ClueReleaseManager is an implementation of the PyPi server backend as provided by http://pypi.python.org. It uses SQLAlchemy (on top of sqlite by default) to store all project metadata and the filesystem for storing project files.
- User registration via setuptools
- File upload (ie eggs) via setuptools
- Basic authentication based security
- Simple index browsing
- Full http://pypi.python.org PyPi server compatibility
- Python 2.5
- setuptools
- SQLAlchemy 0.5rc4 or higher
- repoze.who 1.0.8 or higher
- Werkzeug 0.4 or higher (less than 0.5 which has issues)
Install using the easy_install tool such as:
$ easy_install ClueReleaseManagerThis will provide the cluerelmgr-server and cluerelmgr-admin scripts which are the entry points for everything ClueReleaseManager.
By default there are no security/access rules setup so uploading to the ClueReleaseManager instance will not work. The most important step to getting ready is to create a new user with access:
$ cluerelmgr-admin updateuser firstuser somepassword firstuser@localhost managerThis command creates a new user with the username "firstuser", password "somepassword", and email "firstuser@localhost". The "manager" entry at the end gives this user complete access to this ClueReleaseManager instance.
Now that we have the user created, we can go ahead and launch the server:
$ cluerelmgr-serverFirst you need to configure your local distutils to use the new local pypi server. To do this, edit $HOME/.pypirc:
[server-login]
username:firstuser
password:somepasswordNext go into your new project and register it with the server:
$ python setup.py register -r http://localhost:8080And now that the project (or distro in ClueReleaseManager terms) is registered, we can upload files:
$ python setup.py bdist_egg sdist upload -r http://localhost:8080There is a special user named anonymous that can also be given roles. To allow an anonymous user to view all distros, first add him to a group:
$ cluerelmgr-admin updateusersgroups anonymous commonAnd next give that group access global access by doing:
$ cluerelmgr-admin updategroup common readerUsage: cluerelmgr-server [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PORT, --port=PORT Port to listen on, defaults to 8080
-i HOST, --interface=HOST
Host to listen on, defaults to 0.0.0.0
-b BASEFILEDIR, --basefiledir=BASEFILEDIR
Base directory to store uploaded files,
defaults to files
-d, --debug Activate debug mode
-s, --self-register Allow self-registration
-u BASEURL, --baseurl=BASEURL

--backup-pypi=BACKUP_PYPIS
Python indexes to fall back to. When backup
index servers are configured they will be
queried if the user browsing this server has
the adddistro role and the this server will
be updated with all metadata and files.Created and maintained by Rocky Burt <rocky@serverzen.com>.
