Hi there hackers, Some time ago, Terry proposed the creation of a graphical rc.conf editing tool. While the idea of mimicing the rededit program did not appeal much, I find it interesting to have a graphical tool for rc.conf management, specially for people who has just started using FreeBSD.
So what I'm presenting here is the bare bones skeleton of the tool I'm
working on, so you can taste what it will look like when I finish it.
What works now:
- /etc/defaults/rc.conf parsing
- GTK UI creation for both booleans and strings
- Passes efence test, so no funny pointers in there.
TODO:
- parse and merge /etc/rc.conf
- Write callbacks
I'm totally open to feedback and suggestions, I'm specially interested
in knowing what the community feeling about this tool is, is it useful
or do you thing is a waste of time to code such tool? What about going
one step further and add something like the admin tool in Solaris?
To compile the code just untargz and type make. You need gtk12 port
installed. The window might take a few seconds to create the widgets,
I'm working on it currently.
Thanks in advance,
