jp: pubsub options refactoring: There is now only "use_pubsub", and specification are set using "pubsub_flags" argument when instantiating CommandBase. Options are more Python Zen compliant by using explicit arguments for item, draft, url instead of trying to guess with magic keyword and type detection. Pubsub node and item are now always using respecively "-n" and "-i" even when required, this way shell history can be used to change command more easily, and it's globally less confusing for user. if --pubsub-url is used, elements can be overwritten with individual option (e.g. change item id with --item). New "use_draft" argument in CommandBase, to re-use current draft or open a file path as draft. Item can now be specified when using a draft. If it already exists, its content will be added to current draft (with a separator), to avoid loosing data. common.BaseEdit.getItemPath could be simplified thanks to those changes. Pubsub URI handling has been moved to base.py.

You can install SàT automatically using easy_install or pip, and it is available in several GNU/Linux distributions. The full instructions are available on the wiki: http://wiki.goffi.org/wiki/Salut_%C3%A0_Toi
Below is are installation instructions, but please check the wiki which may be more up-to-date.

***

You can automatically install SàT and its dependencies using easy_install or pip. You will however need to install Python's headers (needed to build some packages), WxPython which is available in most Gnu/Linux distributions, PyGObject and developments version of libxml2 and libxslt (to compile lxml python library).


The environment variable SAT_INSTALL customises the installation, it contains flags separated by spaces:
	- "nopreinstall" skips all preinstallation checks
	- "autodeb" automatically installs missing packages on Debian-based distributions
	- "nox" disables installation of X-based packages (WxWidgets), this is useful for servers

PyGobject is automatically installed on Debian-based distributions if "autodeb" option is set. Indeed, on Debian-based distribution, you can type (with the root account):

# apt-get install python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
# SAT_INSTALL=autodeb pip install .

On a *buntu, same commands with sudo:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
$ sudo SAT_INSTALL=autodeb pip install .


After installing SàT, you need to install the media:

$ mkdir -p ~/sat/media/destination/path
$ cd ~/sat/media/destination/path
wget ftp://ftp.goffi.org/sat_media/sat_media.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf sat_media.tar.bz2

then, create a ~/.sat.conf file which contains:

### sat.conf ###
[DEFAULT]
media_dir=~/sat/media/destination/path
### end sat.conf ###

Of course, replace ~/sat/media/destination/path with the actual path you want to use.
Check the wiki for more information about this configuration file: http://wiki.goffi.org/wiki/Configuration/en

You should now be able to launch sat:
	- to launch the backend, enter
$ sat
	- to stop the backend, enter:
$ sat stop
	- to launch Primitivus, enter:
$ primitivus
	then create a profile.
	- to use jp, follow its help:
$ jp --help
