# This script is ment to allow you to setup gconf to manage confiuration 
# sources through desktop-profiles.
#
# It will read your a path file (the global gconf one by default) and will:
# - generate the necessary metadata to manage all profiles through 
#   desktop-profiles
# - adapt the global path file to manage all configuration sources with
#   desktop-profiles (unless told not to)

Usage: path2listing [OPTIONS]
  This script facilitates the conversion from:
  - managing gconf configuration sources directly through path files,
  - to managing them with the desktop-profiles package
  and will thus generaly be run only once directly after installing
  desktop-profiles

  It will generate the metadata (listing file) needed by desktop-profiles to
  manage the configuration sources that are activated directly or indirectly
  (i.e. through included path files) by the path file it is run on. 

  After the generation of the metadata the converted path file will be
  replaced by one assuming that desktop-profiles manages activation of
  configuration sources (unless you tell it not to).

Options:
  -d, --distance   : precedence distance between different configuration
                     sources (defaults to $SOURCE_DISTANCE), 
		     The idea is to leave some space between precedences so you
		     can easily insert other configuration sources later on.
  -f, --file       : path file to start conversion from 
                     (defaults to $ROOT_PATH_FILE)
  -o, --output-file: file to put the generated metadata in (defaults to 
                     $CUSTOM_LISTINGS)
  --no-replace-file: don't replace path file from which we start the conversion
                     with one that manages everything through desktop-profiles
  -h, --help    : display this helpmessage
EOF

# $1 is the path file to look at
# output is the reverse-priority ordered list of configuration sources that $1
# contains (directly, or indirectly through nested include directives). The 
# output will ignore the hooks for desktop-profiles if present (as we don't 
# need to generate any metadata for them).
#
# Note: not recursing down includes referring to environment variables as we 
#       can't be sure they'll resolve the same way when converting, and when
#       running as $random_user, keep them as includes
# Note: also don't recurse down includes referring to $(HOME) or $(USER), as
