Behold: pip install Plone works!

1

Pinching myself. Just ran the command:
bin/pip install Plone -c https://dist.plone.org/release/6.0-dev/constraints.txt -f https://dist.plone.org/release/6.0-dev/ --use-deprecated legacy-resolver

.... and pip-based Plone just installed!
This is a non-trivial milestone, maximum respect to all that have worked on this!

What do I do next?
How do I spin up a new instance?

Thanks @avoinea.
It worked! There was no feedback on the terminal when I ran mkwsgiinstance but was able to use runwsgi to launch against the generated .ini file.
I know this is Alpha stuff. My immediate thoughts:

  1. I love that I can simply edit an ini file and not have to rerun buildout to change my ports and other settings.
  2. This opens up a simpler workflow for small deployments (a global runwsgi command).
  3. feedback on the terminal should say what just happened "generated zope.ini file, it is located here, use runwsgi to run it"
  4. Wondering if renaming these commands would better match what a user is attempting to do.
    In this case they want to initialize a new plone site or instance.
    maybe:
    bin/ploneinit or bin/plonecreate

yes, this works. Thanks.

I put a PDM based setup together for a simple and lean Plone 6 classic UI installation.

PDM is a modern package manager for Python.
It is very good in resolving dependencies and keeping the build consistent.
