* Unset the CDPATH before running the programGravatar Mike Burns2014-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported in #23, you can trick `rcup` into installing into `.` with this `CDPATH`: export CDPATH=/tmp:. As described [online][1], it is a mistake to export the `CDPATH` environment variable to begin with. Since it is a one-liner to work around it, though, it's worth fixing. The workaround is to unset `CDPATH` at the beginning of the script. This does not affect the outside environment, it only affects the script and its functions.

* Prefer RCRC environment variable over ~/.rcrcGravatar patrick brisbin2013-12-11
| | | | | | | | | * Centralize configuration loading in rcm.sh(.in) * Check for readability, not just existence Add RCRC notes to all manpages. Putting the environment variables in a table lines them up more neatly and definitively, across all output formats, and also follows the examples used by e.g. BSD ls(1).

* Reference the thoughtbot URLsGravatar Mike Burns2013-12-09
| | | | | Now that Mike (that's me) transfered this project to thoughtbot, move all the URLs to thoughtbot-specific ones, too.
* Show a difference between moving and link in mkrcGravatar Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini2013-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found that after you add a file with `mkrc` command from any dir, the output looks like: $ mkrc ~/.my-awesome-dot-file ‘$HOME/.my-awesome-dot-file -> ‘$HOME/.dotfiles/my-awesome-dot-file' ‘$HOME/.my-awesome-dot-file -> ‘$HOME/.dotfiles/my-awesome-dot-file' $ It looks like the output it's appearing twice, which could led you believe something went wrong or the output is a bit buggy. Obivously, it's not, and the command ran without problems. Use `$PRINT` to show which step it is on before the verbose messages are displayed.
* Fix typo in rcm man pageGravatar Dan Croak2013-10-02
| | | | The word "multiple" was misspelled.
* Upgrade to automake 1.14Gravatar Mike Burns2013-09-14
| | | | | This is what FreeBSD has in its ports tree and is the latest as of 21 June 2013.
* Build HTML docs for rcdn(1)Gravatar Mike Burns2013-09-12
| | | | | | The Makefile did not explcitly list rcdn(1), so the HTML was never generated for it. Temporary fix: also list rcdn(1) in the Makefile. Desired long-term fix: use the man/Makefile to generate the HTML docs.
* 1.1 buld cruftGravatar Mike Burns2013-09-12
| | | | Running autogen.sh changes these files. Clearly they must be important.
* Bump to 1.1.0v1.1.0Gravatar Mike Burns2013-09-12

* Add -h for lsrc, mkrc, rcdn, rcupGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-16
| | | | Quick usage summaries for the four commands.
* Add -kK for rcup and rcdnGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-16
| | | | | The hooks can be skipped using `-K`, if needed and they can be forced with the `-k` flag.
* Pre-up, post-up, pre-down, and post-down hooksGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are programs that, if they exist, will run before or after the syncronization/removal is run. Three use cases caused this: 1. The thoughtbot dotfiles will run a vundle installation set of commands after intitial synchronization. 2. I changed the location of `.bash_history` to `.bash/history` and wanted to move `.bash_history` to `.bash/history` after up to preserve existing history. 3. Moving from an existing old-style custom install script to `rcup` might require some cleanup; this happened in practice, and required a simple script.

