Support for puppet manifest highlighting was kindly provided by Sergey Zhuga, original is here: https://github.com/scrill/puppet-syntax-mcedit Mr. Zhuga agreed with inclusion in mainstream MC: https://github.com/scrill/puppet-syntax-mcedit/issues/2 Reasons to favor puppet syntax over pascal for .pp files: --------------------------------------------------------- I will not argue whether in 2014 pascal is still being used or not, and to what extent. I would like to point out that whoever is using any variation of pascal for any serious development, is probably not using 'mcedit' as an IDE. Instead, this development activity is probably situated in nice, fully-featured graphical IDE. Platform wise, judging by the weekly download statistics of FreePascal at SourceForge, at this moment more than 80% of all downloads are for Windows environents. On the other hand Midnight Commander is Linux based. Considering this in combination with speculation from the previous paragraph, there seems to be only a small chance that 'mcedit' is being used as an editor of choice for pascal development. On the contrary, puppet currently certainly does have wider audience amongst sysadmins, who regularly use Linux. Puppet master requires a server (usually) and quite a few sysadmins edit files directly on servers that act as puppet masters for puppet development environments. When accessing these servers remotely, mcedit comes very handy for quick edits here and there. Also keep in mind that puppet files are normally not very large. Therefore actual IDE would be an overkill and 'mcedit' does the job quite ok, but syntax highlighting would be much appreciated. To sum it up: If we speculate about the *actual* usage of 'mcedit', I do believe that a wider audience would benefit by having .pp files highlighted by default with puppet syntax definition instead of pascal syntax definition. |
