2011-03-25gitweb: Fix handling of fractional timezones in parse_dateLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-2/+4
Fractional timezones, like -0330 (NST used in Canada) or +0430 (Afghanistan, Iran DST), were not handled properly in parse_date; this means values such as 'minute_local' and 'iso-tz' were not generated correctly. This was caused by two mistakes: * sign of timezone was applied only to hour part of offset, and not as it should be also to minutes part (this affected only negative fractional timezones). * 'int $h + $m/60' is 'int($h + $m/60)' and not 'int($h) + $m/60', so fractional part was discarded altogether ($h is hours, $m is minutes, which is always less than 60). Note that positive fractional timezones +0430, +0530 and +1030 can be found as authortime in git.git repository itself. For example http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/88d50e7 had authortime of "Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:48:07 +0000 (23:48 +0530)", which is not marked with 'atnight', when "git show 88d50e7" gives correct author date of "Sat Jan 9 00:18:07 2010 +0530".

2011-03-16gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spacesLibravatar Kevin Cernekee1-1/+1
Consider the following code fragment: /* * test */ vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a tab: ^I/*$ ^I * test$ ^I */$ By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML output: $ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c <span class="hl com">/*</span> <span class="hl com"> * test</span> <span class="hl com"> */</span> vim list mode: ^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$ <span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$ <span class="hl com">^I */</span>$ In gitweb, this winds up looking something like: 1 /* 2 * test 3 */ I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior. The desired output is: 1 /* 2 * test 3 */ This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the highlight command line.

2011-02-21gitweb/gitweb.perl: don't call S_ISREG() with undefLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Change S_ISREG($to_mode_oct) to S_ISREG($from_mode_oct) in the branch that handles from modes, not to modes. This logic appears to have been caused by copy/paste programming by Jakub Narebski in e8e41a93. It would be better to rewrite this code not to be duplicated, but I haven't done so. This issue caused a failing test on perl 5.13.9, which has a warning that turned this up: gitweb.perl: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /home/avar/g/git/t/../gitweb/gitweb.perl line 4415.

Using the qw(...) construct as implicit parentheses was deprecated in perl 5.13.5. Change the relevant code in gitweb to not use the deprecated construct. The offending code was introduced in 3562198b by Jakub Narebski. The issue is that perl will now warn about this: $ perl -wE 'for my $i qw(a b) { say $i }' Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at -e line 1. a b This caused gitweb.perl to warn on perl 5.13.5 and above, and these tests to fail on those perl versions: ./t9501-gitweb-standalone-http-status.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 11 Failed: 10) Failed tests: 2-11 Non-zero exit status: 1 ./t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 10 Failed: 9) Failed tests: 2-10 Non-zero exit status: 1 Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jakub Narębski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-01-04gitweb: remove unnecessary test when closing file descriptorLibravatar Sylvain Rabot1-2/+1
It happens that closing file descriptor fails whereas the blob is perfectly readable. According to perlman the reasons could be: If the file handle came from a piped open, "close" will additionally return false if one of the other system calls involved fails, or if the program exits with non-zero status. (If the only problem was that the program exited non-zero, $! will be set to 0.) Closing a pipe also waits for the process executing on the pipe to complete, in case you want to look at the output of the pipe afterwards, and implicitly puts the exit status value of that command into $?. Prematurely closing the read end of a pipe (i.e. before the process writ- ing to it at the other end has closed it) will result in a SIGPIPE being delivered to the writer. If the other end can't handle that, be sure to read all the data before closing the pipe. In this case we don't mind that close fails.

It is needed only to escape attributes of handcrafted HTML elements, and not those generated using CGI.pm subroutines / methods for HTML generation. While at it, add esc_url and esc_html where needed, and prefer to use CGI.pm HTML generating methods than handcrafted HTML code.

2010-12-14gitweb: Fix handling of whitespace in generated linksLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-8/+23
When creating path_info part of link, don't encode space as '+', because while $cgi->param('foo') translates '+' in query param to ' ', neither $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} nor $cgi->path_info() do. This fixes the issue with pathnames with embedded whitespace and $feature{'pathinfo'} / path_info links. It is done by using newly introduced esc_path_info() instead of esc_url() in href() subroutine. Also while links are more clear not escaping space (' ') characters in generated links, the trailing space must be URI-encoded, otherwise would get discarded.

2010-11-29gitweb: selectable configurations that change with each requestLibravatar Jakub Narebski2-2/+29
Allow selecting whether configuration file should be (re)parsed on each request (the default, for backward compatibility with configurations that change per session, see commit 7f425db (gitweb: allow configurations that change with each request, 2010-07-30)), or whether should it be parsed only once (for performance speedup for persistent environments, though currently only FastCGI is able to make use of it, when flexibility is not important). You can also have configuration file parsed only once, but have parts of configuration (re)evaluated once per each request. This is done by introducing $per_request_config variable: if set to code reference, this code would be run once per request, while config file would be parsed only once. For example gitolite's contrib/gitweb/gitweb.conf fragment mentioned in 7f425db could be rewritten as our $per_request_config = sub { $ENV{GL_USER} = ($cgi && $cgi->remote_user) || "gitweb"; }; to make use of this feature. If $per_request_config is not a code reference, it is taken to be boolean variable, to choose between running config file for each request (flexibility), and running config file only once (performance in persistent environments). The default value for $per_request_config is 1 (true), which means that old configuration that require to change per session (like gitolite's) will keep working.

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.
