* perl Git::LoadCPAN: emit better errors under NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKSab/perl-fixesÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2018-03-051-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before my 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules", 2017-12-10) on an OS package that removed the private-Error.pm copy we carried around manually removing the OS's Error.pm would yield: $ git add -p Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Error module) [...] Now, before this change we'll instead emit this more cryptic error: $ git add -p BUG: '/usr/share/perl5/Git/FromCPAN' should be a directory! at /usr/share/perl5/Git/Error.pm line 36. This is a confusing error. Now if the new NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS option is specified and we can't find the module we'll instead emit: $ /tmp/git/bin/git add -p BUG: The 'Error' module is not here, but NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS was set! [...] Where [...] is the lengthy explanation seen in the change below, which explains what the potential breakage is, and how to fix it. The reason for checking @@NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS@@] against the empty string in Perl is as opposed to checking for a boolean value is that that's (as far as I can tell) make's idea of a string that's set, and e.g. NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS=0 is enough to set NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS.

* Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rulesÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2017-12-111-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the perl/Makefile.PL and the fallback perl/Makefile used under NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=NoThanks with a much simpler implementation heavily inspired by how the i18n infrastructure's build process works[1]. The reason for having the Makefile.PL in the first place is that it was initially[2] building a perl C binding to interface with libgit, this functionality, that was removed[3] before Git.pm ever made it to the master branch. We've since since started maintaining a fallback perl/Makefile, as MakeMaker wouldn't work on some platforms[4]. That's just the tip of the iceberg. We have the PM.stamp hack in the top-level Makefile[5] to detect whether we need to regenerate the perl/perl.mak, which I fixed just recently to deal with issues like the perl version changing from under us[6]. There is absolutely no reason for why this needs to be so complex anymore. All we're getting out of this elaborate Rube Goldberg machine was copying perl/* to perl/blib/* as we do a string-replacement on the *.pm files to hardcode @@LOCALEDIR@@ in the source, as well as pod2man-ing Git.pm & friends. So replace the whole thing with something that's pretty much a copy of how we generate po/build/**.mo from po/*.po, just with a small sed(1) command instead of msgfmt. As that's being done rename the files from *.pm to *.pmc just to indicate that they're generated (see "perldoc -f require"). While I'm at it, change the fallback for Error.pm from being something where we'll ship our own Error.pm if one doesn't exist at build time to one where we just use a Git::Error wrapper that'll always prefer the system-wide Error.pm, only falling back to our own copy if it really doesn't exist at runtime. It's now shipped as Git::FromCPAN::Error, making it easy to add other modules to Git::FromCPAN::* in the future if that's needed. Functional changes: * This will not always install into perl's idea of its global "installsitelib". This only potentially matters for packagers that need to expose Git.pm for non-git use, and as explained in the INSTALL file there's a trivial workaround. * The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way, it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of [7] is that this is the desired behavior. * We don't build man pages for all of the perl modules as we used to, only Git(3pm). As discussed on-list[8] that we were building installed manpages for purely internal APIs like Git::I18N or private-Error.pm was always a bug anyway, and all the Git::SVN::* ones say they're internal APIs. There are apparently external users of Git.pm, but I don't expect there to be any of the others. As a side-effect of these general changes the perl documentation now only installed by install-{doc,man}, not a mere "install" as before. 1. 5e9637c629 ("i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext", 2011-11-18) 2. b1edc53d06 ("Introduce Git.pm (v4)", 2006-06-24) 3. 18b0fc1ce1 ("Git.pm: Kill Git.xs for now", 2006-09-23) 4. f848718a69 ("Make perl/ build procedure ActiveState friendly.", 2006-12-04) 5. ee9be06770 ("perl: detect new files in MakeMaker builds", 2012-07-27) 6. c59c4939c2 ("perl: regenerate perl.mak if perl -V changes", 2017-03-29) 7. 0386dd37b1 ("Makefile: add PERLLIB_EXTRA variable that adds to default perl path", 2013-11-15) 8. 87bmjjv1pu.fsf@evledraar.booking.com ("Re: [PATCH] Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules" Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* git-imap-send: use libcurl for implementationbr/imap-send-via-libcurlBernhard Reiter2014-11-101-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use libcurl's high-level API functions to implement git-imap-send instead of the previous low-level OpenSSL-based functions. Since version 7.30.0, libcurl's API has been able to communicate with IMAP servers. Using those high-level functions instead of the current ones would reduce imap-send.c by some 1200 lines of code. For now, the old ones are wrapped in #ifdefs, and the new functions are enabled by make if curl's version is >= 7.34.0, from which version on curl's CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS (enabling IMAP authentication) parameter has been available. The low-level functions will still be used for tunneling into the server for now. As I don't have access to that many IMAP servers, I haven't been able to test the new code with a wide variety of parameter combinations. I did test both secure and insecure (imaps:// and imap://) connections and values of "PLAIN" and "LOGIN" for the authMethod. In order to suppress a sparse warning about "using sizeof on a function", we use the same solution used in commit 9371322a6 ("sparse: suppress some "using sizeof on a function" warnings", 06-10-2013) which solved exactly this problem for the other commands using libcurl.

