From: rubikitch@... Date: 2005-10-07T19:40:45+09:00 Subject: [ANN] rctool-1.0.0 Hi, == Abstract RCtool is a small tool which makes/updates rcfiles automatically. There is a rcfile in software each. For example, it is .zshrc in zsh, .emacs in Emacs and so on. Please think about the scene which introduces a new EmacsLisp program into Emacs. You copy a .el file in the directory which is in load-path. You have to write setting in .emacs last. I think that update of .emacs is easy if you introduce it once. However, please imagine a scene upgrading an EmacsLisp program. When the EmacsLisp cord is largely modified, and setting did not have compatibility either, a user must modify .emacs by hand one by one. Changing .emacs by hand is boring and error-prone; changing .emacs automatically without any notification is extremely rude. RCtool takes over this troublesome work. RCtool does the following work separately. * RCtool makes the rcfiles based in contents of "the definition script", and modified one part of rcfiles in a backup directory. * RCtool shows the difference between the original and the modified if you need it. * RCtool overwrites with rcfiles last. A user understands which part changed clearly. A developer modifies the definition script and can offer appropriate rcfiles to a user. It is available at http://www.rubyist.net/~rubikitch/computer/rctool/index.en.html === Download / Untar Please execute the following commands. ruby -ropen-uri -e 'URI("http://www.rubyist.net/~rubikitch/archive/rctool-1.0.0.tar.gz").read.display' | tar xzvf - When you failed, please download it from the next link. * (()) === How to Incorporate RCtool RCtool is not a thing to use alone in a property of a tool. It is incorporated in a project. Therefore there is not "an installer" of RCtool. Please just copy rctool.rb in a directory of your project. cp rctool-1.0.0/rctool.rb your-project-dir -- rubikitch http://www.rubyist.net/~rubikitch/index.en.html
