I've done quite a bit of the basic restructure. I still have a number |
| 7 |
of files I can shorten the names for, now that they are in aptly named |
| 8 |
directories. There is a lot of "from foo import *" imports to clean up |
| 9 |
and specify the actual imports needed. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I have tested the code so far by making a snapshot run: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
catalyst -c ./test.conf -s -f testsnap.spec |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The code can be run directly from the git checkout with only a few |
| 16 |
things needed to set it up |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I personally create a "testpath" file (attached) in the base git |
| 19 |
directory which I source with: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
source ./testpath |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
just edit it to suit your paths. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I also created a test.conf file which I edited 2 variables to suit: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
envscript="/home/brian/Dev/git/catalist/etc/catalystrc" |
| 28 |
sharedir="/home/brian/Dev/git/catalyst/targets.sh" |
| 29 |

I welcome more testing, beware you are likely to get some tracebacks |
| 32 |
which I would like you to send me so I can fix them. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I will do more testing as I get more of the restructure finished, then |
| 35 |
begin more thorough testing/debugging. |