* Add the COPY_ALWAYS optionGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The suite now honors the `COPY_ALWAYS` option in rcrc(5). This can be set to a space-separated list of file globs. Any file matching a glob is copied instead of symlinked. This is handy both for secure programs (`netrc`, `ssh/id_*`) and for programs that oddly re-write files (`weechat/*`). To always copy everything, use the `*` glob. This is reflected throughout the suite as follows: * lsrc now has a `-F` option which shows a symbol to indicate whether it is a symlink (`@`) or a copy (`X`). * rcdn only removes symlinks unless the file under question matches a `COPY_ALWAYS` glob, in which case it is removed regardless of whether it is a symlink. * rcup will copy instead of symlinking any file that matches any `COPY_ALWAYS` glob.
* Change `-e` to `-x`Gravatar Mike Burns2013-08-11
| | | | | | Since the `-e` flag was for exclude patterns, and since it's rare for a word with an `x` to come along, change the `-e` flag to `-x`. Better to do it now before a new release.
* rcdn only removes symlinksGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Picture this case: % ls -l ~/.a ~/.a -> ~/.dotfiles/a % tree ~/.dotfiles/a a `-- b `-- c `-- d `-- foo Ideally we would want `~/.a/b/c/d/foo` to be the symlink, and the rest to be actual directories. However, some people did it differently. Running `rcdn` on the above would previously have removed `foo` from `~/.dotfiles`. Now, it removes `~/.a` and nothing more.
* Upgrade to automake 1.13.3 and autoconf 2.69Gravatar Mike Burns2013-08-11
| | | | This is what is in Debian testing.
* Fix inconsistent hostname handlingGravatar George Brocklehurst2013-08-06
| | | | | | `lsrc` was stripping hostname domain suffixes, but `mkrc` was not meaning that `mkrc -o` didn't work correctly with a suffix. This was particularly noticeable on OS X where the hostname has a `.local` suffix by default.
* Add -C for copying filesGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some files prefer to be copies instead of symlinks---for example, OpenSSH ignores symlinks. Add the `-C` option to mkrc(1) and rcup(1) to handle this. mkrc -C .ssh rcup -C ssh This does raise a synchronization problem that I do not yet know how to solve; namely, what to do when the rc file changes. Perhaps a `rcsync` command is in order; perhaps `rcup` should handle this; perhaps `rcsync` is a better name for `rcup`.
* Inclusionary patterns: -IGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | The `-I` flag serves as an "undo" for the `-e` pattern. It overrides any matching exclusions, allowing for temporary listing/installation/removal. For example, if you want to try a `.pythonrc` but leave it in your `EXCLUDES` in rcrc(5), you can do: rcup -Ipythonrc pythonrc
* Introduce exclusion patternsGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lsrc(1), rcup(1), and rcdn(1) commands now take any number of `-e` flags, used to specify an exclusion pattern. This can also be controlled via rcrc(5), the `EXCLUDES` variable. An exclusion pattern specifies a file glob to skip. In the case of lsrc(1), any file matching the glob is not listed; in rcup(1) it is not symlinked; and in rcdn(1) it is not removed. The file glob can be preceded by the name of a dotfiles directory (separated from the file glob by a colon) to increase the specificity. Useful for: rcdn -e rcrc rcup -d work-dotfiles -e bashrc rcup -d ~/.dotfiles -d wife-dotfiles -d sys-dotfiles -e wife-dotfiles:tigrc
* Some 1.0.0 cruftGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-03
| | | | I'll figure out `make release` someday.

* rcup -f and -iGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add the `-f` and `-i` options to rcup(1). `-f` will overwrite any file it doesn't recognize; `-i` will prompt each time, and is the default. For example: rm ~/.zshrc touch ~/.zshrc rcup -f # overwrite that .zshrc with the symlink rcup -i # prompt whether to overwrite that .zshrc
* Add rcdnGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This program will remove all your rc files that are symlinked. This can be further controlled by `-d` and `-t`. For example, you can feel comfortable trying new rc files because you can quickly remove them again with `-d`. rcup -d thoughtbot-dotfiles rcdn -d thoughtbot-dotfiles Likewise, when you're done with Python just drop it: rcdn -t python
* Bugfix: support -t and -d againGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-03
| | | | | | | | | Due to the awesome refactoring in fe3244ca9c8c9a38ea700851e36667b1015d11e6, the `-t` and `-d` options were broken. Fix it by removing the `handle_metadata_flags` function and inlining the code again, and build the `LS_ARGS` argument differently. Clearly I need a test suite.
* Add `mkrc -o` to install host-specific filesGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-02
| | | | | | | | To make it easier to manage host-specific rc files, `mkrc` now supports a `-o` option. This causes the specified file to be added to the host section named for the current machine. This option is in conflict with the `-t` option.
* Extra argument parsing into rcm.shGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-02
| | | | | | Pull the `-V`, `-v`, `-q`, `-t`, and `-d` out into the `handle_common_flags` and `handle_metadata_flags` functions, shared between the different programs.
* Add a release targetGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The `make release` command will build the Debian package, push the version to a git tag on GitHub, and upload the docs to GitHub pages. This also adds a `deb` target, along with `build-docs`, `upload-docs`, `build-tag`, and `push-tag`. In addition, introduce a `NEWS.md` file. Both `rcm.sh.in` and `NEWS.md.in` will act as input files. This is to abstract over the version number.
* Document Debian installation instructionsGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | Currently the deb file is hosted on my personal server. Download it then use `dpkg` to install it.
* Document the Arch installationGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | SInce Arch users choose from different installation options for themselves, just link to the AUR page and let them decide.
* Add Arch PKGBUILDGravatar patrick brisbin2013-08-01

