cdargs-1.35-7.fc15.i686.rpm

COMPILATION
===========
Installation is easy, do:

$ configure
$ make

then become root and do:

# make install-strip

If you're not content with the displayed width of the description you
might want to change cdargs.cc. Look for the lines
# define DESCRIPTION_MAXLENGTH 18
# define DESCRIPTION_BROWSELENGTH 8
and change the numbers according to your taste.

CREATE SHELL FUNCTION(S)
========================
For Versions 1.19 And Newer (bash)
----------------------------------
Simply copy the file contrib/cdargs-bash.sh somewhere into your $PATH
and put a line like
source cdargs-bash.sh
in your ~/.bashrc. This loads some very useful functions into your shell.
 (Please note that these functions could be improved but I don't have
 enough bash knowledge for that.)

For Versions 1.20 And Newer (tcsh)
----------------------------------
Copy the file contrib/cdargs-tcsh.csh to a place that you like and
source it from your ~/.cshrc (or ~/.tcsh ?).
Please note that I don't know much about tcsh (im bashi-ish) and thus
this might be quite quirky... Any help appreciated in making the tcsh
expansion as powerfull as Dan's bash functions.

For Older Versions 
------------------
Put a line like the following into your shell startup-script
(.profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, whatever) to create a shell function:

function cv () { cdargs "$1" && cd "`cat "$HOME/.cdargsresult"`" }

If you want to you can remove the file in your homedirectory after successfully 
using cdargs:

function cv () { cdargs "$1" && cd "`cat "$HOME/.cdargsresult"`" && rm -f "$HOME/.cdargsresult" }

or you can echo the directory you changed to:

function cv () { cdargs "$1" && cd "`cat "$HOME/.cdargsresult"`" && pwd ; }

Another thing you might find useful is an alias for adding paths:
function ca () { cdargs --add="$1" ; }
function capwd () { cdargs --add=":$1:"`pwd` ; }


(Note that the '&&' is just possible since version 1.11 which 
introduced a reasonable return code to cdargs. Both version should work.)

WRAPPING
========
If you do not like the cursor wrapping around on the top and the
bottom of the list, start cdargs with the additional option --nowrap:

Example:
function cb () { cdargs --nowrap "$1" && cd `cat $HOME/.cdargsresult` ; }


MORE HELP
=========
For more information try:

$ configure --help
$ cdargs --help
or press 'H' or '?' while running cdargs. 

Additionally since version 1.16 cdargs comes with a manpage.

GNU/X Emacs
===========
Since version 1.24 there is a cdargs.el which you just put somewhere
where Emacs can find it (see variable load-path) and the require it in
your personal init file (may be one of ~/.emacs, ~/.xemacs/init.el
~/.xemacs/my/config/personal.el or something else):
(require 'cdargs)

Creating an RPM (thanks Oron!)
------------------------------

First way (assuming all directories relative to /usr/src/redhat):
   - Put the .spec file in the SPECS directories
   - Put the tar.gz file in the SOURCES directory
   - From the SPECS directory run:
        rpm -bb cdargs.spec # to build only binary RPM
        rpm -bs cdargs.spec # to build only source RPM
        rpm -ba cdargs.spec # to build both
Second way (assuming the tar.gz file contains .spec file):
   - Simply run:
        rpm -ta cdargs-<version>.tar.gz

The resulting binary RPM will be below the RPMS directory (e.g:
RPMS/i386).

Signing The Tarball
-------------------
The whole thing, including the tarball:
gpg -a --sign cdargs-<version>.tar.gz 

Just the signature:
gpg -ab --default-key 0BA0A295 --sign cdargs-<version>.tar.gz
