[triangle-zpug] Plone Jam this Thursday at Duke

[Ben Donnelly]

I've been using buildouts for our Plone3 roll out. First site is here,
still mostly closed to the public

http://comlmaps.org

Here's how I get Python setup for it.

We've got a linux yum repository at Duke, so I wrap my buildout in a
bash script that sets up a local version of python for Plone.
Basically I use wget to grab the python RPMs out of the repo, then
force them to /opt. But if you've got the RPMs available somewhere
else, this still works in principle:

INSTALLDIR= /opt/myplone

rpm -ivh --force \
--relocate  /usr/bin=$INSTALLDIR/Python/bin \
--relocate /usr/lib/=$INSTALLDIR/Python/lib \
--relocate /usr/share/=$INSTALLDIR/Python/share \


Then, with the Python binary installed, I grab easy_install and set up PIL:

PYBIN=/opt/myplone/Python/bin

wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
$PYBIN/python ez_setup.py

$PYBIN/easy_install --find-links http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ Imaging


Then I have do a bit of trickery to rename the PIL egg so the buildout
script can find it. Here's the whole script, still a work in progress:

http://code.env.duke.edu/svn/sysadmin/plone/buildout/v3/plone_installer.bash

which also refers to this buildout config- it's pretty much the
default buildout with LDAP support added in.

http://code.env.duke.edu/svn/sysadmin/plone/buildout/v3/Plone/buildout.mgel-dev


I hate it but I'm note sure I'll be able to come by the Plone Jam,
I've got some travel coming up.
