However, there are some things which are shockingly +powerful. One of the things which quite surprised me are +snippets_. They are **a way more** powerful than just simple text +replacements. With this functionality I can create even something +so crazy as this snippet generating ``%changelog`` line in the +RPM spec files.:: + + $< + import rpm + import datetime + + spec = rpm.spec($GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_PATH) + date = datetime.date.today().strftime("%a %b %d %Y") + headers = spec.packages[0].header + version = headers['Version'] + release = ".".join(headers['Release'].split(".")[:-1]) + packager = headers['Packager'] + newheader = "* %s %s - %s-%s\n- " % (date, packager, version, release) + return newheader + > + +To install this snippet, open ``Manage Snippets..`` in the gedit +application menu and in the ``RPM Spec`` section create a new snippet and copy the code above to the text box on the right side. Give to this snippet some TAB trigger (I have ``chi`` there) or a key shortcut and be done. Then activate this snippet in the top of the ``%changelog`` section. + +.. _snippets: + https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/Plugins/Snippets |
