Introduction

  • minitage is a meta-package manager. It's a package manager which install packages with the help of other build systems.
  • Its goal is to help you to deploy projects in a standardised layout and to build things quickly and in a simple manner by putting in environment all configurations.
  • The main documentation is not there but on http://www.minitage.org, please go there for further instructions.

QuickStart with minitage

The whole doc is not there

but on http://www.minitage.org

Check your Python

You need a python with setuptools, zlib, bz2 and ssl support.

Try that in your interpretery:

>>> import tarfile
>>> import zipfile
>>> import bz2
>>> import _ssl
>>> import zlib
>>> import setuptools
>>>

If you do not have that, you can give a try to my pyboostrapper that bootstrap a python somewhere:

wget http://git.minitage.org/git/minitage/shell/plain/PyBootstrapper.sh
chmod +x PyBootstrapper.sh
bash ./PyBootstrapper.sh /path/to/pythonPrefix

Using virtualenv

You 'd better to use virtualenv , minitage fits well with it.

virtualenv is a tool that allow you to create isolated Python environments.

Here is how to set up an environment with it:

  • Install virtualenv:

    easy_install virtualenv #(maybe use sudo ;))

  • Install minitage prefix:

    virtualenv --no-site-packages  ~/minitage

  • activate it:

    source ~/minitage/bin/activate

KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU MUST ACTIVATE VIRTUALENV AT ANY TIME YOU USE IT.

minitage installation

The whole doc is not there but on http://www.minitage.org/installation.html.

Minitage is a classical python egg, you can get it throught easy_install.

To install minitage in a stable version, follow those steps:

  • Install minitage:

    easy_install -U mercurial minitage.core

  • Sync its packages (all its minilays in minitage terminology).:

    minimerge -s

Syncing packages

To sync all your minilays

If you need to, fire your virtualenv:

source ~/minitage/bin/activate

Sync:

minimerge -s
