JEJoo! - Just Enough Joomla!

... is an intent to create a script, capable of producing an always up to date bare bone version of the Joomla! content management system

How does it work ?

The script does:

1. Clone the current CMS repository.
2. Strip out and save the "removable" packages defined in the elements.xml file.

The result is a "bare bone" Joomla! which is still installable and a fully functional CMS.<br /> The "additional" packages have been saved to separate folders and can be added later to create custom builds (blends ? ).<br /> Other (3rd party) packages and languages can be added.

Usage

The script uses a personal path to the Joomla! platform which must be set as JOOMLA_PLATFORM_PATH - Please adjust this to your needs.

Open a command prompt, cd to the directory and run the script ./jejo.php [options]

The script produces colors if you have the PEAR Console_Colors script installed.

Additional parameters

• --help - Try this first =;)
• --cfgfile <filename> - Path to an elements.xml file (default is elements.xml)
• --forcebuild - Force a build even if the repo has not changed.
• --noremoveindexhtml - Do not remove superfluous index.html files.
• --nocolors Don't be fancy ;)
• -q - Be quiet.

Directory layout:

<ROOT>
  |_ checkout - The actual clone of the CMS repository - will be created by the script
  |_ extract - The extracted packages - will be created by the script
  |_ stripped - The "stripped" (bare bone) CMS - will be created by the script

  |- elements.xml - The elements to process (package names with files and query specifications)
  |- jejoo.php - The magic script to run
  |- readme.md - You are looking at it right now..

History

This PHP script has been adapted from a bash script which has been created as a personal exercise in bash programming.

• The original project can be found here (still): joomlacode.org/elkuku/jejo
• A web site to play around with it is here (still): http://jejo.der-beta-server.de/jejo - it should be fully functional, updated every 6 hours and able to produce custom builds.

P.S. ...

I almost forgot to mention... This script has been created and tested in a Linux environment. If you encounter any kind of trouble (I believe you will), feel free to open a ticket here.

If you also have the solution to fix it, or would like to contribute in any other way - GitHub pull request are welcome.

Have Fun =;)
