1*pi_spec.txt* For Vim version 7.3. Last change: 2006 Apr 24 2 3by Gustavo Niemeyer ~ 4 5This is a filetype plugin to work with rpm spec files. 6 7Currently, this Vim plugin allows you to easily update the %changelog 8section in RPM spec files. It will even create a section for you if it 9doesn't exist yet. If you've already inserted an entry today, it will 10give you the opportunity to just add a new item in today's entry. If you 11don't provide a format string (|spec_chglog_format|), it'll ask you an 12email address and build a format string by itself. 13 141. How to use it |spec-how-to-use-it| 152. Customizing |spec-customizing| 16 17============================================================================== 181. How to use it *spec-how-to-use-it* 19 20The spec_chglog plugin provides a map like the following: 21 22 :map <buffer> <LocalLeader>c <Plug>SpecChangelog 23 24It means that you may run the plugin inside a spec file by pressing 25your maplocalleader key (default is '\') plus 'c'. If you do not have 26|spec_chglog_format| set, the plugin will ask you for an email address 27to use in this edit session. 28 29Every time you run the plugin, it will check to see if the last entry in the 30changelog has been written today and by you. If the entry matches, it will 31just insert a new changelog item, otherwise it will create a new changelog 32entry. If you are running with |spec_chglog_release_info| enabled, it will 33also check if the name, version and release matches. The plugin is smart 34enough to ask you if it should update the package release, if you have not 35done so. 36 37Setting a map *spec-setting-a-map* 38------------- 39 40As you should know, you can easily set a map to access any Vim command (or 41anything, for that matter). If you don't like the default map of 42<LocalLeader>c, you may just set up your own key. The following line 43shows you how you could do this in your .vimrc file, mapping the plugin to 44the <F5> key: 45 46 au FileType spec map <buffer> <F5> <Plug>SpecChangelog 47 48Note: the plugin will respect your desire to change the default mapping 49 and won't set it. 50 51This command will add a map only in the spec file buffers. 52 53 54============================================================================== 552. Customizing *spec-customizing* 56 57The format string *spec_chglog_format* 58----------------- 59 60You can easily customize how your spec file entry will look like. To do 61this just set the variable "spec_chglog_format" in your .vimrc file like 62this: > 63 64 let spec_chglog_format = "%a %b %d %Y My Name <my@email.com>" 65 66Note that "%a %b %d %Y" is the most used time format. If you don't provide 67a format string, when you run the SpecChangelog command for the first 68time, it will ask you an email address and build the |spec_chglog_format| 69variable for you. This way, you will only need to provide your email 70address once. 71 72To discover which format options you can use, take a look at the strftime() 73function man page. 74 75Where to insert new items *spec_chglog_prepend* 76------------------------- 77 78The plugin will usually insert new %changelog entry items (note that it's 79not the entry itself) after the existing ones. If you set the 80spec_chglog_prepend variable > 81 82 let spec_chglog_prepend = 1 83 84it will insert new items before the existing ones. 85 86Inserting release info *spec_chglog_release_info* 87---------------------- 88 89If you want, the plugin may automatically insert release information 90on each changelog entry. One advantage of turning this feature on is 91that it may control if the release has been updated after the last 92change in the package or not. If you have not updated the package 93version or release, it will ask you if it should update the package 94release for you. To turn this feature on, just insert the following 95code in your .vimrc: > 96 97 let spec_chglog_release_info = 1 98 99Then, the first item in your changelog entry will be something like: > 100 101 + name-1.0-1cl 102 103If you don't like the release updating feature and don't want to answer 104"No" each time it detects an old release, you may disable it with > 105 106 let spec_chglog_never_increase_release = 1 107 108 109Good luck!! 110 111vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:norl: 112
