It doesnt work yet, but it will. still trying to learn how parsedfile works and how much I can push its boundaries. It will update this README when its ready for consumption. + + +KNOWN ISSUES/TODO + + 1. No support for parsing multi-line files (with \). I may add this in the next revision. + 2. Forced to use comments to specify NAMEVARS. This means that there is no + way to determine if an added line is the same as an existing line. + 3. Dependencies are only aplied between records at creation time. It is not possible to insert a new record before an existing one. There is probably a good way to fix this, but I need more time to look into it. + 4. A userspec record that starts with Defaults will be parsed as a default. (this may not be possible) + 5. I still need to verify combinations of properties that work together and throw exceptions for mismatches. + 6. I can probably set up autorequires on aliases in User Spec line, but this order would only be followed if both records were created. + + 7. Performance - seems to be runing to_line way too many times, also flushing way too often + +COMMENT NAMEVARS: + +I have chosen (or been forced to) implement NAMEVARS using comments. This adds a ton of complexity to the code and its usage. This also means that identical lines will be allowed provided that they have the same namevar. + +I have to do this dirty pre-line stuff for user_spec. + I had considered requiring uniqueness for the user-spec + this does when considering that an alias can also be a user spec user, this violates uniqueness. + -- cgit v1.2.3
