This product provides a mini-framework for expressing the configured state of a Zope Site as a set of filesystem artifacts. These artifacts consist of declarative XML files, which spell out the configuration settings for each "tool" in the site , and supporting scripts / templates, in their "canonical" filesystem representations.
The setup_tool
knows how to export / import configurations and scripts for the following components of a site:
- itself :)
- removal / creation of specified tools
- the role / permission map on the "site" object (its parent)
- properties of the site object
- "Placeful" utilities and adapters registered in the local site manager. Placeless utilities can only be imported.
Third-party products extend the tool by registering handlers for import / export of their unique tools.
See writing-handlers
for a step by step how-to.
GenericSetup doesn't ship with any profile. They have to be provided by third-party products and depend on the registered handlers.
See about-profiles
for more details.
