vcs

With the introduction of profiles vcs will need directories to place them.

Using vcs-nix might be safer since vcs is too short and too meaningful (Version Control System) to hijack it safely.

Candidates:

• Site-wide: /usr/share/vcs/profiles, /usr/local/share/vcs/profiles/
• User-local: ~/.vcs/profiles/

With the introduction of ~/.vcs/ (or ~/.vcs-nix/) it makes sense moving local configurations there. The older ~/.vcs.conf will still be accepted.

Load order:

1. /etc/vcs.conf
2. ~/.vcs.conf
3. ~/.vcs/vcs.conf
4. ./vcs.conf

shoehorn is most probably no longer needed (or even working) with the complexity vcs has gained over time

–mincho was replaced with –nonlatin in 1.11

So that the syntax and options are clearer.

-I does use it

Command-line arguments for DVD handling should be consistent with handling of video files, e.g.:

$ vcs --dvd --dvd-title 1 /dev/dvd

with dvd-title being optional, instead of

$ vcs --dvd /dev/dvd 1

Safe length measuring creates extra temporary directories that aren’t removed properly

pyth_th() uses **, accepted by gawk but not mawk

Also Ubuntu uses mawk by default.

Symbolic font names don’t work since IM won’t know about TTF fonts.

Probably affects other systems too.

Some override-able variables were renamed silently in 1.11

DEFAULT_COLS ⇒ cols
DEFAULT_INTERVAL ⇒ interval
DEFAULT_NUMCAPS ⇒ numcaps

The grep regex uses ‘\s’ which is Perl-style and not supported by all greps.

Use ‘:space:’ or similar.

Low severity since vcs works with the failed check.

Workaround introduced in 1.0.7a, needs refinement
