Release 1-2 of the mknew bash library provides the following new capabilities. 1. A "textfile" capability is added to allow deployment of textfiles to arbitrary destinations. This capability adds support for the deployment of system configuration and localization files. For example, resolv.conf is usually kept in /etc. The "textfile" capability allows this file to be managed and edited in a user's directory tree and copied to the /etc directory using the "mk text" command. 2. A foreach1 function has been added to mklib that permits the application of a single argument function to a list of items. This version of mknew is useful for deploying many different types of files using a consistent activity pattern. Once mknew is installed, create an "mkd" file in the source file directory, specifying the primary source file types. To deploy files simply type "mk all" at the shell prompt.
