Migrating old projects to Makefile structure

gistfile1.rst

Updating to Makefile

To make it easier for everyone to setup projects, we use the following commands to init, update and running:

make init (creating startup point, requires additional infos within the readme) make update (autoupdates project, commit all changes) make run (runs the project)

Additional commands are available depending on the project, always check the Makefile to ensure.

How to migrate

We use the fidea-project as a reference to steup hpo-project.

1. Clone the project
2. Ensure a proper Readme.rst is available, use the reference as a guideline.
3. Change the database command within Readme.rst to reflect the projects name, we need this name later to setup personal.py
4. Copy the Makefile into the projec
5. Make sure that the project doesnt use sass, if there is a sass folder change the css: command to point to the right config.rb like compass watch py_src/project. See autofaszination-project as a reference.
6. Check the .init.sh file, you might want to copy the reference init as bootstrap.py might fail when running make init
7. Change the personal.cfg-dist to include the additional eggs (copy the file from fidea)
8. Change the py_src/project/settings/personal.py-dist and enter the correct database informations using postgres. Ideally you can copy the reference personal.py-dist and change the db name.

Thats it, now you should be able to continue with the instructions from the readme.

Troubleshoot
