git-merge-changelog in debian
Hi, Per user request, git-merge-changelog is now a package in debian. The binary package is generated from the gnulib source package, along with the gnulib binary package. Debian mandates man pages for all binaries, so I adapted the comments at the top of git-merge-changelog.c into a man page. My *roff is a bit ropy, so I used perl's pod format. I've attached it, along with the pod2man output, feel free to include it if it's any use. cheers, Ian. -- Ian Beckwith - i...@erislabs.net - http://erislabs.net/ianb/ GPG fingerprint: AF6C C0F1 1E74 424B BCD5 4814 40EC C154 A8BA C1EA =head1 NAME git-merge-changelog - git merge driver for GNU ChangeLog files =head1 DESCRIPTION The default merge driver of 'git' Balways produces conflicts when pulling public modifications into a privately modified ChangeLog file. This is because ChangeLog files are always modified at the top; the default merge driver has no clue how to deal with this. Furthermore the conflicts are presented with more EltEltEltElt EgtEgtEgtEgt markers than necessary; this is because the default merge driver makes pointless efforts to look at the individual line changes inside a ChangeLog entry. This program serves as a 'git' merge driver that avoids these problems. =over 4 =item Z1. It produces no conflict when ChangeLog entries have been inserted at the top both in the public and in the private modification. It puts the privately added entries above the publicly added entries. =item Z2. It respects the structure of ChangeLog files: entries are not split into lines but kept together. =item Z3. It also handles the case of small modifications of past ChangeLog entries, or of removed ChangeLog entries: they are merged as one would expect it. =item Z4. Conflicts are presented at the top of the file, rather than where they occurred, so that the user will see them immediately. (Unlike for source code written in some programming language, conflict markers that are located several hundreds lines from the top will not cause any syntax error and therefore would be likely to remain unnoticed.) =back =head2 For git users: =over 4 =item - Add to .git/config of the checkout (or to your $HOME/.gitconfig) the lines [merge merge-changelog] name = GNU-style ChangeLog merge driver driver = /usr/bin/git-merge-changelog %O %A %B =item - In every directory that contains a ChangeLog file, add a file '.gitattributes' with this line: ChangeLogmerge=merge-changelog (See man 5 gitattributes for more info.) =back =head2 For bzr users: =over 4 =item - Install the 'extmerge' bzr plug-in listed at Lhttp://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/plugins/en/index.html Lhttp://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/BzrPlugins =item - Add to your $HOME/.bazaar/bazaar.conf the line external_merge = git-merge-changelog %b %T %o =item - Then, to merge a conflict in a ChangeLog file, use $ bzr extmerge ChangeLog =back =head2 For hg users: =over 4 =item - Add to your $HOME/.hgrc the lines [merge-patterns] ChangeLog = git-merge-changelog [merge-tools] git-merge-changelog.executable = /usr/bin/git-merge-changelog git-merge-changelog.args = $base $local $other See Lhttp://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html section Bmerge-tools for reference. =back =head2 Use as an alternative to 'diff3': git-merge-changelog performs the same role as diff3 -m, just with reordered arguments: $ git-merge-changelog %O %A %B is comparable to $ diff3 -m %A %O %B =head2 Calling convention: A merge driver is called with three filename arguments: =over 4 =item Z1. %O = The common ancestor of %A and %B. =item Z2. %A = The file's contents from the current branch. =item Z3. %B = The file's contents from the other branch; this is the contents being merged in. =back In case of a git stash apply or of an upstream pull (e.g. from a subsystem maintainer to a central maintainer) or of a downstream pull with --rebase: =over 4 =item Z2. %A = The file's newest pulled contents; modified by other committers. =item Z3. %B = The user's newest copy of the file; modified by the user. =back In case of a downstream pull (e.g. from a central repository to the user) or of an upstream pull with --rebase: =over 4 =item Z2. %A = The user's newest copy of the file; modified by the user. =item Z3. %B = The file's newest pulled contents; modified by other committers. =back It should write its merged output into file %A. It can also echo some remarks to stdout. It should exit with return code 0 if the merge could be resolved cleanly, or with non-zero return code if there were conflicts. =head2 How it works: The structure of a ChangeLog file: It consists of ChangeLog entries. A ChangeLog entry starts at a line following a blank line and that starts with a non-whitespace character, or at the beginning of a file. The merge driver works as follows: It reads the three files into memory and dissects them into ChangeLog entries. It then finds

