Summary: confmeld needs docs, options, etc.
Product: Sorcery
Version: 1.14.x
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: stage install
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: jblosser-smgl AT firinn.org


At minimum, it needs a man page that just explains what it does. Right now it
has an internal help() function but no way to call it.

It might be good if cast at the end would suggest running confmeld if it can
tell that it deferred installing some config files. That would get it in
front
of people who have no idea it's there and on running it they can probably
figure
out what it does.

Beyond that, args to list spells or files that need merging, or to merge
individual spells or files would be good. Options to brute force a particular
behaviour per invocation would be nice to have. eg 'confmeld --update yes
bash'
to merge all available configs from the last bash update and not prompt, just
overwrite the existing things with the udpates. Similar UI to dispel's
dependency stuff.
