresh checkout

Usage

Use this package as a zc.buildout extension and provide some vcs urls in the vcs-extend-develop option:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... vcs-extend-develop=hg+https://gawel@bitbucket.org/ianb/pip/@tip#egg=pip
... parts=
... ''')

Then if you run buildout, the package will be checkout from the repository:

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout)
Start...
Cloning hg https://gawel@bitbucket.org/ianb/pip/ (to revision tip) to ./pip
Found command 'hg' at '...'
Develop: '/...buildout/pip'
...

Packages can be found in the develop-dir (default to .). You can override this:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... develop-dir=./src
... vcs-extend-develop=hg+https://gawel@bitbucket.org/ianb/pip/@tip#egg=pip
... parts=
... ''')

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout)
Start...
Cloning hg https://gawel@bitbucket.org/ianb/pip/ (to revision tip) to ./src/pip
Found command 'hg' at '...'
Develop: '/...buildout/./src/pip'
...

You can also checkout non-python packages but you'll get a warning:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... develop-dir=./src
... vcs-extend-develop=git+git://github.com/benoitc/couchbeam.git#egg=couchbeam
... parts=
... ''')

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout).strip()
Start...
Cloning git://github.com/benoitc/couchbeam.git to ./src/couchbeam
Found command 'git' at '...'
Warning: ./src/couchbeam is not a python package
