Hi all,
I wrote up a mechanism for consolidating all the different options in the ~/.yt/config file into a single section, which should make everything much more straightforward. I've made a pass at having the config module auto-upgrade, but I was hoping to have a couple people test this -- specifically, it'd be great if Britton, Dave, Jeff and Stephen (people I know who've used the config file in fun and/or fancy ways in the past, or whose code I think touches the config file in a couple places) could test it.
I've attached a bundle of changesets, which include the auto-upgrader and modifications to make it use a single config section. When it auto-upgrades, it will move ~/.yt/config to ~/.yt/config.old. If you get a chance, I would appreciate running yt with this, maybe on Kraken or some pathologically weird location, maybe with your own custom ~/.yt/config, or whatever. Any bugs or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It'll only auto-convert *once*, so feel free to test by copying ~/.yt/config.old back to ~/.yt/config to re-run the upgrade process.
Once this can be applied, instead of having ill-defined [yt], [lagos], [raven], etc sections in the config file, there'll only be the single section [yt] where everything will go.
Thanks for any feedback.
