Infer values and allow command line overrides of values in genweb.yml

[marcpage]

We specify several variables in ~/.devopsdriver/genweb.yml (Linux path). These could be inferred or overridden by passing them on the command line.

We should also move the people-identifier folders under a root-level folder called people.

Variables we can infer (or pass on the command line or set in the genweb.yml file)

• gedcom_path: If this is not specified, we should search the artifacts directory for *.ged and load the latest (printing out the full path we are using)
• metadata_yaml: There should be a metadata directory at the root that contains Yaml files that can be concatenated (alphabetically sorted). Should be formatted like metadata 2024-09-01.yml. This will allow us to have multiple, smaller Yaml files and contents of the latest Yaml file would take precedence over "older" named files.
• alias_path: File named aliases.yml in the root of the artifacts directory

Variables we cannot infer (pass on the command line or specify in the genweb.yml file)

• site_dir: This is the output dir.
• binaries_dir: This should be artifacts_dir. We will search in this directory for inferred files/directories above.

Proposed Directory Structure

Pass artifacts_dir (formerly binaries_dir) and site_dir on command line, or in ~/.devopsdriver/genweb.yml.

• %artifacts_dir%/
  • artifacts/ (recommended, but not required, location for pictures, movies, mini-websites, etc.)
  • export 2024-02-01.ged (name doesn't matter, latest modified *.ged in %artifacts_dir% is used)
  • aliases.yml (name actually matters)
  • metadata/
    • 2024-02-08 Original.yml (the original metadata file)
    • 2024-06-10 Updates.yml (updates since the original, values take precedence over original)
    • 2024-09-16 Updates.yml (most recent updates. Names don't matter other than sortable and highest sorted takes precedence)
• %site_dir%/
  • export 2024-02-01.ged (just a copy from %artifacts_dir%/)
  • aliases.yml (just a copy from %artifacts_dir%/)
  • metadata/
    • 2024-02-08 Original.yml (just a copy from %artifacts_dir%/)
    • 2024-06-10 Updates.yml (just a copy from %artifacts_dir%/)
    • 2024-09-16 Updates.yml (just a copy from %artifacts_dir%/)
  • people/ (people moved deeper to clean up root dir)
    • SmithJohnE2004JonesSalleyF1978/ (people-id folders exist here)