snapshots, debian, non-recursive-gnulib-prefix-hack
um, Hi. Sorry I vanished completely and stopped doing the gnulib snapshots, work has eaten my life for the last year. It's still doing it's best to consume me but I'm trying to claw back some time for at least some of the free software stuff I used to do. My guilt has finally triggered by gnulib being removed from Debian Testing for RC (release-critical) bugs, both of which it looks like can be fixed just by packaging a new snapshot, which I'm going to do over the next couple of weeks. Fortunately this happened after the stable debian release, so gnulib (snapshot 20120404) made it into the latest stable release (wheezy). Debian bug list is at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkgversion=dist=data=gnulibarchive=no As I haven't been following the list for the last year, is there anything I should know before doing the next snapshot or that might affect the debian packaging?

This is the only context in which I consider conservative a compliment :) This fix [1][2] could possibly have been included as well. It fixes a warning unknown option after #pragma GCC diagnostic that was introduced on 2012-02-08. It affects the 'regex' module (which many packages use) with all GCC versions from 4.3.0 to 4.5.3. On the other hand, it's only a warning. So, I don't really know what I would do if I were you... I saw that, but thought it's only a warning and didn't take it.

Hi, I've released a new stable snapshot. See attached NEWS.stable for details. At Bruno's suggestion, I avoided all the strerror-related patches. As a consequence, the period over which I cherry-picked patches is longer than normal, which explains why there are an unusually large number of cherrypicked commits.

Debian Squeeze has now been released, so I'm resuming uploading snapshots to debian unstable (sid) instead of experimental. They will then migrate (usually after 10 days) to the testing (aka wheezy) distribution. Squeeze was released with the 20100704 stable snapshot. I was going to do this snapshot last week, but it was just after a huge code dump of new modules so I thought I'd leave them to marinate for a bit. I suspect some of the __attribute__ patches I cherry-picked could have been skipped, but once I took some of the earlier ones I thought it best to take the whole series.

idpriv-drop test failure
Hi,
idpriv-drop fails its test suite:
chmod: cannot access `test-idpriv-droptemp': No such file or directory
./test-idpriv-drop.su.sh: 40: ./test-idpriv-droptemp: not found
Looks like a cut-and-paste error, patch attached.

The Autoconf manual, Shell Portability chapter, lists 1 2 13 15 as signals which are safe to trap.

Thanks, to you and everyone else for the analysis. I'll reassign the bug to checkbashisms and refer them to this discussion. which won't cause a syntax error but could lead to fallback options being chosen unnecessarily. Could these all be replaced by use of which(1)? which is not Posix, unlike type. Only the -p argument is not Posix, nor portable. But you already mentioned that this merely causes a fallback to be used, so this is not a problem.

bashisms
Hi,
I got a bug report in debian about bashisms in gnulib
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=581105).
Working with a POSIX shell is a release goal for debian squeeze,
along with a switch to dash as /bin/sh.
I had a look with checkbashisms (from the devscripts package in debian
and ubuntu). I've attached the output.
Most instances are either wrapped in tests for their existence, false
positives or otherwise OK, but there are a few I'm not sure about:
* trap with signal numbers
According to http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/trap.html
(btw, am I right in saying The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6
IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition is POSIX, or at least a part of
it?), POSIX requires signals specified as names (HUP, INT, etc),
although XSI allows numbers for certain signals (the ones used by
gnulib all fall into this category).
* type
All uses of 'type' are along the lines of:
possible bashism in gnulib-tool line 552 (type):
if (type -p readlink) /dev/null 21; then
which won't cause a syntax error but could lead to fallback options
being chosen unnecessarily. Could these all be replaced by use of
which(1)?
* shopt
Most uses of shopt are fine, but there is one I'm not sure about:
possible bashism in tests/init.sh line 112 (shopt):
test -n $EXEEXT shopt -s expand_aliases
Are there situations where $EXEEXT is set and bash is not running?
thanks,
Ian.

