Improved templating #5

Open pelson opened 9 years ago

pelson commented 9 years ago

Conda smithy has a hardcoded number of files in https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-smithy/blob/master/conda_smithy/configure_feedstock.py which are generated into the resulting feedstock. Remove the bespoke functions, and just generate all files in the https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-smithy/tree/master/templates directory.

For feedstocks which need to override the templates, allow a templates directory in the feedstock which can inherit from conda-smithy (e.g. {% extends "conda-smithy/README.tmpl" %}) for truly bespoke customisation.

Requires some knowledge of Jinja2.

Shouldn't this go to the conda smithy repo?

Yes, it was an attempt to kindle some interest by pulling together the required work into a single issue tracker. Canonically, this issue is a conda-smithy issue. As you notice, the complexity is low, and the size is medium, yet nobody has been forthcoming with a contribution. If you're interested, I'd happily accept a standalone :wink: PR which addresses this.
