Hi all,
I'm back, temporarily, and in need of some recreational coding, having
thought about some issues to do with making Maypole easier to get up and
running. It dawned on me this morning that I would like this to happen:
% maypole-install dbi:mysql:thingy
# Creating directory thingy
# Writing thingy/Thingy.pm
# Writing thingy/Thingy/DBI.pm
# Writing thingy/Thingy/Widget.pm
# Writing thingy/Thingy/Wodget.pm
# Writing thingy/Thingy/User.pm
<Perl> push @INC, "/home/simon/maypole-sites/thingy"; </Perl>
<location /thingy>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Thingy
</location>
Now I'm working out how to get from here to there.
The first thing we need to do is have the factory templates in a known
location. I propose we do this by moving templates/ under lib/Maypole/
so that they'll be automatically installed by MakeMaker. Then the default
installation would create a symlink from thingy/templates/factory to the
known install path. I won't provide a patch for this because it requires lots
of svn messing.
The next step is to write my magic installation thing. I can work on
that. :)
Does this seem like a reasonable avenue to pursue? If so, Aaron, could you
do the svn magic?
Once we've got this working, I'm going to have a blitz on error
reporting. :)
Oh, and I commend http://blog.simon-cozens.org/post/view/993 to you.
Simon
