I have decided to start a blog:
- I have been reading a lot of Plone blogs lately and they have inspired me to write my own.
- I want to interact with other Plone developers and users.
- I want to try new technology.
Build Tools
This post is about my build tools, a Python script that starts a Zope instance with Plone and add-on products installed. Running:
newzope test-site ProductA ProductB ProductC
would produce a working instance a few seconds later with products A, B and C installed.
Conclusion
I used Buildout for the first time at the Baarn UI Sprint 2007 and I've also used Chris McDonough's Buildit. There are probably even more options to choose from, but at the time these were the current and likely better alternatives:
- Buildout
- Buildit
- Instance Manager
