* Generate an installation scriptGravatar Mike Burns2014-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a `-g` flag to rcup(1) to generate a standalone shell script. This shell script can then be run again, even on different computers, to recreate the symlinks. This allows people to recreate the "download my dotfiles and run ./install.sh" instructions, but with generated code that they do not need to maintain. This provides us more freedom with lsrc(1): since rcm can be used to generate a universal shell script, lsrc(1) now can be harder to install -- it can depend on a compiler, for example -- because you only need to install it on one machine. The generated script is rather limited; this can be improved in future commits, as desired.
* Document the wild hostname(1) issue on OS XGravatar Mike Burns2014-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As described in #82, the hostname on OS X can vary: - The result of hostname(1) can change depending on DHCP settings; by default, as you move between networks, your hostname will change. - The value for `ComputerName` as set in scutil(8) contains values that are inappropriate for a directory name (spaces, quotes, and so on), and is blank by default. - The value for `LocalHostName` changes based on DNS and DHCP settings. Therefore, OS X users are highly encouraged to set a hostname using the `HOSTNAME` variable in rcrc(5).
* 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.
* Generate the list of contributors from gitGravatar Mike Burns2014-03-20
Instead of requiring contributors to update rcm(7), pull the list of contributors from the git log instead. The `rcm.7` file has been moved to `rcm.7.mustache`. The `autogen.sh` command will write `rcm.7` using autocontrib, a quick script included in this commit. This commit adds a `.mailmap` file, used by git-shortlog(1) to produce correct and useful names and email addresses. An initial `.mailmap` has been added to correct some existing email addresses and duplications. `.mailmap` is documented in [Documentation/mailmap.txt][mailmap] for git. This adds a maintainer dependency on Ruby and the mustache gem. The autocontrib program is spiked out in Ruby due to my familarity with the language, but the choice of templating language (mustache) allows flexibility for switching languages later. This is a dependency requirement only for people who run `autogen.sh` -- maintainers. This adds a maintainer dependency on git. Again, this is only for maintainers, and many (all?) of them need git to get rcm's source anyway. Thanks to Patrick Brisbin and George Brocklehurst for the review.