* Homebrew installationGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | | | This can be installed using Homebrew for OS X. brew tap mike-burns/rcm brew install rcm
* Rebuild Makefile.in with automake 1.14v0.0.2Gravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | | The Makefile.in generated from automake 1.14 is backward compatible, but not forward compatible. This allows it to build on more systems, such as Arch and OS X.
* Wording improvements to rcm(7)Gravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | Again thanks to Rebecca Meritz (@rmeritz). The word I was looking for was, indeed, "empty".
* Incorporate final round of rcm(7) feedbackGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | | | Some good suggestions from Rebecca Meritz (@rmeritz) again, including having the tag, host, and multiple dirs sections use enumerated lists like the quick start sections, and using the phrase "common problems" instead of "caveats".
* Re-write the tutorialGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Rebecca Meritz (@rmeritz) for feedback on rcm(7), I have restructured it and re-written the quick start section. Much of the details about the sync algorithm have moved into rcup(1). The new rcm(7) covers a quick start for those with existing directories, including caveats for `install` scripts, dotted filenames, and non-~/.dotfiles directory names; a quick start for those without anything; and motivating sections for "advanced" features like tags, host-specific files, and multiple directories.
* Document how to generate the gh-pagesGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-30
| | | | | The mdocml tools, specifically mandoc(1), are used to generate the gh-pages HTML docs. This documentation is now documented.
* Re-write the manpages in mdocGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-28
| | | | | | Convert all the manpages to mdoc. This gives us access to the mdoc suite of tools, which includes HTML conversion, plus mdoc is a more expressable and natural format in general.
* Add tutorial-style documentation: rcm(7)Gravatar Mike Burns2013-07-28
| | | | | | Add a manpage with a tutorial, named `rcm`. This covers how to get started from nothing, how to convert an existing dotfiles directory, and why to use suite at all.
* Alter the dotfiles dir with mkrcGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-27
| | | | | | | | | Bugfix: passing `-d` to `mkrc` previously did not make the symlink. This is now fixed. We have previously installed the file by calling `rcup`, but we never passed the `-d` flag to `rcup`. Instead, we `cd`ed. This changes it: no `cd`, pass the `-d` flag.
* Handle relative dotfiles directoriesGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `lsrc` command (and thus the other commands, too) now supports passing a relative directory name to `-d`. Previously, this caused only the non-host and non-tag directories to run; now all dotfiles directories are run for all metafiles, too. As an example, this now works correctly: lsrc -d dotfiles This still works, too: lsrc -d /home/mike/dotfiles
* Able to generate deb packagesGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-27
| | | | | | | | | The following command can generate a Debian package: debuild -us uc The directory structure and tarball must be perfectly set up first. This is documented in `DEVELOPERS.md`.
* Re-write using GNU autoconf and automakeGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-27
| | | | Replace the `Makefile` with a `configure.ac` and a set of `Makefile.am`.
* Flatten man and share directoriesGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-27
| | | | | The `man` and `share` directories in this project had an unnecessarily deeply nested structure. Flatten it.
* Rename libexec to shareGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-23
| | | | | | The `/usr/local/libexec` standard looks awkward on Debian, so after careful and sad evaluation we've concluded that we do not, in fact, execute the `rcm.sh` library. Move it to `/usr/local/share` instead.
* Hide duplicatesGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With multiple source directories it is possible to have duplicates. Consider these source directories, `a` and `b`: |-- a | |-- bar | `-- foo `-- b |-- baz `-- foo The goal is to have this: .bar -> a/bar .baz -> b/baz .foo -> a/foo Note the duplcate `foo` file. We now handle this, in `lsrc` and therefore in `rcup`. We do this by storing a `:`-separated string of destination files (e.g. `.foo`) and `grep`ing that string before we operate on any destination.
