    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv11197

    Added Files:
    install-xtrn.js
    Log Message:
    A new script for install external programs (doors, events, editors). The script itself contains the current documentation for developers to make use
    of it and make it super easy for sysops to install their programs into their Synchronet systems.

    exec install-xtrn.js 1.1 1.2
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv30971

    Modified Files:
    install-xtrn.js
    Log Message:
    Now supports a -overwrite cmdline option which can be used to allow the overwrite of existing items (i.e. programs with the same internal code).
    Add support for [exec:<file>.js] sections: for executing another JavaScript files as part of the install.
    Add support for [eval:string] sections: for evaluating a JavaScript expression as part of an install.
    Add support for an optional "prompt" key for each item. If set to a string, overrides the default confirmation prompt text. If set to false, disables
    the confirmation prompt for that item.

    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv31330

    Modified Files:
    install-xtrn.js
    Log Message:
    Use the JS-standard method of passing a variable number of arguments to a function (using function.apply()) rather than depending on the js.exec() array-args-expansion feature I recently added and then just removed.

    exec install-xtrn.js 1.3 1.4
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv26240

    Modified Files:
    install-xtrn.js
    Log Message:
    Support the new "exec" section syntax (arguments in the section).
    Support the new "-auto" command-line option to automatically scan xtrn/* for uninstalled install-xtrn.ini files.
    I intend to have this a stock Operater extenral program so the sysop can just cvs-update or download an extract to extern and then run the external program (with the -auto option) to automatically find and install the program.

    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv26119

    Modified Files:
    install-xtrn.js
    Log Message:
    Support "requires_service" key which specifies the name of a service (e.g. "JSON") that must be installed and enabled for the external program to be installed. This is inteded for use by the various .js "doors" that rely on json-service.js to function. If the specified service isn't installed and enabled, the install won't continue.

    exec install-xtrn.js 1.5 1.6
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv27560

    Modified Files:
    install-xtrn.js
    Log Message:
    Support a root-level "info" key which describes the over-all program/package being installed (free-form text, up to 79 chars for pretty-print).
    Remove the "requires_service" key, replaced with:
    Add ability to install/update services.
    Add ability to add/update sections in .ini files with eval()'d key values.
    This allows the json-service dependant scripts to (mostly) be installable
    under all scenarios. tw2.js is still an exception.

    Insure the startup_dir ends in a slash/backslash. This is especially important for the json-service.ini "dir" key. The code that parses that value is not

    service locally, based on the sysop's choice.
