2010-09-27perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
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.

2010-08-12perl/Makefile: Unset INSTALL_BASE when making perl.makLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
PREFIX and INSTALL_BASE are mutually exclusive. If both are supplied by INSTALL_BASE being set in PERL_MM_OPT ExtUtils::MakeMaker will produce an error: $ echo $PERL_MM_OPT INSTALL_BASE=/home/avar/perl5 $ make -C perl PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/perl' prefix='/home/avar' perl.mak make: Entering directory `/home/avar/g/git/perl' /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX='/home/avar' Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given. Not both. make: *** [perl.mak] Error 255 make: Leaving directory `/home/avar/g/git/perl' Change the perl Makefile to work around this by explicitly unsetting INSTALL_BASE. INSTALL_BASE is set in PERL_MM_OPT by e.g. the popular local::lib package, from its documentation: eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib 2>/dev/null) Many other environments might also have set PERL_MM_OPT before building Git. This change enables us to build in these environments. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-03-05git-svn: support fetch with autocrlf onLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-1/+1
Before commit d3c9634e, performing a "git svn rebase" that fetched a change containing CRLFs corrupted the git-svn meta-data. This was worked around in d3c9634e by setting core.autocrlf to "false" in the per-repo config when initing the clone. However, if the config variable was later changed, the corruption would still occur. This patch tries to fix it while allowing core.autocrlf to be enabled, by disabling filters when when hashing. git-svn is currently the only call-site for hash_and_insert_object (apart from the test-suite), so changing it should be safe.

2009-09-25perl/Makefile.PL: detect MakeMaker versions incompatible with DESTDIRLibravatar Brandon Casey1-0/+8
It appears that ExtUtils::MakeMaker versions older than 6.11 do not implement the DESTDIR mechanism. So add a test to the generated perl.mak to detect when DESTDIR is used along with a too old ExtUtils::MakeMaker and abort with a message suggesting the use of NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER.

2008-11-13Git.pm: Make _temp_cache use the repository directoryLibravatar Marten Svanfeldt (dev)1-5/+10
Update the usage of File::Temp->tempfile to place the temporary files within the repository directory instead of just letting Perl decide what directory to use, given there is a repository specified when requesting the temporary file. This is needed to be able to fix git-svn on msys as msysperl generates paths with UNIX-style paths (/tmp/xxx) while the git tools expect natvie path format (c:/..). The repository dir is stored in native format so by using it as the base directory for temporary files we always get a usable native full path.

Perl 5.8.0 ships with File::Temp 0.13, which does not have the new() interface introduced in 0.14, as pointed out by Tom G. Christensen.

2008-08-12Git.pm: Add faculties to allow temp files to be cachedLibravatar Marcus Griep1-2/+123
This patch offers a generic interface to allow temp files to be cached while using an instance of the 'Git' package. If many temp files are created and destroyed during the execution of a program, this caching mechanism can help reduce the amount of files created and destroyed by the filesystem. The temp_acquire method provides a weak guarantee that a temp file will not be stolen by subsequent requests. If a file is locked when another acquire request is made, a simple error is thrown.

2008-08-04Git.pm: localise $? in command_close_bidi_pipe()Libravatar Abhijit Menon-Sen1-0/+1
Git::DESTROY calls _close_cat_blob and _close_hash_and_insert_object, which in turn call command_close_bidi_pipe, which calls waitpid, which alters $?. If this happens during global destruction, it may alter the program's exit status unexpectedly. Making $? local to the function solves the problem.

This patch also converts the good ole' git-remote.perl to use it. It is otherwise used in the repo.or.cz machinery and I guess other scripts might find it useful too.

2008-06-01Git.pm: fix return value of config methodLibravatar Lea Wiemann1-1/+1

2007-12-05Color support for "git-add -i"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+35
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it simpler and more consistent with commands written in C. A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color. A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text. For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

I find it difficult to see compiler warnings amongst the massive spewing produced by GNU make as it works through our productions.

By defining QUIET_MAKE (e.g. make QUIET_MAKE=YesPlease) during compilation users will get a less verbose output, such as: ... CC builtin-grep.c builtin-grep.c:187: warning: 'external_grep' defined but not used CC builtin-init-db.c CC builtin-log.c CC builtin-ls-files.c CC builtin-ls-tree.c ...
