Hi Grok-Developers

I am not sure if i understand everything in detail but i created a
prototype buildout.

I looked a bit on the plone-coredev buildout which uses mr.developer for
the checkout´s of the various plone.packages.

As i said before i created a prototype which try´s to do the same for 
grok, grokcore and martian packages.

Maybe someone can look on the buildout and provide some
feedback. You can find the grokcore-dev buildout here [1].

Please see this is a first attempt ;).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is README of the buildout:

============
grokcore-dev
============

Please Note: For this first prototype i used not the trunk of 
grokcore.security because i get a version conflict
with the trunk of the other packgages.

This buildout generates a "out of the box" development
buildout for these grok packages:

- grok
- grokcore.component
- grokcore.view
- grokcore.viewlet
- grokcore.security
- grokcore.formlib
- grokui.admin
- martian

This means that you find in the src directory the fresh checkout´s
of the trunk from the above packages.


mr.developer
------------

The checkout´s are done with help of the buildout.recipe
mr.developer. For further information please look at the
pypi package of this package [1] or call the 'bin/develop help'
command which is created during buildout process, and should
show you some further information.

commands
--------

Starting the Grok instance with the wiki-application:

    ./bin/zopectl fg

You can use the debug prompt with:

    ./bin/zopectl debug

You can run the tests for a special package with:

    ./bin/test -s grokcore.formlib

If you want to run all tests you can run this command

    ./bin/zopepy alltests.py

And there are some commands for coverage-reports based
on z3c.coverage.

The ideas for this buildout is from the plone-coredev buildout [2].
So thanks for this...
