New subject: [Yt-dev] Request for Review: bootstrap script; also, new 'pasteboards'

23 Mar 2011


      Hi Matt,
I took a look at the docs you coded up, and indeed there are some  
interesting features with BB. In particular, I thought the `bbforks`  
command sounded pretty cool - however, it appears I am missing the  
lxml.html package, which is needed to get this to work:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[cmalone@xrb yt]$ hg bbforks
using 'ChrisMalone/yt-hg' as repo name
getting descendants list
abort: lxml.html is (currently) needed to run bbforks
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought maybe it was perhaps a result of my BB repo not having any forks,  
so I tried yours:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[cmalone@xrb yt]$ hg bbforks -n MatthewTurk/yt
getting descendants list
abort: lxml.html is (currently) needed to run bbforks
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this missing in the install, or is it something on my end?

Hi John, and everyone else,

Thanks! Plane flights are great for documentation (writing docs

doesn't have to hit the disk or grind the processor) so I started

writing up what it does:

http://hg.enzotools.org/yt-doc/changeset/e8f532648a50
...
I also went ahead, with the couple votes, and pushed it to the main  
repository.

Thanks everybody,

Hi Matt,

I'ma little late to the game since other less interesting things took
priority. I tested out the bootstrap script, and everything went  
smoothly! I voted "0" before because I didn't really see the bigger  
picture of what you were talking about, but now I'm convinced.

Hi Chris,

Ah, yes, you're totally right. I'll add an inventory-regeneration
...
...
...
command, which looks at the current manifest of the repo and then
...
...
...
regenerates inventory.json to match it. (This allows you to, for
...
...
...
instance, remove pastes from the current display, add supplemental
...
...
...
images, etc etc.) Pushing, like you say, also fixes the display on
...
...
...
the website.

I should chime in and say that my pasteboard page was not setup after
the

bootstrapp'ing - the page just 404'ed. To fix this I just did a test
commit

to the pasteboard

...
...
...
...
...
...
yt pasteboard --desc="This is just a test" test.py

and it worked fine. So, it _is_ set up with BB, as far as I can tell,
but

the page just shows up as 404 until something is checked in, or

I had a similar experience to Chris's. I gave the script my bitbucket
...
...
...
...

username, but on the first try it wanted to use my system username,
which is
...
...
...
...
...
also not the same. Just like for Chris, it got it right the second
time.

...
...

As one of original nay-sayers on this, I have to say I liked
everything
...
...
...
...
...
about how this worked. I especially think the pasteboard is really
great.
...
...
...
...
...
The one thing that wasn't very clear to me was that I had to do
an 'hg push'
...
...
...
...
...
from within my pasteboard repo to get the page set up on bitbucket.
Could a
...
...
...
...

note of this be made in the script after this step is done?

Since I'm wrong so often, it's quite easy for me to admit that I was
wrong

about this one.

Nice job, Matt.

Hi Matt,
...
...

...
...
...
...
...

I pulled from your repo and ran the
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
yt bootstrap_dev
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
method. Everything was going fine - it checked out yt-supplemental,
...
...
...
...
...
looked at my .hgrc and added my BB username, etc - until it wanted
to set up
...
...
...
...
...
my pasteboard. It seems like when it made the hgbb._bb_apicall, it
used my
...
...
...
...
...
system user name, which is different from my BB username:
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

...
...
...
...
...
I am now going to create the repository:
...
...
...
...
...
chrismalone.bitbucket.org
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

...
on BitBucket.org. This will set up the domain
...
...
...
...
...
http://chrismalone.bitbucket.org
...
...
...
...
...
which will point to the current contents of the repo.
...

my correct BB username:

and then it worked fine. I can now use the pasteboard facilities,
which
...
...
...
...
...
are pretty cool!
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I think for the bootstrap utility to be a bit more user-friendly, you
...
...
...
...
...
might want to add a bit more description about why the user cares
about the
...
...
...
...
...
various components that are about to be installed For example, the
user
...
...
...
...
...
probably doesn't know that the yt-supplemental repo is where all the
hgbb or
...
...
...
...
...
pasteboard stuff is contained or why they should want a BB account
if they
...
...
...
...
...
don't have one already. This might be too much information to have
in the
...
...
...
...
...
bootstrap script itself, so perhaps provide a link to a page where
these
...
...
...
...
...
things are mentioned.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Anyhow, aside from the above (minor) points, I really like the
bootstrap
...
...
...
...
...
utility. You've gone out of your way to make sure nothing was done
without
...
...
...
...
...
the user's permission.

Hi all,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Last week we had a conversation about a bootstrap script, where the
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
feel of the room was either lukewarm or positive. Mostly people
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
seemed to think it was ill-motivated or would take too many
liberties.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Over the last week, in the evenings etc I've created a bootstrap
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
script for development, which overall I think is pretty
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
well-motivated. The script accomplishes the following things, each of
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
which requests for confirmation before going on. It uses a modified
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
iniparse library so that any modifications to any ini files are made
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
in a non-destructive manner. It accomplishes these tasks:
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

Ensure username is set up in ~/.hgrc

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

Ensure that the cedit and hgbb are enabled

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

Asks for and if needed creates a username on BitBucket

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

Sets up hgbb

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

Creates a pasteboard repository

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

You can pull from my repo:

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

There are a couple things in this:
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

I wrote up something called a "pasteboard" this last week for more

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
permanent mini-pastes of info. This uses mercurial to create/destroy
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
items in it. You can see some examples here:
...
...
...
...
...

...
...
...
...
...

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
This was born out of the SFLC thing that happened on the mailing
list,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
when Sam emailed his script. I thought, wouldn't it be nice if we
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
were older, and we had a pasteboard that was persistent, with
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
descriptions, which we could programmatically upload/download from.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
This adds the new commands:
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
yt pasteboard --desc="Something" some_file.py
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
yt pastegrab PASTE_ID USERNAME
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
This automatically tosses it up. You get embed codes and some
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
highlights, but it's just easier to keep these things around than the
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
pastebin.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

The idea of enabling hgbb, cedit and ensuring a bitbucket user is

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
because I am of the opinion we should make it easier to fork the
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
repository to make changes. If those three are enabled, I believe a
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
command-line forking, editing of sources and so on, are all within
our
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
reach.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

This bootstrap script requires that the yt-supplemental repo be

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
checked out in ${YT_DEST}/src/ . This repo is actually kind of cool,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
in that it is a subrepo setup, and it pulls in a couple external
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
libraries that we can maintain. Right now it grabs the docs, the
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
cookbook, and the extensions mentioned above. This repo is now pulled
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
in the current install_script.sh.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Anyway, I am submitting this to the list to get some review. There
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
may be errors, but I have tested it quite a bit. It also informs the
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
user of what it's about to do and requires the user hit enter. At one
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
point it even asks for a yes or no.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
The reason I am interested in this is that I think the idea of
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
bootstrapping people into a development environment is, generally, a
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
good idea. Particularly because some things -- like the pasteboard,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
like forking, like contributing changes -- should be made really easy
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
and have the potential for a very high payoff. I hope I've motivated
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
things a bit better.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I was hoping that before I merged it I could get someone else to read
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
it over, maybe a couple people even to test it, and to get a good
feel
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
for whether this is worthwhile or whether I should pull these changes
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
and just ignore the idea. What do people think?
...
...
...
