Hello list, Id like to present you etc-proposals and am interested in your opinion.
For gentoo-users, who like the commandline, etc-proposals is a gentoo configuration file updater, that, unlike etc-update and dispatch-conf, provides a shell with tabcompletion and allows updating of selected fileparts. Features: * lean dependancies (only portage and readline, no diff, no rcs, nothing else) * shell-like UI with tabcompletion and history * can be used just like dispatch-conf, so you dont need to learn anything new (however, you might actually like the additional features) * the ability to accept certain changes to a file, while dismissing others * dynamical recalculation of changes (i.e. if on update proposes to change a line and is accepted, the user wont be asked again, if a second update proposes the same) * the ability to accept/dismiss all changes to a file/dir * the ability to review decisions before they are merged * showing changes in a change/proposal/file/dir/all * the ability to undo decisions, if they are not yet merged into the filesystem * undo a change/proposal/file/dir * goto <change>, completely with tabcompletion * merging of changes to the configuration files is not done on a file-by-file basis, but can be triggered at any time. This allows the user to review his changes. * provides the ability to edit a proposed changes, opening the editor of choice at the changed lines (this is currently supported in nano, emacs and vi) * keeps decisions on proposed changes, even if the tool is stopped * online help from the shell * clean packaging using distutils - an ebuild is provided too Homepage: http://michaelsen.kicks-ass.net/Members/bjoern/etcproposals/ Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3699434.html#3699434 Hoping for some good feedback, Björn -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
