Hello,
I just discovered (id est, received) autogen and autoopts in the GNU
Announcements mailing list. It seems to be a very nice project.
I would like to have easier steps to choose config options for used
programs, since some of them eventually become critical or having
frequent use.
I really wanted to see a working concept. But I have not reached or
found this. What seems to be aimed at that idea is the "quick start
guide", pointed in
https://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/autoopts.html
and located here
https://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/manual/html_node/Quick-Start.html#Quick-Start
I want all these (currently) 6 pages in a single HTML page - an option I
have seen in many other GNU projects' documentation.
I would also like to have the option to read in a single page other
parts of things we browse in https://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/ .
Clicking the links, using back and forward browsers option, even with
keyboard shortcuts, is not so good - in my opinion, needs and habits or
reading things.
=======================
Now, the second part of this message.
Is autoopts a good choice for parts of bashrc? I like Bash very much,
except for its history serious bug - or, at least, lack of related
options I can understand and use. As years go passing, my bashrc became
rather big and fairly complex. Some things are not actually options, of
course (shell functions, for example), but most of what I have in Bash
are options of subsets of a complex and hard to find documentation big
set (like things we may use in PS1). I have similar bashrcs in different
computers, but without known or controlled differences or adjustments.
Is autoopts a good option for having a base bashrc for all of them? A
"base bashrc" that I would keep as the central part of all bashrcs I
have around - and potentially will be the best and updated starting
point for a new bashrc, for a new computer I start using. And may also
be an easier path to safely update all my bashrcs with something new I
just created in one computer, but makes sense to have it in all the
Bashrcs (or, at least, most of them).
Regards