HOWTO and script for stable snapshots
Hi,
I've written a guide to creating stable snapshots, and a
script to help with the cherry-picking (both attached).
If you feel they are appropriate to be in the gnulib tree, feel free.
If so, would you prefer the guide in another format, eg texinfo?. If
not, well, they are now in the list archive and at:
http://erislabs.net/ianb/projects/gnulib/STABLE-HOWTO.html
http://erislabs.net/ianb/projects/gnulib/stable-cherry-pick
cheers,
Ian.

How to make a gnulib stable snapshot
by Ian Beckwith i...@erislabs.net
Last Update: Tue Apr 24 2010
Latest Version: http://erislabs.net/projects/gnulib/STABLE-HOWTO.html
BRANCHES
* upstream - tracks git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
* stable - the stable snapshot we produce, based on upstream
* master - the debian branch, based on stable (optional)
PROCEDURE
* if you don't already have a repository:
+ clone the gnulib repo:
$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
$ git branch -m master upstream
+ then either import the existing stable repo:
$ git remote add erislabs git://erislabs.net/gnulib.git
$ git fetch erislabs
$ git branch stable erislabs/stable
+ or, if that isn't possible, start from scratch:
$ git branch stable upstream
* update upstream branch:
$ git checkout upstream
$ git pull
* tag the current upstream HEAD for later use:
$ git tag snapshot-start upstream
* run the test suite:
$ git checkout upstream
$ ./gnulib-tool --create-megatestdir --with-tests --dir=t 21 | tee
create.out
$ cd t
$ ./do-autobuild 21 | tee ../build.out
$ cd ..
* find failing tests with:
$ grep -L rc=0 t/logs/*
* report any issues to bug-gnulib@gnu.org
* merge the current upstream version into the stable branch:
$ git checkout stable
$ git merge upstream
* resolve conflicts
$ git checkout upstream all conflicting paths except NEWS.stable
$ git commit -a
* wait a week or so
* update upstream branch:
$ git checkout upstream
$ git pull
* create list of commits to review:
$ git log --oneline --reverse --topo-order snapshot-start..upstream
../stable.log
* return to the stable branch
$ git checkout stable
* prepare NEWS.stable for new release.
+ add new header
+ add __NEXTCOMMITMARKER__ tag where you want commits to be logged
* for each commit in ../stable.log:
+ review each commit in ../stable.log:
$ git show commitid
+ if you want to cherry-pick that commit:
$ stable-cherry-pick commitid
(stable-cherry-pick source:
http://erislabs.net/ianb/projects/gnulib/stable-cherry-pick)
+ if the cherry-pick fails:
* resolve the conflict and commit, making a note of the new commitid
* fill in the new commitid in NEWS.stable, then commit
* remove __NEXTCOMMIT__ marker from NEWS.stable, commit
* test (see above). If testsuite fails, check whether bug exists
in upstream branch, report to bug-gnu...@gnu.org.
* remove the temporary snapshot-start tag
$ git tag -d snapshot-start
* tag the new release
$ git tag stable/yymmdd
* create and upload tarball:
$ git archive --format=tar --prefix=gnulib-yymmdd-stable/
stable/yymmdd | gzip -9 ../gnulib-yymmdd-stable.tar.gz
* push changes to stable git repository
* mail announcement to bug-gnulib@gnu.org

