casparize(1)							  USER COMMANDS 						      casparize(1)

  NAME
      casparize - Set up caspar Makefile in a new directory

  SYNOPSIS
      casparize dir (/path/to/config/dir)

      casparize file (/path/to/config/dir/file)

  DESCRIPTION
      casparize  creates  a  new  configuration  working directory in your current working directory, sets up a Makefile for caspar(7) in this new
      directory, and optionally copies an original configuration file from its original system place to the newly  created  configuration  working
      directory.

  USAGE
      You typically use casparize when you already have created the root configuration working directory with its include directory and install.mk
      Caspar include file. By analysing your current working directory and the configuration directory path you give on  the  command  line,  cas-
      parize  can  deduce the contents of the Makefile in the newly created configuration working directory. It creates the new directory, creates
      the correct Makefile, and optionally copies the given configuration file in the new directory, ready for its first version commit.

  EXAMPLES
      A typical example:

	$ cd <svn>/etc
	$ casparize /etc/postfix/main.cf

      creates the directory <svn>/etc/postfix, creates <svn>/etc/postfix/Makefile including the proper content,  and  copies  /etc/postfix/main.cf
      into <svn>/etc/postfix/main.cf. You can now directly add and commit the new directory.

  BUGS
      Non known at this moment.
