A little shell script to dump you GenericSetup profile somewhere and notify you for changes
Project description
GS Export
GS Export is a little helper that dumps your GenericSetup profile to a given directory, and sends you a mail, if anything has changed since it was last run.
GS Export uses git to store the change history, it simply sends the result of a git status -q if there are any changes. It is your responsabilility to commit the changes, else you will get the same notification on the next run.
GS Export always sends a passwort with each request, it is POST encoded but it is still there. This also means, it needs basic auth working on your plone site. You might want to run GS Export only on the same machine as the zope client.
GS Export needs to be configured, and it needs a lot of options. Since GS Export might be needed for many sites on one host, it does not look for a configuration file with a fixed name, but you must provide a configuration file as the first argument to the script. This is a sample configuration. All arguments are required:
[gs_export] base_url = http://yoursite:8080/Plone/portal_setup user = youruser password = yourpass path = /absolute_path_to_dump_diretory_of_git mail_server = your.mailserver mail_port = 587 mail_user = your_mail_user mail_password= your_mail_pass mail_from = your_email_adress mail_mode = TLS mail_recipient=your_receiving_email_adress ignore = structure workflow
base_url must point to portal_setup
the path must exist
mail_mode accepts an empty string, TLS and SSL
This tool only accepts one mail recipient. This could easily by changed though
ignore accepts multiple parameters. Ignore means, after dumping the configuration, the ignore parts are deleted! It is a good idea to ignore structure. Multiple values can be added by adding one for each line and indenting the elements
GS Export is intended to be run by a cron job.
Todo
Allow for multiple recipients.
