Instead of having a separate start.lua.in file in the scripts directory
and no start.lua file in data/core we use the file data/core/start.lua
as a template for Meson to generate the final start.lua file for release.
In this way people naturally trying to run lite-xl from the source folder
will have a start.lua file albeit without a resolved version number.
Otherwise, when using run-local script or the meson install command the
meson-generated start.lua file will be used as it should be.
- Added version and license metadata
- Configuration data to be used in configured files to set metadata
- Portable binary and directories in the main install directory
- Binary file installed in correct places for all supported platforms
- Freedesktop AppStream support
- Added missing files install rules
Use regular expressions instead of Lua patterns for find and replace editor commands.
Syntax files can now use regex or Lua patterns as before keeping backward compatibility for plugins.
Add a Meson option "portable" to choose between "portable" and unix-like
directories. Add information about this option in the README.
To determine the user's directory use the variable USERPROFILE only on
Windows and use HOME otherwise.
Implement the "portable" option in the package build script.
Create the user's config init file if lite user's config directory does
not exists.
No longer use the awkward package.searchers but instead add user's
config dir at the end of package path.
It basically works by setting the data directory to
$prefix/share/lite-xl
where $prefix is determined so that $prefix/bin corresponds to EXEDIR.
The packages 'user' and 'user.*' are loaded from the directory
'$HOME/.config/lite-xl'.
Currently the editor will not work if it is not installed.
There is also a caveat about the 'data' directory which is installed
in the bin directory. This may work but does not seem ok because it is
pollution a shared bin directory and the 'data' folder may not be unique
to Lite.
