buildout.bootstrap

Introduction

Formerly collective.recipe.bootstrap

buildout.bootstrap is a buildout extension that adds a buildout bootstrap.py file to your buildout.

It satisfies the use case of:

"I want to keep my buildout's bootstrap.py file up to date without having to manually download it"

It also makes it easy to add a bootstrap.py file to a buildout created via:

$ buildout init

If you still don't understand consider the following: with this extension you can avoid having to type:

$ curl -O https://raw.github.com/buildout/buildout/master/src/zc/buildout/buildout.py

You typically use this extension when you have created a new buildout and want to

• Check it in to version control
• Check it out somewhere else

See docs/INSTALL.txt for installation instructions.

Installation
