This page describes setting up a sandbox for running ccPublisher 2 and P6 from CVS.
Contents
Setting Up a ccPublisher Sandbox
A sandbox is a checkout of the ccPublisher sourcecode from Subversion. Setting up a sandbox lets you work with the most recent features, as well as work on the source code yourself. For background on how the sourcecode is organized see ccPublisher 2 Architecture.
As of 8 February 2006, a C compiler is no longer required to build ccPublisher 2 or P6.
Prerequisites
We try to maintain pure Python within our Subversion repository (either with a vendor tag or svn:external). However, there are a handful of dependencies which are better built on individual systems or installed from binaries.
- Python 2.4
- Windows: http://python.org/download/
- Mac OS X: http://undefined.org/python/
- Linux: http://python.org/download/ (usually installed by default, or available in your distributinos official package repository)
- pywin32 Python Extensions for the Win32 API (Windows only)
- wxPython Unicode build required to properly support non-ANSI characters in any input field. So really, just use the Unicode build.
- Windows
- Mac OS X (10.3 and later)
- Linux: use a distro-specific package or see the wxPython download page for other options
- elementtree
- Note: This is a change as of 8 February 2006 (see why ElementTree for details on the switch from libxml2)
- http://effbot.org/downloads/#elementtree
Getting Started
Before you begin building you will need to check out the source code. ccPublisher uses Subversion for source control. To check out the most recent copy of the code, execute the following command:
$ svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/cctools/publisher/trunk ccpublisher
This will check out the entire required source tree, including dependencies from the Zope 3 project, into the ccpublisher directory.
Running
Once you have the dependencies listed above installed, run main.py to start ccPublisher:
$ python main.py

Distributing ccPublisher
This section contains basic information on building a distribution of ccPublisher (or other P6 Application). We will have scripts for this, we just haven't found the right tool. Ideally something like Ant, but without the Java overhead. Suggestions welcome.
