Improve idiomatic usage docs of Butler repos with command-line tasks

    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

      Description

      DM-11558 established initial user documentation for command-line tasks, including how to use Butler repos with command-line tasks. In that PR, Robert Lupton has asked that the documentation should convey the idiomatic usage of Butler repos.

      • Describe where --output is still useful. Jim Bosch writes: "(e.g. you need outputs to go to a different filesystem and you can't make a symlink for one reason or another). I basically consider it useful only as a fine-grained-control backup for when you don't have a properly set up processing environment.".
      • Describe a system of using reruns within a team environment (e.g. user namespaces of reruns).
      • If --output and the PIPE_INPUT_ROOT environment variable is successfully deprecated via RFC, this ticket can be used to implement those RFCs.

            I'm not sure where we stand with this ticket but it seems like it either should be closed or rebranded as a pipetask user guide.

            Out-of-scope for SQuaRE. The team in charge should feel free to open tickets as-appropriate in their own epics.
