batou
batou is a multi-(component|host|environment|...) deployment utility.
Deployments are described in a model using "components" and can be deployed locally and remotely. Models are written as Python code.
See the batou documentation for details on how to use it.
Changelog
1.0b9 (2013-08-22)
- Update Package component so it ignores installed packages when installing. This way, we actually install setuptools even when distribute is installed. (Otherwise it's a no-op since distribute tells pip that setuptools is already satisfied).
- Fix update process: wrong call to old '.batou/bin/batou' failed and early bootstrapping would downgrade temporarily which is confusing and superfluous. Fixes #12739.
1.0b8 (2013-08-17)
- Remove superfluous mkdir call during remote bootstrap.
- Make batou init print that it's working. Bootstrapping can take a while, so at least signal that something's going on.
1.0b7 (2013-08-17)
- Depend on Python2.7 to be available on the PATH during early bootstrap. Otherwise our chances to get a 2.7 virtualenv are pretty small, too.
- Improve project template: ignore the work/ directory by default.
1.0b6 (2013-08-17)
- More MANIFEST inclusions: bootstrap-template.
1.0b5 (2013-08-17)
- Improve MANIFEST so we actually package the init template and other generated files, like version.txt and requirements.txt.
1.0b4 (2013-08-17)
- Provide a simple project-creation command, both for pip-installed batou's as well as spawning new projects from existing ones. Fixes #12730
- Fix #12679: make timeouts configurable.
- Removed re-imports from batou main module to support light-weight self-installation and bootstrapping. I.e. 'from batou import Component' no longer works.
- Provide a single main command together with a 'bootstrap' wrapper that you can check into your project and that is maintained during updates automatically. It also provides fully automatic bootstrapping, installation, upgrading and other maintenance.
- Fix Python package installation version check.
- Don't use bin/buildout bootstrap command anymore. PIP installs a sufficient bin/buildout so buildout can do the rest internally.
- Install zc.buildout during bootstrapping phase using PIP to avoid bootstrap.py problems.
- Shorten URLs in the Build component to their basename.
- Add 'assert_cmd' API to support simpler assertions for verify when needing to check the result of an external command.
- Switch to asking pip installing eggs instead of flat installations as namespaces seem to collide otherwise.
- Remove non-functional deprecated 'md5sum' attribute.
- Components are context managers now. If you provide __enter__ it will be called before verify() and if you provide __exit__ this will be called after update (always - even if update isn't actually called). This allows you to manage temporary state on the target system more gracefully. See the DMGExtractor for an example.
- Major refactoring of internal data structures to simplify and improve test
coverage. Some breakage to be expected:
- Components do not have a 'service' attribute any longer. If you need access to the service base directory use 'environment.base_dir'.
- Another attempt at getting convergency for package installation: actually leverage pkg_resources to check what version of a package is installed. PIP does not necessarily list or freeze setuptools, even if forced to reinstall.
- Remove superfluous '--update' from pip calls that would temporarily install the incorrect package version.
- Improve convenience of the 'secrets-edit' wrapper script to allow re-encrypting without re-entering the editor.
- Consistently switch to using setuptools.
- Fix #12399: incorrect stat attributes for Owner and Group
- Add exclude parameter to Directory component.
- Add env parameter to Component.cmd() (and corresponding build_environment parameter to the Build component) to allow adding/overriding environment variables.
1.0b3 (2013-07-09)
- Enable logging in the remote core to see what's going on on the remote side.
- Try to better format exceptions from the remote side.
- Try harder to get virtualenv back into a working state.
- Allow remote deployments from root of repository.
- Make PIP management more robust.
1.0b2 (2013-07-09)
- Add component to manage PIP within a virtual env.
- Add component to manage packages with PIP within a virtual env.
- Restructure buildout component to make it more robust regarding setuptools/distribute preparation. Also remove usage of bootstrap completely as we rely on virtualenv anyway.
1.0b1 (2013-07-09)
- Apply semantic versioning: initial development is over, so this is 1.0 now.
- Major revamp of secrets management:
- switch to GPG (instead of aespipe)
- turn secrets into a core feature, removing the need for a special component
- Add '--single' to suppress parallel bootstrapping.
0.2.9 (2013-07-06)
- Fix #12527: utils.cmd breaks on spacey arguments and embedded quotes.
- Avoid accidentally creating incorrect directories in developer VFS mapping.
- Switch testrunner to pytest. Refactor some tests to take advantage of its capabilities.
- Clean up PEP8 / pyflakes errors, integrate pytest plugin to ensure continued compliance.
- Clean up buildout versions specifications.
- Fix .dmg extractor to copy symlinks as symlinks.
- Fix remote sudo for Mac OS X target hosts.
0.2.8 (2013-06-18)
- Added archive extractor for .dmg files.
- Added flag for supervisor to control whether global or individual restarts wait until everything is running.
0.2.7 (2013-05-22)
- Fix template for Nagios check service dependencies.
- Update bootstrap call for batou-internal bootstrapping.
0.2.6 (2013-05-18)
- Add component that clones from a Mercurial repository.
- Write supervisord.pid into /run/local instead of ${workdir}/var to ensure correct startup after machine crashes.
- Add ignore_returncode parameter to Component.cmd() to suppress exceptions on unsuccessful command execution.
0.2.5 (2013-04-23)
- Fix interaction between supervisor programs and disabled supervisors: don't try to start those programs.
0.2.4 (2013-04-22)
- Force reread/update on supervisor after config changes.
0.2.3 (2013-04-22)
- supervisor: wait up to 60 seconds instead of 30 until supervisor responds to a PID after triggering shutdown. Fix bug trying to detect shutdown: RuntimeError would cause residual data in output variables.
- supervisor: after reloading, wait as long as the highest startup delay was configured on a program to avoid subsequent accidental restarts.
- supervisor: remove 'restart' flag: always restart if we have a relevant change.
- supervisor: fix bug in reload logic: path to supervisord.conf was wrong
0.2.2 (2013-04-19)
- Allow specifying 'configure_args' on cmmi.Build or 'args' on cmmi.Configure.
- Fix supervisor's path lookup for event listeners to support the automatically installed superlance plugins better. This may change again in the future depending on other event listener needs.
0.2.1 (2013-04-18)
- Fix supervisor refactoring: templates contained static paths from my development machine. Event listeners were not formatting the event list correctly.
- Let RunningSupervisor wait (infinitely) long when reloading if the supervisorctl command returns 'SHUTDOWN_STATE'. This supports large installations with many services more gracefully but might get stuck.
- Fix supervisor's Nagios check: I removed the bin/py custom interpreter and didn't notice it was used by the check. Put it back.
0.2 (2013-04-18)
- Lots of stuff that went on unreleased for way too long. Producing a release to allow people to stop running from trunk.
- Buildout component: Allow custom buildout.cfg names and pass the name to bootstrap.
- Improve SSH connection error logging: more readable now and hosts are identifiable. (#12093)
- Do not automatically add missing SSH host keys any longer. (#11606)
- Use python version specific virtualenv, if availble. This helps with ancient Python 2.4 components. For specific virtualenv versions no explicit python executable is passed.
- Internalize download hash handling using hashlib. Allow selection of hash function. (Thanks to Christine Koppelt.)
- Introduce new component modelling approach.
- Start writing documentation.
- Improve error message when download fails due to checksum mismatch.