* Fix profile feedback with -jN and add profile-fastak/profile-feedback-buildAndi Kleen2014-07-081-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Profile feedback always failed for me with -jN. The problem was that there was no implicit ordering between the profile generate stage and the profile use stage. So some objects in the later stage would be linked with profile generate objects, and fail due to the missing -lgcov. This adds a new profile target that implicitely enforces the correct ordering by using submakes. Plus a profile-install target to also install. This is also nicer to type that PROFILE=... Plus I always run the performance test suite now for the full profile run. In addition I also added a profile-fast / profile-fast-install target the only runs the performance test suite instead of the whole test suite. This significantly speeds up the profile build, which was totally dominated by test suite run time. However it may have less coverage of course.

* Fix build problems related to profile-directed optimizationTheodore Ts'o2012-02-061-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was a number of problems I ran into when trying the profile-directed optimizations added by Andi Kleen in git commit 7ddc2710b9. (This was using gcc 4.4 found on many enterprise distros.) 1) The -fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use commands are incompatible with ccache; the code ends up looking in the wrong place for the gcda files based on the ccache object names. 2) If the makefile notices that CFLAGS are different, it will rebuild all of the binaries. Hence the recipe originally specified by the INSTALL file ("make profile-all" followed by "make install") doesn't work. It will appear to work, but the binaries will end up getting built with no optimization. This patch fixes this by using an explicit set of options passed via the PROFILE variable then using this to directly manipulate CFLAGS and EXTLIBS. The developer can run "make PROFILE=BUILD all ; sudo make PROFILE=BUILD install" automatically run a two-pass build with the test suite run in between as the sample workload for the purpose of recording profiling information to do the profile-directed optimization. Alternatively, the profiling version of binaries can be built using: make PROFILE=GEN PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all make PROFILE=GEN install and then after git has been used for a while, the optimized version of the binary can be built as follows: make PROFILE=USE PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all make PROFILE=USE install Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettextab/enable-i18nÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2011-12-051-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation. This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act appropriately. This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to understand. The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various sub-parts of this commit. = Installation Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard $(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself. = Perl Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default. Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface) Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses. Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the $TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages. I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed necessary. See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for a further elaboration on this topic. = Shell Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh. If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris, which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to emulate eval_gettext() there. If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through wrapper. = About libcharset.h and langinfo.h We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set. The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is either saner, or the only option on those systems. GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either, but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset() instead. =Credits This patch is based on work by Jeff Epler <jepler@unpythonic.net> who did the initial Makefile / C work, and a lot of comments from the Git mailing list, including Jonathan Nieder, Jakub Narebski, Johannes Sixt, Erik Faye-Lund, Peter Krefting, Junio C Hamano, Thomas Rast and others.

* perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2010-09-271-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.

* War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano2007-06-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

* use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsNicolas Pitre2007-01-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is beginning of patch series introducing installation configuration using autoconf (and no other autotools) to git. The idea is to generate config.mak.autogen using ./configure (generated from configure.ac by running autoconf) from config.mak.in, so one can use autoconf as an _alternative_ to ordinary Makefile, and creating one's own config.mak. Local settings in config.mak override generated settings in config.mak.autogen This patch includes minimal configure.ac and config.mak.in, so one can set installation directories using autoconf generated ./configure script e.g. ./configure --prefix=/usr Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
