Default value for RALSH_DATA_DIR

[Nelo-Thara Wallus]

Morning everybody,

after the announcement on puppet-dev I became curious and mocked an
ebuild[1] to have it available to play around with, however I've noticed
that there doesn't seem to be a default path for RALSH_DATA_DIR yet, to
place the data in after installation (on the other hand I haven't dug
into the code yet).

Is there a default planned for the near future?

For the moment I'm installing the data to /usr/share/libral/data, in
case another gentoonian wants to have a go with the ebuild.

Cheers,
Nelo

That's awesome !

There is a default planned for that, and /usr/share/libral/data or even /usr/share/libral sounds like the best place for this. The main issue is that I haven't taken the time to go figure out the best way to configure that at build time. For now you are stuck with setting an environment variable.

Come to think of it, would passing it into cmake as "cmake .. -DLIBRAL_DATA_DIR=/usr/share/libral" work for you ?

cheers,

David

Hi David,

sure, that'd be sufficient, I'll update the ebuild accordingly.

However I'd still prefer to use the data subdir, that way the
possibility for additional datadirs e.g. by distribution.

Those could be put together during build time, but that's up to you.

Cheers,
Nelo

Great ! I'll let you know when I've wrestled cmake into shape (might be a couple of days)

Hi Nelo,

I just finished making the default data dir configurable at build time. As of commit a3f54f2a, when you build with "cmake -DRALSH_DATA_DIR=<some_dir> ..." that directory now becomes the default directory to look for providers. If you don't do anything, it defaults to /usr/share/libral/data

It's now also possible to pass in additional directories with 'ralsh --include <dir> ...'.

The precompiled tarball on the website has been updated, too.

Let me know if you run into trouble with any of this,

David

Hi David,

Cheers,
