Package: mr Version: 1.14 Severity: wishlist I keep my mrconfig snippets in ~/.config/mr/config.d, which is machine-dependent.
I also use vcsh, so each of the snippets in said directory is of the
format
[$HOME/.config/vcsh/repo.d/…]
…
This is a lot of redundancy that will bite me should I ever move.
I have tried to consolidate mr and vcsh into one repository, in the
hope to be able to make use of relative references (chain to
$HOME/.config/vcsh/.mrconfig, include config.d/*), but include
commands are executed in $PWD, not $MR_REPO. Also, $MR_REPO is not
set in the context of includes in chained .mrconfig files.
I would appreciate any of the following solutions:
1. a new sections [ENV] or [VARS], in which I can define variables
available subsequently. Unfortunately, a line like
lib = export FOO=bar
is not guaranteed to execute before the other stanzas are
loaded.
Alternatively, any unknown parameters in [DEFAULT] could be
exported as variables.
2. export MR_REPO into the context in which include commands in
chained .mrconfig files are executed, e.g.
[path/to/repo]
chain = true
…
[DEFAULT]
include = $MR_REPO/bar
would include 'path/to/repo/bar'. At the moment, $MR_REPO is
empty when path/to/repo/.mrconfig is run.
3. chdir() to the directory to which mr is chaining, before
sourcing the .mrconfig file.
Thanks,
