svetlyak40wt.recipe.symlinks 0.1.3

svetlyak40wt.recipe.symlinks
============================

Usage
-----

This is a simple buildout recipe to collect symbolic links.

For example, you have isolated buildout environment, but want
pull some files from a standart debian's distribution os pyexiv2.

In that case, you can collect all neccessary links in one directory
and add it as `extra-path`. Or use it to make symlink to django admin's
media directory.

Here is a minimal buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
parts = pyexiv2 python django-media

[pyexiv2]
recipe = svetlyak40wt.recipe.symlinks
path = parts/pyexiv2
files =
/usr/share/pyshared/pyexiv2.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libpyexiv2.so
/tmp my-temp

[django-media]
recipe = svetlyak40wt.recipe.symlinks
path = media
files =
${buildout:parts-directory}/django/django/contrib/admin/media admin

[python]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = python
eggs = ipython
extra-paths = ${pyexiv2:path}


ChangeLog
---------

### 0.1.3

Prevent zc.buildout from removing all directory content on uninstall. Now script removes
just those symlinks which was created during the previous call. Thanks to Shaun Sephton
for the patch.

### 0.1.2

Added ability to supply custom link name. So, if you specify files=`/blah/minor foo`
and `path=media`, then file `/blah/minor` will be linked as `media/foo`.

### 0.1.1

Fixed bug when first directories of the `path` don't exist.

### 0.1.0

Initial release. Seems that all work as supposed.
