TDB

Installation

This dotfiles repo is managed by Dotbot.

The supplied install script will first sync it's submodules containing dotbot and some software that does not have official packages. Thereafter, it will use dotbot to parse first default.conf.yaml and then any supplied arguments in order appending .conf.yaml.

For example, ./install home would first run the settings in default.conf.yaml and then home.conf.yaml

This only installs the symlinks from the dotfiles repo.

Organisation

The base directory contains the basics, stuff I want no matter what environment I am in.

Under site-specific are settings and sw that are only useful in a specific setting. Think work/home/laptop.

zshrc

To improve readability of my zshrc and simplify modifications per setting I have created a conf.d like directory (zshrc.d) and all the regular .zshrc file does is to load any zsh file it finds in that directory.

emacs

The emacs.d directory is linked in from the default configuration file. Customisation from the site-specific directories can be done two ways.

For settings needed early like setting up proxies for package installation supply a file named early-init.el on the load-path.
For other configurations, put elisp files in the conf.d directory and they will be loaded at the end of init.el

Other packages

The configuration files in this repository requires some software packages to be installed to function correctly. Exactly what this is I leave as an exercise for the reader :)

To install all debian packages I usually want see the packages.debian file.

(Only tested using Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS)

sudo apt-get install $(cat packages.debian|grep -v '^#')

Workarounds

Qtodotxt2 does not work out of the box for me, OpenGL is not imported as it should. Add a line to app.py

from OpenGl import GL
