directives.json and appconfig.json svn notes

• directives.json and appconfig.json should not be kept in the repository since they are system specific
• instead, you can commit directives.json.sysname and appconfig.json.sysname
• also, if you make changes to directives.json (excepting paths below), please also make the changes to directives.json.template
  • note the paths in .template are specially setup to allow getapp.pl to install properly on a different system
  • e.g.

  "executable_path"           :
                                {
                                 "html5" : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/bin",
                                 "qt3"   : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/bin",
                                 "qt4"   : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/bin",
                                 "qt5"   : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/bin",
                                 "java"  : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/bin"
                                },

  "docroot"                   :
                                {
                                 "html5" : "__webroot__",
                                 "qt3"   : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/tmp",
                                 "qt4"   : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/tmp",
                                 "qt5"   : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/tmp",
                                 "java"  : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/tmp"
                                },

...

  ,"appconfig"                 : "__app_parent_directory__/demo/appconfig.json"

• planned is a utility to make a directives.json.template file from directives.json, but for now, you will have to manually edit any changes except for the paths above

• appconfig.json will be created on the target system during the install process, so no need to make a template
