2018-03-05perl: move CPAN loader wrappers to another namespaceLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-24/+0
Move the Git::Error and Git::Mail::Address wrappers to the Git::LoadCPAN::Loader::* namespace, e.g. Git::LoadCPAN::Error. That module will then either load Error from CPAN (if installed on the OS), or use Git::FromCPAN::Error. When I added the Error wrapper in 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules", 2017-12-10) I didn't think about how confusing it would be to have these modules sitting in the same tree as our normal modules. Let's put these all into Git::{Load,From}CPAN::* to clearly distinguish them from the rest. This also makes things a bit less confusing since there was already a Git::Error namespace ever since 8b9150e3e3 ("Git.pm: Handle failed commands' output", 2006-06-24).

2018-02-27perl: *.pm files should not have the executable bitLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+0
The Git::Mail::Address file added in bd869f67b9 ("send-email: add and use a local copy of Mail::Address", 2018-01-05) had the executable bit set. That bit should not be set for *.pm files. It breaks nothing but it is redundant and confusing as none of the other files have it and these files are never executed as stand-alone programs.

2018-01-05send-email: add and use a local copy of Mail::AddressLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+24
We used to have two versions of the email parsing code. Our parse_mailboxes (in Git.pm), and Mail::Address which we used if installed. Unfortunately, both versions have different sets of bugs, and changing the behavior of git depending on whether Mail::Address is installed was a bad idea. A first attempt to solve this was cc90750 (send-email: don't use Mail::Address, even if available, 2017-08-23), but it turns out our parse_mailboxes is too buggy for some uses. For example the lack of nested comments support breaks get_maintainer.pl in the Linux kernel tree: https://public-inbox.org/git/20171116154814.23785-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org/ This patch goes the other way: use Mail::Address anyway, but have a local copy from CPAN as a fallback, when the system one is not available. The duplicated script is small (276 lines of code) and stable in time. Maintaining the local copy should not be an issue, and will certainly be less burden than maintaining our own parse_mailboxes. Another option would be to consider Mail::Address as a hard dependency, but it's easy enough to save the trouble of extra-dependency to the end user or packager.
