Red Loop Configuration Manager 
Version: 0.0.6
Author: Lars Thomas Denstad <larsde@redloop.com>
Short: Utility for managing configurations.
Replaces: confman-0.0.5.tgz

Red Loop Configuration Manager 'confman' is not yet feature complete.

Current state:
==============

confman allows you to manage your configuration. Most missing features
are "advanced" features, and are not necessary for normal
operation. You can easily and comfortably start using Red Loop confman
with your Amiga SDK application right now, it already makes
configuring your app easier. 

Check the Makefile in this archive for example of use; once confman is
installed, it sets up a configuration called "local_machine" derived
from "factory".

It then creates a subconfiguration called "beginner", to make the
application easier to use after install.

It then lists out the current confman-configuration.

If you are an application developer who are tired of parsing
configuration files, confman currently works as described on the Red
Loop Configuration Manager homepage;
http://www.redloop.com/larsde/software/red_loop_confman.php

End user and developer tutorials coming up shortly.

Bugfixes from 0.0.5:
====================

Passing --config to application using confman now only needs relative
configuration value:

Previous: myapp --config myvendor/myapp/myconfig/mysubconfig

Now:      myapp --config myconfig/mysubconfig

Bugfixes from 0.0.3:
====================

'-' and '*' now shows up correctly in the list, based on whether or
not the key is defined at this level.

--extends now checks that you are indeed trying to extend an existing
configuration.

Bugfixes from 0.0.2:
====================

Option parsing closer to the one described by --help.

Current limitations:

When adding multiple keys at the same time, confman currently needs
the keys and values on the following format:

confman -t type -a key1=value1 key2=value2 vendor/app

If you insert it like this it blows up:

confman -a key1=value1 key2=value2 -t type vendor/app

This is fine, however:

confman -a key1=value2 -t type key2=value2 vendor/app

Also the current CLI is limited to adding keys of the same type pr
executed line. This is a limitation that I'm prepared to live
with. What about you?

Bugfixes from 0.0.1:
====================

- Adding strings to configuration now works.

New features:

Added size to configuration entries. Adding and displaying the type
"data" now works.


Installation instructions:
==========================

$ make install

Usage:

$ confman --help | less
