The existent setup.cfg files are non-operative

• change "rsync" to "scp"
• On Windows: install Windows OpenSSH client package

buildutils dependencies

example setup.cfg entry

[publish]
doc-dir=doc/html
doc-dest=scp://lazaridis_com@orbtech.com/var/www/orbtech/orbtech.com/html/
make-dirs=0

This process should be further automated in cooperation with other projects that use buildutils and the buildutil-project itself.

Closing.

Although the algorythm is poor, it should work.

Trying this on the louie project, I got this error:

Possible solution is to install rsync on windows:

From Matthew R. Scott within email (a few weeks ago):

Here's the brief overview of what I do:

1. Make sure you have both "pudge" and "buildutils" installed from
their svn trunk.

2. Run "pbu pudge" inside the Schevo trunk checkout to build docs.
At this point you can see the results by browsing to the
doc/html/index.html file that was built.

(alternatively: python setup.py pudge)

3. Run "python setup.py sdist bdist_egg" to build a snapshot egg and
source distribution.

4. Run "rsync -zav doc/html/.
orbtech.com:var/www/orbtech/schevo.org/html." to copy documentation
to server.

5. Run "rsync -zav dist/.
orbtech.com:var/www/orbtech/schevo.org/html/dist/snapshots." to copy
distributions to server.

Of note is that you should not use "pbu publish" despite there being
entries for it in Schevo's setup.cfg -- the algorithm used to publish
is fairly poor at the moment and it's easier to just use rsync or a
similar method that does everything in one shot.

The auto-generation functionality was already discussed, but it is not relevant within this defect report (the defect must be solved, independent of automated server-side generations).

The current implementation has a defect, thus I've asked for this information:

"Please isolate and report initially the cause of this (setuptools, buidutils, ...)."

As to my knowledge, mscott is the implementor and should be able to answer this question.

Based on this information, anyone intrested can solve the defect.

A better automation would be to focus on the auto-generation of documentation on the server side upon commit. This is something we did before and it worked quite well. Once the cogs are in place.

When I have worked out a script to do this for other projects I have started, I will gladly help quickly incorporate it into Schevo. If someone else tackles this first, fine by me :)