{f,}printf-posix test failure
Hi, printf-posix and fprintf-posix fail the test suite on debian stable and unstable, i386 and ia64. The problem seems to be the same, test-printf-posix2 and test-fprintf-posix2 fail at the same place. Looking at test-fprintf-posix2: gltests/test-fprintf-posix2.sh runs test-fprintf-posix2 1 which fails: (gdb) n 83 ret = fprintf (stdout, %.500f, 1.0); (gdb) n 84 return !(ret == 502 || (ret 0 errno == ENOMEM)); (gdb) p ret $1 = -1 (gdb) p errno $2 = 22 (22 == EINVAL) The problem seems to be in vasnprintf.c. vasnprintf.c:5023 calls SNPRINTF_BUF(arg); The expansion of SNPRINTF_BUF includes at vasnprintf.c:4919: retcount = SNPRINTF ((TCHAR_T *) (result + length), \ maxlen, buf, \ arg, count); \ which, if I'm understanding it right (USE_SNPRINTF is defined), calls the system's snprintf(), which returns -1.

select, nanosleep, mbslen, at-func2
Hi, select (LGPLv2+) and nanosleep (GPL) both need a dependency on sockets (LGPLv2+). Reported against gnuit: From: Nelson H. F. Beebe be...@math.utah.edu Several months ago, I successfully built gnuit-4.9.5 on 20+ flavors of Unix. Today, I tried a recent addition to our test laboratory: MirOS (http://www.mirbsd.org/), formerly known as MirBSD, and an offshoot of the OpenBSD development. Compilation failed in lib/mbslen.c because of a macro expansion of the name mbslen. I added protecting parentheses, and the build, validation, and installation then succeeded. The patch is trivial: % diff mbslen.c~ mbslen.c 29c29 mbslen (const char *string) --- (mbslen) (const char *string) It looks more like a workaround than a fix to me, hopefully you can figure out the right thing to do.

Attached are a list of clashes but note that if you apply my patches above, fts-lgpl also clashes with cloexec, fcntl-safer and dirent-safer. cheers, Ian -- Ian Beckwith - i...@erislabs.net - http://erislabs.net/ianb/ GPG fingerprint: AF6C C0F1 1E74 424B BCD5 4814 40EC C154 A8BA C1EA From dd61bef7bdb47efd882ce6a275cb8e0ae4e3684d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Beckwith i...@erislabs.net Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 14:16:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gnumakefile: depend on maintainer-makefile --- modules/gnumakefile |1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/modules/gnumakefile b/modules/gnumakefile index 483ff74..b6c31be 100644 --- a/modules/gnumakefile +++ b/modules/gnumakefile @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ Files: top/GNUmakefile Depends-on: +maintainer-makefile configure.ac: # Autoconf 2.61a.99 and earlier don't support linking a file only -- 1.6.4.3 From 9f75eb8936e40632090fe4f31940ef55fa51c6ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Beckwith i...@erislabs.net Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 14:17:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fts-lgpl: depend on cloexec fcntl-safer dirent-safer --- modules/fts-lgpl |3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/modules/fts-lgpl b/modules/fts-lgpl index 3a6f0ed..b09d7a0 100644 --- a/modules/fts-lgpl +++ b/modules/fts-lgpl @@ -12,6 +12,9 @@ fchdir i-ring openat stdbool +cloexec +fcntl-safer +dirent-safer configure.ac: gl_FUNC_FTS_LGPL -- 1.6.4.3 warning: module argp depends on a module with an incompatible license: dirname warning: module argp depends on a module with an incompatible license: exit warning: module argp depends on a module with an incompatible license: exitfail warning: module argp depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc warning: module argp depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc-die warning: module argp depends on a module with an incompatible license: xstrndup warning: module euidaccess depends on a module with an incompatible license: exit warning: module euidaccess depends on a module with an incompatible license: exitfail warning: module euidaccess depends on a module with an incompatible license: group-member warning: module euidaccess depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc warning: module euidaccess depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc-die warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: chdir-long warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: chown warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: d-ino warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: dirname warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: exit warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: exitfail warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: fdopendir warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: getcwd warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: lchown warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: openat warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: openat-die warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: save-cwd warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: unistd-safer warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc-die warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: xgetcwd warning: module fts-lgpl depends on a module with an incompatible license: xstrndup warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: dirname warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: double-slash-root warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: error warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: exit warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: exitfail warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: xalloc-die warning: module mkdir depends on a module with an incompatible license: xstrndup warning: module obstack depends on a module with an incompatible license: exit warning: module obstack depends on a module with an incompatible license

