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 [1] : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.egg#relative-egg-paths
Hi Jonathan
Betreff: [Zope-dev] Relative path support for z3c.recipe.paster?
Hi,

Thoughts?
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 ;-) Regards Roger Ineichen
Cheers,
Jonathan

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

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? Wichert.
