Hi all,
a followup to yesterday's and today's IRC discussion.
This patch adds a configure option --enable-build-info[=text]
If text is specified, it will print it on the second line of "squid -v".
If the option is given but no text is specified, configure will
attempt to determine whether we are in a bzr checkout and locate the
bzr executable. If both succeed, it will automatically build a text
string containing the branch nickname and revno.
If no option is given, nothing will happen.
This patch serves two purposes:
- help those who closely trail trunk or some other bzr branch to
easily pinpoint good revisions
- help those who develop custom builds (e.g. for a specific customer)
explicitly mark it as such.
Looks okay for the option itself. Have not had time to check it works,
but will assume you have.
For the testbed please use tab indentation on the indented lists.
Also please follow the levels intentions:
* default level leaves unspecified.
* minimal level forces --disable
* maximal level forces --enable (with any parameter string)
* no-deps level forces component --enable with any special
requirements forced --without. In this case it could be just forcing
--enable-build-info and the bzr auto-detect.
We will have to add a new level that just tests ./configure behaviour
instead of full build for the options which alter behaviour when
presented with a ="foo" string. That needs a more planning though since
only configure is needed there.
