2006-12-08Fix perl/ build.Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-1/+2
An earlier commit f848718a broke the build in perl/ directory by allowing the Makefile.PL to overwrite the now-tracked Makefile. Fix this by forcing Makefile.PL to produce its output in perl.mak as the broken commit originally intended. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-04Make perl/ build procedure ActiveState friendly.Libravatar Alex Riesen2-1/+41
On Cygwin + ActivateState Perl, Makefile generated with MakeMaker is not usable because of line-endings and back-slashes. This teaches perl/Makefile to write a handcrafted equivalent perl.mak file with 'make NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=NoThanks'.

2006-09-23Git.pm: Kill Git.xs for nowLibravatar Petr Baudis4-212/+10
This patch removes Git.xs from the repository for the time being. This should hopefully enable Git.pm to finally make its way to master. Git.xs is not going away forever. When the Git libification makes some progress, it will hopefully return (but most likely as an optional component, due to the portability woes) since the performance boosts are really important for applications like Gitweb or Cogito. It needs to go away now since it is not really reliable in case you use it for several repositories in the scope of a single process, and that is not possible to fix without some either very ugly or very intrusive core changes. Rest in peace. (While you can.) Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-08-13pass DESTDIR to the generated perl/MakefileLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+4
Makes life for binary packagers easier, as the Perl modules will be installed inside DESTDIR. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-25Eliminate Scalar::Util usage from private-Error.pmLibravatar Petr Baudis1-4/+10
We used just the blessed() routine so steal it from Scalar/Util.pm. Unfortunately, Scalar::Util is not bundled with older Perl versions. This is a newer much saner blessed() version by Randal L. Schwarz. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-09Git.pm: Introduce fast get_object() methodLibravatar Petr Baudis2-0/+42
Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either. The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted in the documentation. At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be doing ok. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-09Make it possible to set up libgit directly (instead of from the environment)Libravatar Petr Baudis2-6/+21
This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public) backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot. It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet but get_object() will in the next patches.

2006-07-02Git.pm: Don't #define around dieLibravatar Petr Baudis1-4/+0
Back in the old days, we called Git's die() from the .xs code, but we had to hijack Perl's die() for that. Now we don't call Git's die() so no need to do the hijacking and it silences a compiler warning. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-02Git.xs: older perl do not know const char *Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+3
Both of these casts _should_ be safe, since you do not want to muck around with the version or the path anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-02Git.pm: Avoid ppport.hLibravatar Petr Baudis2-7/+5
This makes us not include ppport.h which seems not to give us anything real anyway; it is useful for checking for portability warts but since Devel::PPPort is a portability wart itself, we shouldn't require it for build. You can check for portability problems by calling make check in perl/. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-02Git.pm: Remove PerlIO usage from Git.xsLibravatar Petr Baudis2-32/+38
PerlIO_*() is not portable before 5.7.3, according to ppport.h, and it's more clear what is going on when we do it in the Perl part of the Git module anyway. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-02Fix probing for already installed Error.pmLibravatar Pavel Roskin2-2/+2
The syntax for 'require' was wrong, and it was always failing, which resulted in installing our own version of Error.pm anyways. Now we used to ship our own Error.pm in the same directory, so after fixing the syntax, 'require' always succeeds, but it does not test if the platform has Error.pm module installed anymore. So rename the source we ship to private-Error.pm, and install that as Error.pm when the platform does not have one already.

2006-07-02Git.pm: Swap hash_object() parametersLibravatar Petr Baudis2-6/+6
I'm about to introduce get_object() and it will be better for consistency if the object type always goes first. And writing 'blob' there explicitly is not much bother. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-02Git.pm: Try to support ActiveState output pipeLibravatar Petr Baudis1-11/+57
The code is stolen from git-annotate and completely untested since I don't have access to any Microsoft operating system now. Someone ActiveState-savvy should look at it anyway and try to implement the input pipe as well, if it is possible at all; also, the implementation seems to be horribly whitespace-unsafe.

2006-07-02Git.pm: assorted build related fixes.Libravatar Petr Baudis2-4/+3
- We passed our own *.a archives as LIBS to the submake that runs in perl/; separate LIBS and EXTLIBS and pass the latter which tells what the system libraries are used. - The quoting of preprocesor symbol definitions passed down to perl/ submake was loose and we lost double quotes around include directives. Use *_SQ to quote them properly. - The installation location of perl/ submake is not architecture neutral anymore, so use SITEARCH instead of SITELIB.

