I'm using zc.buildout for deploying a handful of applications, and one of our dependencies doesn't have eggs or "correctly" formatted pages (that would allow easy_install to track down the repository for direct building from source). Does zc.buildout provide any way to build an egg from a Subversion URL? Something with similar behavior to:
easy_install -m -d ./eggs http://path/to/svn/repos
I'm happy to write a recipe if necessary, just thought I'd make sure someone else hadn't already scratched this itch.
If it's a dependency declared in your setup.py, you can do something like this: dependency_links=['http://path/to/svn/repos#egg=Foo-dev'], install_requires=['Foo>=1.2,==dev'], in your setup() call, to depend on version 1.2 or greater of Foo; the ==dev and the #egg=Foo-dev will allow it to be found via SVN. See also these two manual sections that document the use of ==dev and #egg=: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#managing-continuous-relea... http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#making-your-package-avail...
