Needed information for generation:
|
||||
- short option
|
||||
- long option
|
||||
- short description (for usage ouput)
|
||||
- long description (for manpage output)
|
||||
Config file and package tracking utility.
|
||||
|
||||
* Machine specific configuration
|
||||
- Manage dotfiles and system config files.
|
||||
- Selectively command and uncomment depending on machine configuration.
|
||||
- Store a list of all installed packages.
|
||||
- Install packages from a stored list.
|
||||
|
||||
- Selection based on file name
|
||||
- Config section selection based on pattern with machine name
|
||||
- Possibly variable insertion and comment removal
|
||||
|
||||
* Option Parsing
|
||||
|
||||
Parsed from left to right.
|
||||
|
||||
** Types
|
||||
|
||||
- Short option
|
||||
- Long option
|
||||
- Argument to option
|
||||
- Non-option parameter (default argument)
|
||||
|
||||
*** Short Option
|
||||
|
||||
'-' followed by short option character.
|
||||
If option has required argument, directly after OR separated by white-space.
|
||||
Optional argument must be directly after the option character.
|
||||
|
||||
Possible to write several short options after one '-',
|
||||
if all (except last) do not have *required* or *optional* arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
*** Long Option
|
||||
|
||||
'--' followed by long option name.
|
||||
If option has a required argument, directly after, separated by '=' OR white-space.
|
||||
Optional argument must be directly after the option, separated by '='.
|
||||
|
||||
*** Non-option Parameter
|
||||
|
||||
Each parameter not starting with '-' and not a required argument of a previous option,
|
||||
is a non-option parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
Each parameter after a '--' parameter is always interpreted as a non-option parameter.
|
||||

||||
* Examples

** Build instructions
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC shell-script
|
||||
./stowage -Fals
|
||||

||||
|
||||
./stowage --file --add --pull --push
|
||||
|
||||
./stowage -r filename
|
||||

|
||||
./stowage --remove filename
|
||||
|
||||
./stowage --remove filename other stuff
|
||||
./stowage --remove filename -- other stuff
|
||||
$ mkdir build
|
||||
$ cd build
|
||||
$ cmake ..
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
** Multiple of the same options
|
||||
** Installation
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC shell-script
|
||||
./stowage -e pattern1 -epattern2 --regexp=pattern3 --regexp pattern4
|
||||
$ sudo make install
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
* TODO [24/38]
|
||||
** Usage
|
||||
|
||||
- [X] macros: add more EXPECT_
|
||||
- [X] macros: print to stderr, add colors
|
||||
- [X] suite: improve printing style
|
||||
- [X] convert more tests from main()
|
||||
- [X] suite: add time tracking
|
||||
- [X] suite: print time info
|
||||
- [X] suite: add mechanism for EXPECT_ macros to mark current test as failed
|
||||
- [X] suite: print suite failed tests
|
||||
*** Selectively comment and uncomment
|
||||
|
||||
- [X] argparser: after first non option, go into no-option mode. this should be a setting to enable (default off)
|
||||
- [X] argparser: support '--' to go into non-option mode
|
||||
- [X] argparser: add multi-option support, vectors!
|
||||
- [X] argparser: support non-option arguments parsing + storing
|
||||
- [X] argparser: non-option arguments, what error messages, when?
|
||||
- [X] argparser: update tests to check non-option arguments
|
||||
- [X] argparser: add addOption overloads
|
||||
- [ ] argparser: generate usage string
|
||||
- [ ] argparser: generate man page string
|
||||
- [X] argparser: parse() function to return bool false if any error has occurred
|
||||
- [ ] argparser: setting for failure behavior (usage/exit/usage+exit)
|
||||
- [X] argparser: add proper tests for non-existent options
|
||||
- [X] argparser: m_exitOnFirstError is implemented wrong in longOption, should also break in the main loop!
|
||||
I think its fine in shortOption as it can parse multiple arguments
|
||||
- [X] argparser: support optional arguments, if acceptvalue fails and arg is optional, increment index and try again
|
||||
- [X] argparser: receives empty parameters (at least arguments), decide what to do with them. $ uname bla => uname: extra operand ‘bla’
|
||||
- [X] argparser: dont use std::regex, just loop through characters and bail if unexpected
|
||||
- [ ] argparser: support long option abbreviations, if they are not ambiguous
|
||||
- [ ] argparser: support for single - long options
|
||||
- [ ] argparser: check and set $value to $next before the if spaghetti to simplify, at least in longOption
|
||||
Config files can be pushed from the working directory to the system like so:
|
||||
|
||||
- [X] system: add piping functionality, print result of previous command to stdin before execvp() ?
|
||||
- [ ] system: output/error/status getter, automatically call exec if workload
|
||||
- [ ] system: output/error getter, cut off last character if its "\n", as std::string already handles trailing \n
|
||||
- [X] system: test with file descriptors captured in std::system
|
||||
- [ ] system: write test cases
|
||||
- [ ] system: fix bug: splitting on space needs to be escapable, ex: '\ ' or ' ' or " ", needs a lexer
|
||||
- [ ] system: test if exec() can return a reference?
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC shell-script
|
||||
$ manafiles -Fs
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
- [X] dotfile: add loop index to forEachDotfile
|
||||
- [ ] dotfile: convert excludePaths and system directories matching to regex
|
||||
- [ ] dotfile: add excludePaths (ignore file) config file functionality

|
||||
https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/manual/stow.html#Types-And-Syntax-Of-Ignore-Lists
|
||||
- [ ] dotfile: add system directories config file functionality
|
||||
When pushing files to the system, manafiles recognizes special blocks and comments
|
||||
or uncomments them depending on the machine's configuration. Such a block looks
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC shell-script
|
||||
# >>> distro=arch hostname=arch-desktop user=anon
|
||||
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"
|
||||
# <<<
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
This block uses all of the supported configurations, ~distro~, ~hostname~ and
|
||||
~user~. These can be used in any combination and order.
|
||||
|
||||
If *all* of the given configurations match, manafiles will make sure that the
|
||||
contents of the block are uncommented. If *any* of them do *not* match, then
|
||||
manafiles will make sure that the contents of the block are commented.
|
||||
|
||||
*** COMMENT System config files
|
||||
*** COMMENT Exclude paths
