Hacking

Largely notes to myself.

  1. Copy the file functions.py to fubar.py

  2. Edit the file fubar.py. In the function myjson() change jsonfile = 'yjl-sysusers.json' to jsonfile = 'fubar.json'

  3. Further edit fubar.py. In the function main() change if myuid != 0: to if myuid == 0:

  4. Whatever JSON file you want to work with, copy it to fubar.json

You can test the integrity of the JSON via:

python3 fubar.py --bootstrap

You can test what it does when given arguments by:

python3 fubar.py [options] somename

When done hacking, remember to run pylint on fubar.py and fix what is reasonable, integrate any changes into functions.py (using the diff command is useful) other than Steps 2 and 3 above, and if applicable, merge any JSON changes.

New Version Notes

Mostly notes to myself. I have poor short term memory.

Before pull request merging development into main:

  1. Make sure both man pages reflect any changes.

  2. Make sure to update Modified: date in both man pages (line 6).

  3. Make sure to update the Month, year, and version in both man pages (.TH line 10)

  4. run the script make-docs.sh (inside the docs dir) to regenerate the markdown pages.

  5. Hand edit the resulting Markdown pages so they look good in both a console as plain text, and in github markdown web viewer.

  6. Make sure version is correct in yjl-sysusers.spec file (the %global gitv in first line)

  7. Make sure version is correct in README.md

  8. Merge into master branch

  9. create new tagged release v followed by version.
