Introduction

This page describes how to setup a local index to serve up packages that are needed for a Bungeni installation.

1. Installing repoze.bfg

It is advisable to install repoze.bfg into a virtualenv

  • UNIX

    • Ensure that setuptools is installed - download ez_setup.py; invoke it using the Python interpreter you want to install setuptools into:

      $ sudo python ez_setup.py
    • Install the virtualenv package - use the easy_install command:

      $ easy_install virtualenv
    • Create the virtual python environment

      $ virtualenv --no-site-packages pkgindex
    • Install repoze.bfg Into the virtual python environment

      $ bin/easy_install -i http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple repoze.bfg

Note:Your folder structure should now look like this:

~/pkgindex/bin
~/pkgindex/include
~/pkgindex/lib

Setting up repoze.pkgindex

Install this package in the root of the virtualenv:

$ svn co https://bungeni-portal.googlecode.com/svn/repoze.pkgindex/trunk/  --username <username>

Note:Your folder structure should now have one more folder and 6 extra files as follows:

~/pkgindex/repoze
~/pkgindex/demo.ini
~/pkgindex/deployment.ini
~/pkgindex/ez_setup.py
~/pkgindex/README.txt
~/pkgindex/setup.cfg
~/pkgindex/setup.py

Create the index folder in the root of the virtualenv folder. Name it 'index' - Add any packages and sub-folders necessary for your installation into this folder.

Using the interpreter from the virtualenv created when installing repoze.bfg, invoke the following command when inside the project directory against the setup.py:

$ ../bin/python setup.py develop

Run the package from the virtualenv root folder:

$ ./bin/paster serve deployment.ini

You can now access your package index at localhost:6543 or 127.0.0.1:6543

Note: You can modify the deployment.ini file to look for the index in a different folder other than the one named 'index' and to run on a different port other than the default '6543'.
