Might as well post a sample module... This one's the kernel symlink
manager thingie, which I wrote mainly as a test / demo thing but it can
be vaguely useful too:
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/*checkout*/eclectic/trunk/modules/kernel.eclectic
Note the ebuild-like format that should be nice and easy for everyone to
get their heads around.
So what's this like from a user perspective?
ciaranm@snowdrop ~ 0 2.30 $ eclectic kernel
Usage: eclectic kernel <action> <options>
Standard actions:
help Display help text
usage Display usage information
version Display version information
Extra actions:
list List available kernel symlink targets
set Set a new kernel symlink target
show Show the current kernel symlink
ciaranm@snowdrop ~ 0 2.30 $ eclectic kernel show
Current kernel symlink:
linux-2.6.12-rc1
ciaranm@snowdrop ~ 0 2.10 $ eclectic kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.10
[2] linux-2.6.11
[3] linux-2.6.11-rc5
[4] linux-2.6.12-rc1
ciaranm@snowdrop ~ 0 2.01 $ sudo eclectic kernel set 1
ciaranm@snowdrop ~ 0 2.01 $ eclectic kernel show
Current kernel symlink:
linux-2.6.10
It's all in colour, of course.
But wait, it gets sneakier. Say we install a kernel-config symlink to
eclectic. Then this will also work:
ciaranm@snowdrop ~ 0 1.50 $ kernel-config list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.10
[2] linux-2.6.11
[3] linux-2.6.11-rc5
[4] linux-2.6.12-rc1
I added this sneaky little hack in that checks the binary name, and if
it's foo-config or foo-update, it treats it as eclectic foo [...]. So
you don't even get to whine about the stupid name :)
By the way, this could also implement GLEP 24 (consistent tool naming).
See, if you run eclectic with no arguments:
ciaranm@snowdrop ~ 0 1.36 $ eclectic
Usage: eclectic <module name> <options>
Built-in modules:
help Display a help message
list-modules Find and display available modules
usage Display a usage message
version Display version information
Extra modules:
bashcomp Manage contributed bash-completion scripts
blas Manage installed BLAS implementations.
kernel Manage the /usr/src/linux symlink
lapack Manage installed LAPACK implementations.
mailer Manage the mailwrapper profiles in /etc/mail
profile Manage the /etc/make.profile symlink

*shrug* it's probably full of bugs still.

I'm staying out of this one...
Oh, we have an IRC channel if you have development questions. You can
figure out the name easily enough :)
