Simple development buildout for Plone 3.3 (RC3) on Repoze

On the web there are some documents that describes how to build Plone compatibile with WSGI, e.g.:

• How to add repoze to your plone buildout
• Buildout with Repoze, Zope, and Plone
• Rolling out Repoze
  

But this solutions uses mostly now very beautiful workarounds. So I made my own buildout. I will use it only for development. Deployment buildout probably will be completely different.

Buildout is based on code be Mikko Ohtamaa published on Red Innovation Ltd. blog.

[buildout]

Paster to run needs development.ini file:

[DEFAULT]
debug = True

[app:zope2]
paste.app_factory = repoze.obob.publisher:make_obob
repoze.obob.get_root = repoze.zope2.z2bob:get_root
repoze.obob.initializer = repoze.zope2.z2bob:initialize
repoze.obob.helper_factory = repoze.zope2.z2bob:Zope2ObobHelper
zope.conf = %(here)s/parts/instance/etc/zope.conf

[filter:errorlog]
use = egg:repoze.errorlog#errorlog
path = /__error_log__
keep = 20
ignore = 
    paste.httpexceptions:HTTPUnauthorized
    paste.httpexceptions:HTTPNotFound
    paste.httpexceptions:HTTPFound

[pipeline:main]
pipeline =

    egg:Paste#httpexceptions
    egg:repoze.retry#retry
    egg:repoze.tm#tm
    egg:repoze.vhm#vhm_xheaders
    errorlog
    zope2

[server:main]
use = egg:Paste#http
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8080

To start web server use command:

./bin/paster serve development.ini

Voilà :)
