Hi,
I have a general question. I can write
| Code: | if ...condition...;then
do this...
fi
if not...condition...;then
do that...
fi |
or I can write
| Code: | if ...condition...;then
do this...
else
do that...
fi |
It looks to me that the last one is 'better style' but is it really better, maybe faster?
Concrete example, with slacko 5.3.2.1 in rcsysinit, ~line 754 is written:
| Code: | #save button on desktop when booted from flash drive...
if [ $PUPMODE -eq 3 -o $PUPMODE -eq 7 -o $PUPMODE -eq 13 ];then #pup_rw is tmpfs.
if [ "`cat /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin | grep "save2flash"`" = "" ];then
echo '<icon x="768" y="128" label="save">/usr/sbin/save2flash</icon>' >> /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
cat /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin | grep -v '/pinboard' > /tmp/PuppyPin-CPY
sync
cp -f /tmp/PuppyPin-CPY /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
echo '</pinboard>' >> /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
fi
fi |
I added:
| Code: | if ! [ $PUPMODE -eq 3 -o $PUPMODE -eq 7 -o $PUPMODE -eq 13 ];then #pup_rw is tmpfs.
if ! [ "`cat /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin | grep "save2flash"`" = "" ];then
cat /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin | grep -v "^<icon x=\"768\" y=\"128\" label=\"save\"" >/tmp/PuppyPin-CPY
cp -f /tmp/PuppyPin-CPY /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
echo '</pinboard>' >> /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
fi
fi |
Is it worth to change?
Thanks,
Rolf

Hi Rolf.. | Quote: | | Is it worth to change? |
Probably yes!
But it's embedded in woof and getting upstream changes like that are difficult as there are always more pressing issues.
[One example is how gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders is run since gtk+2.20 , I tried to get Barry to change it to the correct call from what I researched but to no avail, I patch it every time I build slacko]
I would do it completely differently...
| Code: | case $PUPMODE in
3|7|13)
(code for whatever goes here)
;;
*)echo
;;
esac |

Thanks Mick 
I wasn't aware about '*)' in case...esac. Will give it a try.
I also know that it's only for one special version. If woof changes (I know it does often  ), everything must be done again and maybe it doesn't work in newer versions or at least it must be changed. Too annoying to do it everytime. But a good feeling to be able to do so and it works. That's the fun.
Cheers
Rolf
