* Manpage cleanupGravatar Mike Burns2014-03-07
| | | | | | | | * Make sure `rcm` is mentioned in every `.Nd`, so that it will appear in whatis(1). * Every `.Bl -tag` must have a `-width`. * Put the sections in a consistent order, as defined my mandoc. * A `.Sh` should not be followed by a `.Pp`.
* Force some directories to be symlinksGravatar Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini and Mike Burns2014-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Typically a directory structure is copied instead of symlinked, while files are symlinked. However, some cases require symlinked dirs: git submodules, vim plugins, and so on. This introduces a `SYMLINK_DIRS` option for rcrc(5) that takes a space-separated list of "exclude patterns". Any directory matching these patterns is symlinked. This also introduces a `-S` argument for lsrc(1), rcup(1), and rcdn(1). This argument takes a pattern, for one-off directory symlinking. It can be repeated. This also introduces `-S` and `-s` for mkrc(1). `-S` will re-install the files as symlinks, and `-s` will not. This does work with `-C`, though perhaps unintuitively - we don't know what the user means in this case. However, it will not crash. Bug: `-s` does not work right if `SYMLINK_DIRS` is set. Bug #36 addresses this.
* 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).
* 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`.
* 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
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
