nano syntax for PKGBUILDs

phrakture · 2004-11-17 19:28:09

Hey guys, for simple tasks, I tend to use nano, as it's real lightweight. Most people don't know you can do syntax highlighting in nano, so here's one for PKGBUILD syntax to get your feet wet.

Put this in /etc/nanorc or ~/.nanorc

syntax "pkgbuild" "^PKGBUILD$"
color green "<(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|backup|makedepends|depends|source|md5sums|groups|confilcts|provides|replaces)>"
color brightgreen "build()" "{" "}"
color red "<(cp|mv|cd|mkdir|return)>"
color cyan "<(configure|make|install)>"
color blue "#.*"
color brightwhite "<(DESTDIR|PREFIX|prefix)>"

Now, it's not perfect, for instance, the term "install" appears all over the place... install=package.install, make install, install -m755.... so there's just one color for it.... the colors are pseudo random (I just picked them off the top of my head)...

BTW. I filed a bug report about nano.
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=1804

It looks for nanorc in /usr/etc not in /etc. Adding --sysconfdir=/etc to configure and recompiling fixes this of course.

I tried to extend your coloring settings. It's not as easy as it looks :-) Not quite how I wanted it to but here it is my /etc/nanorc

set autoindent
set const
set historylog
set nowrap
set smooth
set speller "aspell -c"
set tabsize 4
set backup
set regexp

syntax "pkgbuild" "^.*PKGBUILD$"
color green start="^" end="$"
color cyan "^.*(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces).*=.*$"
color brightcyan "<(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces)>"
color cyan ".install"
color brightwhite "=" "'" "(" ")" """ "#.*$" "," "{" "}"
color brightcyan "($|${|$()(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces|startdir)(|}|))"
color brightred "build()"
color brightred "<(configure|make)>"
color red "<(DESTDIR|PREFIX|prefix|sysconfdir|datadir|libdir|includedir|mandir)>"

I'll try to improve it if I find some time this weekend.
Maybe someone else also has any ideas how cat this be improved and simplified?

this works for nano 1.2.5!!

shadowhand · 2005-11-28 04:52:23

Thanks all! This a wonderful thread to find (I <3 nano!).

iBertus · 2005-11-28 19:14:22

kick arse! i never knew nano could do all this!

matsche · 2006-11-13 16:36:54

set multibuffer

this doesn't work anylonger in nano2!

I'm still looking for syntax highlighting in nano!

Thanks for nanorc, phrakture!
BTW, have you tried mc-colorer from AUR?

Sigi · 2006-11-13 18:02:51

Thanks a lot for bringing this thread back to life! I really didn't know about the highlighting features of nano....

judfilm · 2007-05-31 02:26:23

Does anyone know how the Installer does its nano colours?

No way man, why? It only takes a sec to load up vim and power away... *stares menacingly at arrow keys*

Haha, don't dodge the question! =P

Edit: Wait, does that mean you no longer resort to such foolish tactics?

He's a bigger nano user than ever before.

I actually run notepad in wine for quick tasks.

Geeting an error with the PKGBUILD syntax (as listed above):

$nano /etc/nanorc

Error in /etc/nanorc on line 54: Bad regex "(": Unmatched ( or \(
Error in /etc/nanorc on line 54: Bad regex "{": Invalid preceding regular expression
Error in /etc/nanorc on line 55: Bad regex "($|${|$()(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces|startdir)(|}|))": Invalid preceding regular expression
Press Enter to continue starting nano.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Escape parenthesis and brackets :

## Here is an example for PKGBUILD
##
syntax "pkgbuild" "^.*PKGBUILD$"
color green start="^" end="$"
color cyan "^.*(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces).*=.*$"
color brightcyan "<(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces)>"
color cyan ".install"
color brightwhite "=" "'" "\(" "\)" """ "#.*$" "," "\{" "\}"
#color brightcyan "($|${|$()(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces|startdir)(|}|))"
color brightcyan "($|$\{|$\(\)(pkgname|pkgver|pkgrel|pkgdesc|force|url|license|install|source|md5sums|groups|backup|depends|makedepends|conflicts|provides|replaces|startdir)\(|\}|\))"
color brightred "build()"
color brightred "<(configure|make)>"
color red "<(DESTDIR|PREFIX|prefix|sysconfdir|datadir|libdir|includedir|mandir)>"

Answering a bit late but it could help others

Just one year and 3 months
but thank you making me rediscovering the nano experience

If it used to work and now it doesn't, check what other packages have been updated in the meantime. Either way, check your /usr/share/nano/pkgbuild.nanorc and /etc/nanorc files. Maybe those got changed unintentionally.
