| Summary | 0007013: explain and index all $-substitutable variables (e.g., DATADIR) | ||||
| Description | The explanation should include origins (e.g., DATADIR comes from Autotools), common usage, and placement. https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/taler/2021-09/msg00001.html | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Well, everything that can be $-substituted must be in $PATHS. Some variables there are in the default-config, others are created at runtime by libgnunetutil based on its heuristics to guess where the various autotools prefixes ended up. | |
| This is not just a documentation issue, but the taler-util TS package also needs to support those variables. | |
| Documented in 52c8fbc..92103b6. Not sure if something still needs to be done about the TS package, hence assigning to Florian. | |
| Hmm, it's still not fully documented. The GNUnet implementation also substitutes from environment variables ($HOME etc.), but this isn't mentioned in the documentation. Do we allow *all* environment variables? What has precedences, [PATHS] or the environment variable? Or just special ones like $HOME? Needs to still be documented, then I can ensure that the TypeScript implementation matches. | |
| Yes, all environment variables, [PATHS] has precedence, then envirionment variables. If neither is available, an error is logged. 5545d19..afbf55d updates the docs. | |
| As of c95740f, the TypeScript taler-util package now complies with the spec regarding substitution. | |
