Removes some auto-generated files still under version control.
It also moves the rule for generating NEWS into the Makefile.am
that's in the same directory as the output file to avoid confusion
* docs/libvirt-api.xml, docs/libvirt-refs.xml, NEWS: Remove
auto-generated files from source control
* Makefile.am: Add rule for generating NEWS file
* docs/Makefile.am: Remove rule for generating NEWS file
When "git pull" (or any other operation) brings in a new version of the
gnulib git submodule, you must rerun the autogen.sh script. With this
change, "make" now fails and tells you to run ./autogen.sh, when needed.
* autogen.sh: Maintain a new file, .git-module-status, containing
the current submodule status. If it doesn't exist or its content
is different from what "git submodule status" prints, then run
./bootstrap
* .gitignore: Add .git-module-status
* cfg.mk: Diagnose out of date submodule and fail.
* README-hacking: Update not to mention bootstrap.
* Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .git-module-status,
so that "make maintainerclean" will remove it.
* bootstrap (modules): Add gnumakefile and maintainer-makefile.
* GNUmakefile: Remove file, now provided by gnulib.
* Makefile.maint: Remove. Replaced by maint.mk from gnulib.
.gitignore: Add GNUmakefile and maint.mk.
* cfg.mk (prev_version_file): Disable this feature.
Setting this to /dev/null avoids an otherwise harmless diagnostic.
This makes it so we record (via a git submodule)
a snapshot of whatever version of gnulib we're using,
and none of gnulib sources are in the libvirt repository.
The result is that we have as much reproducibility as when
we version-controlled imported copies of the gnulib sources,
but without the hassle of the manual process we used when
syncing with upstream.
Note that when you clone libvirt, you get only the libvirt
repository, but when you first run ./bootstrap, it clones
gnulib (at the SHA1 recorded via the submodule), creating
the .gnulib/ hierarchy. Then, the bootstrap script runs
gnulib-tool to populate gnulib/ with the files that make
up the selected modules.
Put the following in your ~/.gitconfig file.
[alias]
syncsub = submodule foreach git pull origin master
The update procedure is simple:
git syncsub
...build & test...
git commit -m 'gnulib: sync submodule to latest' .gnulib
* .gitmodules: New file.
* .gnulib: Initialize.
* bootstrap: Set up to use the new submodule.
Stop using --no-vc-files.
Don't remove .gitignore files.
Don't use or create .cvsignore.
Diagnose an invalid --gnulib-srcdir=DIR argument.
* build-aux/vc-list-files: Delete file, now pulled from gnulib.
* build-aux/useless-if-before-free: Likewise.
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove gnulib/lib/gai_strerror.c, since
it no longer contains translatable strings.
* gnulib/*: Remove gnulib/ hierarchy.
* .cvsignore: Don't ignore *.orig or *.rej. They're not build products.
Don't ignore the entire m4 directory.
* Makefile.maint (sync-vcs-ignore-files): Correct quoting.
Use sed rather than a for loop.
Search only version-controled files (for reproducibility)
* gnulib/lib/netinet/.cvsignore: Append missing newline-at-EOF,
so that the use of sed doesn't mistakenly concatenate lines.
* gnulib/lib/sys/.cvsignore: Likewise.
* m4/.cvsignore: Ignore acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4, not *.m4.
* .hgignore: Regenerate.
* all .gitignore files: Regenerate.
* Makefile.maint (sync-vcs-ignore-files): New target.
