* i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettextab/enable-i18nÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2011-12-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation. This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act appropriately. This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to understand. The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various sub-parts of this commit. = Installation Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard $(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself. = Perl Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default. Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface) Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses. Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the $TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages. I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed necessary. See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for a further elaboration on this topic. = Shell Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh. If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris, which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to emulate eval_gettext() there. If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through wrapper. = About libcharset.h and langinfo.h We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set. The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is either saner, or the only option on those systems. GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either, but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset() instead. =Credits This patch is based on work by Jeff Epler <jepler@unpythonic.net> who did the initial Makefile / C work, and a lot of comments from the Git mailing list, including Jonathan Nieder, Jakub Narebski, Johannes Sixt, Erik Faye-Lund, Peter Krefting, Junio C Hamano, Thomas Rast and others.

* shell: add missing initialization of argv0_pathDima Sharov2011-05-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | According to c6dfb39 (remote-curl: add missing initialization of argv0_path, 2009-10-13), stand-alone programs (non-builtins) must call git_extract_argv0_path(argv[0]) in order to help builds that derive the installation prefix at runtime. Without this call, the program segfaults (or raises an assertion failure).

| * make git-shell paranoid about closed stdin/stdout/stderrPaolo Bonzini2008-08-291-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is in general unsafe to start a program with one or more of file descriptors 0/1/2 closed. Karl Chen for example noticed that stat_command does this in order to rename a pipe file descriptor to 0: dup2(from, 0); close(from); ... but if stdin was closed (for example) from == 0, so that dup2(0, 0); close(0); just ends up closing the pipe. Another extremely rare but nasty problem would occur if an "important" file ends up in file descriptor 2, and is corrupted by a call to die(). Fixing this in git was considered to be overkill, so this patch works around it only for git-shell. The fix is simply to open all the "low" descriptors to /dev/null in main.

* | Revert "Build-in "git-shell""Junio C Hamano2008-08-251-0/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit daa0cc9a92c9c2c714aa5f7da6d0ff65b93e0698. It was a stupid idea to do this; when run as a log-in shell, it is spawned with argv[0] set to "-git-shell", so the usual name-based dispatch would not work to begin with.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This trivially makes "git-shell" a built-in. It makes the executable even fatter, though. And MinGW removed git-shell only because of the funny dependencies; there is no reason to do so anymore.

* shrink git-shell by avoiding redundant dependenciesDmitry Potapov2008-06-271-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of modules that have nothing to do with git-shell functionality were linked in, bloating git-shell more than 8 times. This patch cuts off redundant dependencies by: 1. providing stubs for three functions that make no sense for git-shell; 2. moving quote_path_fully from environment.c to quote.c to make the later self sufficient; 3. moving make_absolute_path into a new separate file.

* Support cvs via git-shellJohannes Schindelin2007-10-151-1/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds cvs support to the git-shell; You can now give new users a restricted git-shell and they still can commit via git's cvs emulator. Note that either the gecos information must be accurate, or you must provide a $HOME/.gitconfig with the appropriate user credentials. Since the git-shell is too restricted to allow the user to do it (on purpose!), it is up to the administrator to take care of that. Based on an idea by Jan Wielemaker.

* Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Junio C Hamano2007-02-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Exec git programs without using PATH.Michal Ostrowski2006-01-131-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
