po - The Future of po-util: Refactored, Modular, and Cross-Compatible
Why?
When I first created po-util, it was a single script, po-util.sh
, that could be "installed" on Mac and Linux.
It soon became very cumbersome, and I chose to split po-util into two repositories, po-util and homebrew-po.
Maintaining the two repositories was tedious, as I had to do double the work every time I wanted to release a feature or make a fix.
My solution was to reunite the Mac and Linux versions back into a single repository, breaking the script into several modular files.
┌── bin/po
├── share/po-common
├── share/po-linux
└── share/po-mac
-
po
is the main file, and the script that gets executed when a user runspo
at the command line. -
po-common
is sourced bypo
, and contains all OS independent functions. -
po-linux
andpo-mac
contain the OS dependent settings and functions.
Regardless of OS:
-
po
is installed at/usr/local/bin/po
-
po-common
is installed at/usr/local/share/po-common
On Linux:
-
po-linux
is installed at/usr/local/share/po-linux
On Mac:
-
po-mac
is installed at/usr/local/share/po-mac
Install:
Universal Installer:
$ bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nrobinson2000/po/master/install)
Caveats:
None at the moment. Just make sure to use the Universal Installer.
FAQ:
Is this really the future of po-util?
Yes. All future development will be on po. The legacy po-util repositories will remain supported, but future work will be focused on po.
