* Fix #237Gravatar Mat M2020-08-28

* Fix shell globbing bugsGravatar Edd Salkield2020-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several problems leading to the unintentional globbing issue: Firstly, within `rcup` and `rcdn`, when constructing arguments to pass to `lsrc`, the _for_ loops over the arguments do not have quoted variables, leading to globbing. I have quoted these accordingly. Secondly, `lsrc` is invoked as follows: ```sh dests_and_srcs="$(lsrc $LS_ARGS)" ``` When shells use command substitution like this, they go through two stages: - Word expansion. This is useful because it splits `LS_ARGS` back up into its constituent strings. - File name expansion. The side effect of this is to introduce globbing. You can read more about how this works [here](https://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_03_04.html#sect_03_04_07). To fix this, I have passed `lsrc` and its arguments to `eval`. This involves quoting the relevant arguments, so: ```sh for dotfiles_dir in "$DOTFILES_DIRS"; do LS_ARGS="$LS_ARGS -d $dotfiles_dir" done ``` becomes ```sh for dotfiles_dir in "$DOTFILES_DIRS"; do LS_ARGS="$LS_ARGS -d \"$dotfiles_dir\"" done ``` Then `lsrc` is invoked as follows: ```sh dests_and_srcs="$(eval "lsrc $LS_ARGS")" ``` There is one final non-globbing issue: the parsing of arguments can introduce extra spaces in the variables, which then trip up the `dotfiles_dir_excludes` function. For example: ```sh I) includes="$includes $OPTARG";; ``` introduces a space if `includes` is empty or null. I have introduced the function `append_variable`, which allows two variables to be appended without introducing unnecessary whitespace. Then the additional whitespace is never added in the first place. Fixes #256.

* Expand ~ in DOTFILES_DIRSGravatar Rebecca Meritz2017-10-27
| | | | | Hat tip to fgatham for the `eval echo` tip. This means both `~` and e.g. `~dmr` work correctly.
* Handle spaces in dotfile nameGravatar Mike Burns and Eric Collins2016-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In mkrc, separate the list of files with newlines instead of spaces. Change the `$IFS` when iterating to handle this. We hand the file off to rcup, which encodes the file name by replacing spaces with the bell character (`\a`). rcup then sends the file name off to lsrc, which decodes the bell back into a space. The test makes sure an `a` character is in the filename, in case some encoding goes wrong. We use tr(1) instead of sed(1) because tr(1) handles `\a`. Shoutout to Sublime Text 3 for forcing this issue.
* Fix relative exclude globsGravatar Mike Burns and Eric Collins2016-12-26
| | | | | | | Pass the dotfiles subdir along with the file to `is_excluded` so that we can match against it. Preserve single-file compatibility by looping twice.
* Do not depend on readlink(1) or -qGravatar Jarkko Kniivilä2015-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Solaris 10 lacks readlink(1). Additionally, its different grep(1) and diff(1) do not take a `-q` flag. Use a Perl one-liner instead of readlink(1) which is missing on Solaris 10. Also because /usr/bin/grep and diff(1) don't understand the `-q` option, make them go quiet by redirecting stdout to `/dev/null` instead. The Perl dependency only exists in the test suite, so it does not incur a runtime penalty for end users. This is to work around the fact that readlink(1) is missing on Solaris. The tradeoff is: on Solaris, installing third-party software (readlink) is a pain, whereas on e.g. FreeBSD installing third-party software (Perl) is simple and common.
* Changes the priority to: hosts->tags->defaultGravatar Christian Höltje2015-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | This changes the order that things are pulled in so that: 1. Hosts take priority over everything. 2. Tags take priority over default. 3. Default takes priority over nothing. Closes #94
* Support rc files without leading dotsGravatar Christopher Koch2014-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | This adds the `-U` option to lsrc(1), rcup(1), and rcdn(1) commands; its argument is an exclusion pattern. Any file matching this pattern is symlinked without the leading dot. There is also a `-u` option to undo a `-U`. The `UNDOTTED` setting in rcrc(5) can be used to set it permanently. The mkrc(1) command has `-U` and `-u` flags. They take no argument.
* Update usage messagesGravatar Mike Burns2014-11-14
| | | | | | | | Various flags were missing from usage messages across the system; `-g` and `-s` were the most notable ones. Add them to the appropriate usage messages. Spotted by Christopher Koch.
* Allow the user to override SYMLINK_DIRS with -sGravatar Mike Burns2014-07-09
| | | | | | | | This adds a `-s` that can be used to override the `SYMLINK_DIRS` config, or the `-S` flag, to lsrc(1), mkrc(1), rcup(1), and rcdn(1). The `-s` flag is the opposite of -S: any argument, if it is a directory, is not symlinked but instead recurred down.
* On bad args, show usage and exitGravatar Mike Burns2014-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | The lsrc(1), mkrc(1), rcup(1), and rcdn(1) commands will now print a usage message and exit immediately (with 64, `EX_USAGE`) when given an option it does not understand. This includes `--version` and `--help`. Normal `-h` will print usage and exit successfully, as normal. Closes #59.
* Update documentation on usageGravatar Mike Burns2014-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New flags have accumulated without proper care for the usage instructions or man pages. I manually went through each program and verified its usage instruction against its `getopts`, then I alphabeticalized the usage message. Based on the usage message, I then verified the synposis in the manpage. Then, based on the synposis, I alphabeticalized the detailed listing of the arguments and filled in the missing pieces. The `-h` and `-V` arguments were missing from all manpages. In the future we will need to be more careful about this. It would be good to automate a checker that refuses to build unless the docs have all the flags mentioned.
* Add a hostname overrideGravatar Mike Burns2014-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on issue #82, we now provide `-B` to override the hostname. In particular: - `mkrc -B foo` will enable `-o` but with the hostname set up `foo`. - `lsrc -B foo` will work like normal `lsrc` except it treats `host-foo` as the host-specific directory. - `rcup -B foo` will run a normal `rcup` except `host-foo` is the host-specific directory. - `rcdn -B foo` is just like normal `rcdn`, but with `host-foo` as the host-specific directory. The `HOSTNAME` can also be set in the rcrc(5), and this is overridden by the aforementioned `-B`. While making this change: The `test/Makefile.am` used a mix of tabs and spaces. Since it's a Makefile, replace it all with tabs.
* Files with the same prefix in different dirsGravatar The Linux Kitten2014-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug: ~% ls -1 test-dotfiles/**/*(.) test-dotfiles/tag-openbsdbox/zshrc_alias test-dotfiles/tag-openbsdbox/zshrc_bsd test-dotfiles/tag-zsh/zshrc ~% lsrc -t openbsdbox -t zsh -d test-dotfiles /home/mike/.zshrc_alias:/home/mike/test-dotfiles/tag-openbsdbox/zshrc_alias /home/mike/.zshrc_bsd:/home/mike/test-dotfiles/tag-openbsdbox/zshrc_bsd ~% We expect to also see: /home/mike/.zshrc:/home/mike/test-dotfiles/tag-zsh/zshrc This arises because we were checking for files the start with another name, rather than a full equality.
* Discover a POSIX shell for SolarisGravatar Mike Burns2014-03-28
Under Solaris, use ksh instead of `/bin/sh`. This uses `$SHELL` as a POSIX shell, coupled with a `configure` check that sets it correctly. Note that the POSIX shell might end up being bash, so this actually introduces more fragmentation than it reduces. Taken from https://github.com/freedreno/mesa/blob/master/configure.ac
