[Vimcdoc-translate] installer for Linux/UN*X

[wandys <al...@so...>]

Hi, all


Somebody on Linuxforum has requested a Linux/UN*X installer for our
translated doc.

I just wrote one. (tested on FreeBSD-4.8R)

------------------------------8<---------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

VIM_PATH=`ls -d /usr/share/vim/vim* 2>/dev/null`
if [ $? = 1 ]; then
        VIM_PATH=`ls -d /usr/local/share/vim/vim* 2>/dev/null`
        if [ $? = 1 ]; then
                echo 'Error: No vim found installed on this system'
                exit 1
        fi
fi

case $1 in
  install)
        if [ ! -d $VIM_PATH/doc.bk ]; then
                mkdir $VIM_PATH/doc.bk
                cp $VIM_PATH/doc/* $VIM_PATH/doc.bk
        fi
        cp doc/*.txt $VIM_PATH/doc
        ;;
  uninstall)
        mv $VIM_PATH/doc.bk/* $VIM_PATH/doc
        rmdir $VIM_PATH/doc.bk
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {install|unstall}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

As you can see, this script is pretty simple.  It presumes vim is
installed with the prefix '/usr' or '/usr/local/' and only one version
of vim is installed. (I think this is the most common case)

I named it as 'vimcdoc.sh' and put it under the top dir 'vimcdoc-xxxx/'

to install or upgrade:
# cd vimcdoc-xxx
# ./vimcdoc install

to uninstall:
# cd vimcdoc-xxx
# ./vimcdoc uninstall


If you think it's okay, i'm proposing a 'cvs add' to the 'data/'
dir (with the 'INSTALL' file updated accordingly).  And if possible, add
it to new release tarballs.


The script above is meant to make a system-wide installation.

There's also another per-user-specific way to install vimcdoc.  That is
simply put all *.txt files into '~/.vim/doc/'.  (this method may be
safer and more stable but only effective for one user at one
installation)


BTW, to lang2, i also wrote a new Makefile for '.txt -> .html', hoping
it's useful for updating web pages. 
I committed it into the '$CVSROOT/VCD/VCD/htdocs/doc' directory for VCD
site.  I think you may copy and change it to fix your need at
vimcdoc.sf.net.
