Purpose of "fdpsh", the Fedora Documentation Project Shell

Hi, Folks! Instead of adding process flow targets to "docs-common/Makefile.common", or making very many interrelated targets, let me offer an alternative: "fdp-functions" and "fdpsh". My preferred technique to adding interrelated process steps is to use lots of tiny shell scripts. Shell scripts read like code to me and the flow seems easier to understand. To that end, I leveraged Paul's "fdp-functions" beginnings by adding the "fdpsh" script. The "fdpsh" script transforms your shell (unless you are running csh, and if so, why are you ;-?) into an FDP-specific tool. It takes care of setting the necessary environment variables and provides handy task-specific actions that could be awkward otherwise. The ${PATH} is also updated so that "docs-common/bin" is first on the searchlist. So please consider adding shell functions for actions first, and resorting to "Makefile.common" only if you must. A target like: show_workers: ${FDPBIN}/fdpsh -c get_all_workers is a lot cleaner than exposing the individual steps in the "Makefile". End of commercial. Thank you for your patience. Please pay on your way out.
