Trouble adding getpaid to buildout.

[adrigen]

I am trying to add the getpaid product to plone.

This is what I added to buildout.cfg:
[productdistros]
recipe = plone.recipe.distros
urls =
    http://getpaid.googlecode.com/files/PloneGetPaid-bundle-RC1.tar.gz
nested-packages =
version-suffix-packages =

When I build the site with that, the contents of that file end up in the project/productdistros folder.

I also tried adding:
nested-packages = PloneGetPaid-bundle-RC1.tar.gz

Because I thought that might indicate that there are sub folders which need to be tended to.
With either configuration, PloneGetPaid does not show up as a product in plone.

Can anyone tell me how to write my configure my buildout.cfg to work?


The full .cfg is here.

when I try checking out the svn, after a little success it ends with:

Fetching external item into 'getpaid.buildout/src/gchecky'
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/trunk': could not connect to server (http://gchecky.googlecode.com)

That may have been a temporary problem as this currently works for me:

  svn ls http://gchecky.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

That is strange as this does work for me.  (Or at least updating a
current checkout of that buildout works.)  You do have write access to
https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn ?  If not, you should use the
anonymous buildout.  But the url for gchecky is http, not https, so
that should not actually matter.

When you try the following, does that give you the same error?

   svn ls http://gchecky.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

Some months ago I did have problems updating the buildout.  I think
googlecode.com had some connection problems then (or I had) and
updating the buildout would only partially finish.  That *might* be
happening for you now as well.

Ask on the getpaid developer's list or on the #getpaid irc channel if
other persons are having problems as well.

wierd... downloading just gchecky using http worked fine.

for the moment I'm getting around it by using:
svn co --ignore-externals https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/getpaid-anonymous-buildout

[adrigen]

after successfully downloading the getpaid.buildout, I run it and get this:

u-it@u-it-desktop:~/getpaid-anonymous-buildout$ bin/buildout -c 30.cfg
Develop: '/home/u-it/getpaid-anonymous-buildout/src/zc.table'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/tmpsEnzz7", line 11, in ?
    execfile('/home/u-it/getpaid-anonymous-buildout/src/zc.table')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/u-it/getpaid-anonymous-buildout/src/zc.table'
While:
  Installing.
  Processing develop directory '/home/u-it/getpaid-anonymous-buildout/src/zc.table'.

An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:

AssertionError:



Any ideas?

[adrigen]

Ok, so I figure that the reason it cant find zc.table, is because it comes after gchecky in the EXTERNALS.txt list.

After some more #getpaid advice, I have downloaded getpaid without the externals by running:

svn co --ignore-externals https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/getpaid.buildout

Then I go to getpaid.buildout/src/EXTERNALS.txt and remove the line which refers to gchecky.

then I run:

svn up

And then it still gives me the same error when it gets to gchecky.
Why doesn't it reference my EXTERNALS.txt file?

The EXTERNALS.txt file does not get used by subversion.  This file is
just a signal for humans that there is an 'svn:externals' property on
the current directory.  When you do:

  svn propget svn:externals

you will get a list that still has gchecky in it.  You can update this
property with the current contents of the EXTERNALS.txt file by
running the command mentioned at the top of that file:

  svn propset svn:externals -F ./EXTERNALS.txt .

[Note the space and dot at the end of the line.]
