|
|
|
|
<p>Configuration directories consist in files each containing
|
|
a list of directives without any enclosing <code>(:source-registry ...)</code> form.
|
|
The files will be sorted by namestring as if by <code>string<</code> and
|
|
the lists of directives of these files with be concatenated in order.
|
|
An implicit <code>:inherit-configuration</code> will be included
|
|
at the <em>end</em> of the list.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>System-wide or per-user Common Lisp software distributions
|
|
such as Debian packages or some future version of <code>clbuild</code>
|
|
may then include files such as
|
|
<samp>/etc/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d/10-foo.conf</samp> or
|
|
<samp>~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d/10-foo.conf</samp>
|
|
to easily and modularly register configuration information
|
|
about software being distributed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The convention is that, for sorting purposes,
|
|
the names of files in such a directory begin with two digits
|
|
that determine the order in which these entries will be read.
|
|
Also, the type of these files must be <samp>.conf</samp>,
|
|
which not only simplifies the implementation by allowing
|
|
for more portable techniques in finding those files,
|
|
but also makes it trivial to disable a file, by renaming it to a different file type.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Directories may be included by specifying a directory pathname
|
|
or namestring in an <code>:include</code> directive, e.g.:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example"> (:include "/foo/bar/")
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hence, to achieve the same effect as
|
|
my example <samp>~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf</samp> above,
|
|
I could simply create a file
|
|
<samp>~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d/33-home-fare-cl.conf</samp>
|
|
alone in its directory with the following contents:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">(:tree "/home/fare/cl/")
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul class="section-toc">
|
|
<li><a href="The-here-directive.html" accesskey="1">The :here directive</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
