Bug#743887: ITP: direnv -- A utility to set directory specific environment variables



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Punit Agrawal <punitagrawal@gmail.com>

* Package name    : direnv
  Version         : 2.3.0
  Upstream Author : Jonas Pfenniger
* URL             : http://direnv.net/
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : A utility to set directory specific environment variables

direnv is a shell extension that loads different environment
variables depending on your path.

Instead of putting every environment variable in your
"~/.profile", have directory-specific ".envrc" files for your
AWSACCESSKEY, LIBRARY_PATH or other environment variables.

It does some of the job of rvm, rbenv or virtualenv but in a language-
agnostic way

I use this tool to set-up different environment variables for the projects
I build.

Javi (cc'd) has agreed to mentor this package and sponsor it when ready.
