[build]: Weaken dependency on TeX, instead using it (to generate the DVI
and PDF forms of our Texinfo manual) only if it is available.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_USE_TEX_CHECK): Check for presence of 'tex'
executable in path. Set shell variable `groff_use_tex` to "yes" if
present, and "no" otherwise. This check runs only if the 'makeinfo'
and 'texi2dvi' version checks have already passed.
* configure.ac: Run the new check. Set Automake conditional `USE_TEX`
only if shell variable `groff_use_tex` is "yes". Report whether
"groff.dvi" and "groff.pdf" are (re-)buildable.
* doc/doc.am: Parameterize names of groff.{dvi,pdf} targets as Make
macros `GROFF_DVI` and `GROFF_PDF`. Define them only if `USE_TEX`.
Do _not_ update `EXTRA_DIST` macro; leave the literal file names there
because we require that distribution archives contain these files.
(.texi.dvi, .texi.pdf): Update suffix rules to check `USE_TEX` and
fail, complaining of missing 'tex' program, if these targets are
attempted without it being true. Only manually specifying the file
names as targets to 'make' or attempting to generate a distribution
archive without TeX present should cause these errors.
* INSTALL.REPO: Update dependency information.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62592>. Thanks to Deri James for
the report.

* FOR-RELEASE: Split-off ChangeLog files need to be added to the
distribution archive.
* HACKING: Clarify non-ChangeLoggable items. Generally, an item that
resolves a Savannah ticket should be ChangeLogged even if it would not
normally meet that threshold. Also clarify a point in an example; we
certainly expect table entries containing the word "FOOBAR" to show up
that way when formatted.
* INSTALL.REPO: Correct prose description of what to do with unpacked
"gnulib" snapshot.
* README: Clarify that the '.version' file is produced by the build
process. Clarify origins and provenance of various groff components.
Use a more appropriate URL for the Savannah issue tracker. Lightly
recast.

* Expand introduction.
* Eschew term "tarball" in favor of "archive".
* The term "snapshot tarball" was undefined. If it meant the snapshot
archives available for any groff commit via Savannah/cgit, then the
existing wording wrongly implied that the "INSTALL.extra" instructions
could be used for them. This is not true because gnulib is not
included in those archives. If it meant something else, it's of
limited use: all of our official archives for the past four years have
been release candidates or final releases. Moreover, since we have
had an automated test suite for roughly the same duration, our Git
master branch is expected to be release-worthy at all times.
* Consequently, define "snapshot archive" using the former definition.
* Describe how to distinguish snapshot and distribution archives.
* Un-enumerate section headings.
* Cross-reference "INSTALL.extra" file for build dependencies shared
between distribution archives and Git/snapshot builds.
* Consistently prefix shell commands with a shell prompt '$'.
* Add instructions for bootstrapping a snapshot archive, which requires
obtaining a gnulib snapshot.
* Move description of what bootstrapping does to its own section.
* Add "Evaluation", "Installation", and "Uninstallation" sections.
* Drop material on "automake.mom"; it is not applicable to
building/installation per se, but rather to development.

...from the former file to the latter, recongizing it as essentially
historical. Autoconf 2.68 has not been the latest release for over 10
years now.

Bring discussion up to date.
INSTALL.REPO: Bump documented autoconf dependency. Encourage use of
'-j' option to make(1), but stop explaining it--multicore machines are
standard these days and we can expect users building from Git to know
this. Drop reassurance about transparent output-related diagnostics
since we have kludgily disabled them for the time being. Drop
discussion of 'doc' and 'install-doc' targets since they have been
removed. Drop discussion of autoreconf(1) since groff's migration to
Automake is a few years older now. Fix error: automake.pdf _is_ built
by default; it's simply not installed.
INSTALL.extra: Encourage use of '-j' option to make(1). Add discussion
of "unprivileged installation". Simplify discussion of our Texinfo
manual's output formats since they're all shipped with the distribution
archive now.

* INSTALL.REPO: Update characterization of our test repertoire.
* INSTALL.extra: Update documented compiler requirements; I don't think
GCC 2.7.1 has been supported by anyone for many years. Document
ISO C++98 requirement. Drop advice about use of alternative mallocs;
I haven't seen any evidence of anyone doing this or suffering because
they haven't. Add guidance re: uchardet '-dev{,el}' packages per
suggestion from Deri James. Fix error: "latin1" is a groff device;
"latin" is not.
Also fix minor style nits (capitalization, quotation style).

* update-copyright.sh: use gnulib's 'update-copyright' script. Pass
this script in directories 'arch', 'contrib', 'font', 'man', 'tmac',
'src' and on a list of extra files.
* FOR-RELEASE: mention this point.

This reverts commit a2e955e07354c83939fabffebcf720d3333d1f6b.
Some files (COPYING, FDL, bootstrap) should not have been updated
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Use gnulib's update-copyright script.
* src/roff/groff/groff.cpp: update the printf displayed when 'groff -v' is invoked.
* FOR-RELEASE: mention this point.

This did not produce much churn except in README.MinGW, which seems to
have been deliberately wrapped at 76 columns instead of 72--sorry.
Also update (in INSTALL.REPO's case, add) editor settings.
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|

* doc/doc.am:
- Use automake 'install-pdf-local' and 'install-html-local' rules
to install groff.pdf and groff.html
- New rules 'uninstall_pdf' and 'uninstall_html'.
- Use $(RM) instead of 'rm'.
- Don't try to build doc if 'BUILD_INFODOC' is not set.
* INSTALL.REPO: document texinfo build and installation.

* INSTALL.REPO: mention that 'pkg-config' is a dependency.
* INSTALL.extra: add dependency 'makeinfo' and optional
dependencies 'pkg-config' and 'uchardet'.
* TESTS: move to doc/automake_migration_tests.txt
* INSTALL.gen: remove, this file is redundant with the 'INSTALL'
file from gnulib.

Add note to INSTALL.REPO to ignore "can't transparently output node
at top level" and "can't translate character code n to special
character 'c' in transparent throughput" warnings.
Fix instructions for building typesetting.mom in mom/examples/README.txt
to include -k flag.

See bug at: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51554. If tests for
posix compliance of fprintf from `gnulib_m4/fprintf-posix.m4'
fail, a replacement function of `fprintf' is used. Consequently,
all executables that use this function must link against the
gnulib (`libgnu.a'). The bug was introduced by commit
fa41eeba06987a12bc0434f8b51896d4618a3997.

systems that supports multiple autotools versions.
Regexp in contrib/groffer/groffer.am: Basic regular expressions don't
have a "+" bound.

Added a quick guide on the usage of automake in groff
(doc/automake.mom, must be manually generated with pdfmom).
* Makefile.am: distribute TESTS. and font/util/make-Rproto.
* contrib/hdtbl/hdtbl.am: contrib/hdtbl/examples/fonts_n.in and
fonts_x.in were not distributed. Examples (.ps files) of were
mistakenly distributed.
* contrib/mom/mom.am: Mom examples (pdf files) were mistakenly
distributed.
* contrib/pdfmark/pdfmark.am: pdfmark.pdf was mistakenly distributed.
* doc/doc.am: unprotected '@' in sed command symbols caused missing
substitution of @VERSION@ in some generated files.
* font/devpdf/devpdf.am: font/devpdf/util/BuildFoundries (generated)
was mistakenly distributed.
* src/preproc/pic/pic.am: .n was mistakenly distributed, pic.man was
not distributed.
* tmac/tmac.am: some generated files were mistakenly distributed.
* Updated INSTALL.REPO.
* doc/automake.mom: new file.
