Re: [Po4a-devel]Config files enhancement

Hello, Here is an update of the patch. It now deals with module aliases, with the ability to set global option for this alias, or options for a language: [po4a_alias:test] man opt="-k 0" opt_fr="-o debug -L ISO-8859-1" Options can also be specified in a [type:...] line. [type:test] chsh.1 fr:chsh.1.fr opt_fr:"-L UTF-8" Limitations/known bugs: * I don't know how options are overwritten. (What should happen when the user specify -k 0 on the command line, with -k 10 for the alias, -k 20 for the alias with lang=fr, -k 30 as the file option, and -k 40 as the file option for lang=fr?) * options have to be the last parameters on the line (this limitation could be removed quite easily) * it is not possible to specify the a value containing a space as the parameter for a module option. For example, users could use -o "foo=bar baz" on the command line. This wont be possible with this implementation. Any idea on how to fix this is welcome. I'm considering committing it Saturday for the next release if you don't stop me before. It should be safe when options are not used, but options did not get a lot of testing (and it has a great chance to have some bugs). Maybe it will be an hidden/undocumented feature. The patch mostly consists in: * using an hash for the options (and a sub-hash for options passed to the modules (-v, -d, -o). * a function to fill this hash * a function to separate * aliases handling (an hash contains for each alias, the target module, and the hash of options for this module) Kind Regards -- Nicolas
