Developing these plugins

All of these plugins share setup code and configuration so there is a top-level Makefile to automate process of setting them up for test and development.

Pre-requisites

You have python installed on your path as well as virtualenv

Makefile targets

To create a local virtualenv called venv, install all extra dependencies and set up all of the packages for development simply run:

    make develop

To do this for a subset of packages run:

    make develop PACKAGES="pytest-profiling pytest-devpi"

If you already have a virtualenv and would rather just use that, you can run this to copy all the required files in place and setup up all the packages using that:

    make local_develop
