Hi,
There has been some progress around vdrctl.

vdrctl

What I like to see in the future is a tool vdrctl which will add/remove
those symlinks or list the available or
actived plugins etc. I would like to only specify an API for this tool, so
every distribution can develop its own tool.
Of course there can be a reference implementation like a simple shell-, Perl-
or Python-script.
In the following ARGSDIR is the configured conf.d path in your Make.config
(or read by pkg-config).
AVAILDIR is ARGSDIR/../conf.avail if not another directory is given.
Filenames are the names of the files without their directory.
Usage:
vdrctl [global options] command [command options]
Global options:
--argsdir=directory
read files from directory instead of ARGSDIR
--availdir=directory
read files from directory instead of ARGSDIR/../conf.avail
Commands:
list
(without options)
print a sorted list of all configuration files from AVAILDIR
--enabled
print a sorted list of all configuration files from ARGSDIR
--disabled
print a sorted list of all configuration files from AVAILDIR which are not
symlinked to ARGSDIR
enable filename
create a symlink in ARGSDIR pointing to the file in AVAILDIR
disable filename
remove the symlink in ARGSDIR
edit filename
start an editor so the user can add/remove options to the file in AVAILDIR
Added a new command:
status
print a list of all available configuration files and if it's enabled
(symlinked),
disabled (no symlink in ARGSDIR) or static (regular file in ARGSDIR).
A reference implementation has been started on github:
https://github.com/CReimer/vdrctl
For the next vdr developer release I will send a patch so it will possible to
print the commandline help of a single
plugin instead of having the help of vdr and the given plugin. And maybe the
help will have a (selectable) custom
format, so it can be directly used in a conf-file. In the extended_edit-branch
this help is embedded into the conf-file
when invoking vdrctl edit (and is removed before saving it, just like git or
mercurial are doing it with commit messages).
A kind of useful tool, if you have made the work and split all the parameters
across some files.
Stay tuned...
Lars.
