A little but wonderfull tool in the python world is paster.

It permits you to generate with some code logics a full set of files.

You can for example create a buildout, apache configurations files and etc.

The documentation for profils are in the official minitage documentation : http://www.minitage.org/doc/rst/

What is interesting there is that i use it into minitage to generate stuff inside.

There are 2 main sort of templates:

For people who thinks that setup an Apache is easy (and of course, with some experience behind me, I agree), I say, beware of some details.

Testing the 'serve-branches' script, as mwh asked me on the previous bug report, i have now something pretty cool :)

So, something nice is that i have dropped away the ugly patch.

What's next?

Michael Hudson, the main developper, told me that the idea is to drop away the loggerhead.conf and to use serve-branches as the main thing to use.

Althought i was playing in the wonderfull world of mercurial, i 'm trying out bazaar and its tools.

The goal of the week end was to set up some repositories and a source browser on top of them.

In bazaar world, there is not much choice to achieve that. In other terms, you re really encouraged to use loggerhead.

So, i began to set up a repository, file access and so on... Then look at the loggerhead documentation. Great, there is some sort of auto publishing feature.
