[SOLVED] Creating a package without an installer

[Nicoge]

Hello,

I would like to create a package to perform several configuration actions on client machines.
To do this, I would like to create a package containing only commands in a Python script, but I can't figure out how to create a package without providing an installer.

Could you help me?

Here is the version information:
WAPT Version: 1.3.13
Server: Windows Server 2016
Client (management console): Windows 10

Thank you very much!

Good morning,

I also don't know the command that could do that, but the simplest way is probably to copy and rename an existing package, manually modify the "WAPT/control" file, and keep only the bare minimum in setup.py:

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *
uninstallkey = []

def install():

Go to https://wapt.tranquil.it and search for "tis-xpconfig," for example, to get inspired by the methodology.

The store includes other examples; feel free to explore and discover them.

Hello,

thank you for the replies to my question.
However, the question was more about how to create a basic empty package with just the project and setup.py?

Currently, you can create a package from an executable or MSI file, which creates this basic package, but I haven't found a way to create a completely empty package.

Command-line quick-hack technique

Code: Select all

wapt-get make-group-template test-monpaquetvide

Next, in the control file, modify the value "section"

https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc-1.5/Creation ... er-control

And there you have it, an empty package. All you have to do now is copy and paste a setup.py file and empty its contents

Hello Nicoge,

Thank you for the answers to my question.

With WAPT 1.5, you can simply run the make-template command with a package name and it will create an empty package with that name.
wapt-get make-template my-empty-package

Sincerely,

Denis

PS: WAPT 1.5 RC1 should be released tomorrow.