2006-07-02Git.pm: Add support for subdirectories inside of working copiesLibravatar Petr Baudis1-28/+129
This patch adds support for subdirectories inside of working copies; you can specify them in the constructor either as the Directory option (it will just get autodetected using rev-parse) or explicitly using the WorkingSubdir option. This makes Git->repository() do the exact same path setup and repository lookup as the Git porcelain does. This patch also introduces repo_path(), wc_path() and wc_subdir() accessor methods and wc_chdir() mutator. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-02Git.pm: Implement options for the command interfaceLibravatar Petr Baudis1-2/+35
This gives the user a way to easily pass options to the command routines. Currently only the STDERR option is implemented and can be used to adjust what shall be done with error output of the called command (most usefully, it can be used to silence it).

2006-07-02Git.pm: Enhance the command_pipe() mechanismLibravatar Petr Baudis1-23/+53

2006-07-02Git.pm: Handle failed commands' outputLibravatar Petr Baudis1-21/+171
Currently if an external command returns error exit code, a generic exception is thrown and there is no chance for the caller to retrieve the command's output. This patch introduces a Git::Error::Command exception class which is thrown in this case and contains both the error code and the captured command output. You can use the new git_cmd_try statement to fatally catch the exception while producing a user-friendly message. It also adds command_close_pipe() for easier checking of exit status of a command we have just a pipe handle of. It has partial forward dependency on the next patch, but basically only in the area of documentation. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-02Git.pm: Better error handlingLibravatar Petr Baudis2-16/+60
So far, errors just killed the whole program and in case of an error inside of libgit it would be totally uncatchable. This patch makes Git.pm throw standard Perl exceptions instead. In the future we might subclass Error to Git::Error or something but for now Error::Simple is more than enough.

2006-07-02Add Error.pm to the distributionLibravatar Petr Baudis2-0/+831
I have been thinking about how to do the error reporting the best way and after scraping various overcomplicated concepts, I have decided that by far the most elegant way is to throw Error exceptions; the closest sane alternative is to catch the dies in Git.pm by enclosing the calls in eval{}s and that's really _quite_ ugly. The only "small" trouble is that Error.pm turns out sadly not to be part of the standard distribution, and installation from CPAN is a bother, especially if you can't install it system-wide. But since it is very small, I've decided to just bundle it. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-07-02Git.pm: Call external commands using execv_git_cmd()Libravatar Petr Baudis2-6/+28
Instead of explicitly using the git wrapper to call external commands, use the execv_git_cmd() function which will directly call whatever needs to be called. GitBin option becomes useless so drop it. This actually means the exec_path() thing I planned to use worthless internally, but Jakub wants it in anyway and I don't mind, so...

2006-07-02Introduce Git.pm (v4)Libravatar Petr Baudis4-0/+500
This patch introduces a very basic and barebone Git.pm module with a sketch of how the generic interface would look like; most functions are missing, but this should give some good base. I will continue expanding it. Most desirable now is more careful error reporting, generic_in() for feeding input to Git commands and the repository() constructor doing some poking with git-rev-parse to get the git directory and subdirectory prefix. Those three are basically the prerequisities for converting git-mv. I will send them as follow-ups to this patch. Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in various inconsistent ways. In addition to Git.pm, there is now also Git.xs which provides barebone Git.xs for directly interfacing with libgit.a, and as an example providing the hash_object() function using libgit. This adds the Git module, integrates it to the build system and as an example converts the git-fmt-merge-msg.perl script to it (the result is not very impressive since its advantage is not quite apparent in this one, but I just picked up the simplest Git user around). Compared to v3, only very minor things were fixed in this patch (some whitespaces, a missing export, tiny bug in git-fmt-merge-msg.perl); at first I wanted to post them as a separate patch but since this is still only in pu, I decided that it will be cleaner to just resend the patch. My current working state is available all the time at http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.pm and an irregularily updated API documentation is at http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.html Many thanks to Jakub Narebski, Junio and others for their feedback.