test suite problems
Hi, I've been trying out the test suite. relocatable-prog-wrapper is missing a dependency on double-slash-root. Quite a few modules fail gnulib-tool --create-megatestdir --with-tests with the error: executing automake --add-missing --copy Makefile.am: C objects in subdir but `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' not in `configure.ac' Of these modules, the ones I checked had AM_PROG_CC_C_O in module/configure.ac but not in module/gltests/configure.ac.

Re: License pedantry
Hi, Sorry about the delay replying. On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 10:08:01PM +0200, Bruno Haible wrote: Welcome! It was a bit unfortunate that gnulib was frozen in Debian for about a year, although gnulib attempts to be constantly moving and improving. See http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Steady-Development.html I'm planning uploading roughly monthly snapshots to the debian unstable distribution, However, due to the way debian release management works, once a package reaches the stable distribution, it can only be updated to fix security problems. This means that although users of the unstable and testing distributions will have a pretty up to date gnulib, users of the stable distribution will have a version that is potentially quite out of date. If you want to add value to gnulib, compared to the git repository, you might want to periodically update to a stable snapshot of gnulib. This means, for example, once in a month, take a snapshot of gnulib, then for a week watch closely all patches that go into gnulib's git repository, looking out for riskless fixes. Then publish a tarball with these fixes. This would be added value in terms of reliability/quality, because despite our efforts to not break the gnulib git, sometimes a particular module is broken for a day or two. OK. I'll definitely do this when its time for the stable debian release, and I'll give it a try monthly and see how it goes. I'm cautious of committing long-term to monthly stable snapshots until I know how much time it involves. Also, I see in http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gnulib that the formal dependencies listed in gnulib/DEPENDENCIES (make, autoconf, automake, bison, gperf etc.) are not listed among the Debian dependencies. These tools are all needed in order to execute gnulib-tool --create-testdir of the whole module set. Thanks, I'll fix this in the next version.

Read gnulib-intro.texi for why we think that snapshots of gnulib are counter-productive. um, oh. For what it's worth, the package does have users, and I think its useful to have it integrated with the system so things like documentation are available through the usual mechanisms. Hopefully the stable-snapshot thing in my other mail will placate you. There is a wishlist bug report in debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522187 suggesting an additional installer-style package for gnulib that downloads the latest version direct from the git repo. It occurs to me that it might be better to have as an option to gnulib-tool, maybe --git-clone or something along those lines, with maybe an option to set up a cron job to pull from the master repo (bad idea if they are going to hack on gnulib itself, but I assume most people won't). Do you think this is worth doing?

MacOS problem with checking whether strcasestr works in linear time
Hi, I received a report that the gnulib checking whether strcasestr works in linear time configure test on MacOS hangs for 3 to 4 hours before completing. Presumably this means the alarm() call in the test doesn't work. The version of gnuit with the problem is at: http://erislabs.net/ianb/tmp/gnuit-4.9.4-test5.tar.gz and config.log from the system with the problem is at: http://erislabs.net/ianb/tmp/config.log This is with gnulib from 2008-05-27 commit 9c504099 cheers, Ian. -- Ian Beckwith - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://erislabs.net/ianb/ GPG fingerprint: AF6C C0F1 1E74 424B BCD5 4814 40EC C154 A8BA C1EA Listening to: The Amazing Pilots - Soul's Island
