Description Michael G. Hansen 2010-01-18 21:20:36 UTC
Version:           1.11 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It would be nice if there were an 'include' option for the configuration to include other configuration files.

My use case: I have kdesvn-build configuration files for KDE 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and trunk, where there are different options for qt-copy, source-dir and so on. But I also have some applications from extragear (digikam, kipi-plugins) that I want to build for all versions. Right now I have to add them to each configuration file. With an include option, I could write one file for each KDE version, but have a common one for all the extragear applications.

Add "include" option for config file reading.

Based on a recommendation from Michael Hansen, this commit adds the
ability to include other files from the rc file used for kdesrc-build.

Tilde-expansion is supported on the filename, but only of the ~/foo
variety (not ~user/foo).

It works by essentially intercepting the input stream as necessary, so
unfortunately things like a common "global" followed by different
"global" sections doesn't work (although let me know if that's needed,
it wouldn't be too hard).

On the other hand each rc-file would be able to include the global
options that are common.

To use, simply use "include /path/to/file-to-include" as a single line
in your config file. Leading spaces are supported, but the remainder of
the file after the "include" and all whitespace immediately following
"include" is assumed to be the filename, so don't leave trailing spaces.

Revert "Add "include" option for config file reading."

This reverts commit 594f40b413c0c0d1e2688be6386d24113367a17b.

Although it works for me, I've received reports that it doesn't for
others so until I figure it out I'll simply revert and work on it when I
get a chance.

Add "include" option for config file (try 2).

I actually did some testing of my last attempt at this, but I'm not sure
in retrospect how kdesrc-build even got something coherent from my first
patch given that I forgot to actually assign the output of the various
read line functions to $_ (which had previously been automatically
done), or how I passed the wrong object type to read_line (now
readLogicalLine).

I've increased the testing performed on the patch and it should actually
work this time. For serious.
