I'm concerned about the state of the zc.buildout template recipes. I want one. I want some one-off files, specific to a certain project, for which writing a standalone recipe feels very heavy.
Here are the template recipes I found:
collective.recipe.template (Wichert Akkerman)
FTR, this seems to be the de-facto choice in the Plone world, and it's quite well production-tested. I didn't even know about the others. :)
z3c.recipe.template (Uli Fouquet)
It's a bit disappointing that Uli created a new package rather than add the relatively minor feature missing from collective.recipe.template according to the PyPI page, although I agree the lack of tests is off-putting and should be fixed. Still, since the package was based on the other one, I don't see why we couldn't have added tests to collective.recipe.template rather than fork it. :-/
Since I don't find the prospect of creating yet another template recipe attractive, and Philipp's z3c.recipe.filetemplate looks like it can take my new features while maintaining backwards compatibility, I'll try that next, I suppose.
What features do you want to add? Why can't they (plus the tests) go into the original collective.recipe.template? Martin -- Author of `Professional Plone Development`, a book for developers who want to work with Plone. See http://martinaspeli.net/plone-book
