Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] RUNTIME_PREFIX relocatable Git
Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2018 22:50:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180319025046.58052-1-dnj@google.com> (raw)

This patch set expands support for the RUNTIME_PREFIX configuration flag,
currently only used on Windows builds, to include Linux, Darwin, and
FreeBSD. When Git is built with RUNTIME_PREFIX enabled, it resolves its
ancillary paths relative to the runtime location of its executable
rather than hard-coding them at compile-time, allowing a Git
installation to be deployed to a path other than the one in which it
was built/installed.

Note that RUNTIME_PREFIX is not currently used outside of Windows.
This patch set should not have an impact on default Git builds.

I'm dusting this back off now that avarab@'s Perl Makefile simplification
patch set has landed. It's been a few months, so I'm a bit rusty, but I think
that I've incorporated all of the feedback. Please take a look and let me know
what you think!

v5: https://public-inbox.org/git/20180108030239.92036-1-dnj@google.com/

Changes in v6 from v5:

- Rebased on top of "master".
- Updated commit messages.
- Updated runtime prefix Perl header comment and code to clarify when and
  why FindBin is used.
- With Johannes' blessing on Git-for-Windows, folded "RUNTIME_PREFIX_PERL"
  functionality into "RUNTIME_PREFIX".
- Updated "run-command" test to accommodate RUNTIME_PREFIX trace messages.

=== Testing ===

The latest patch set is available for testing on my GitHub fork, including
"travis.ci" testing. The "runtime-prefix" branch includes a "config.mak"
commit that enables runtime prefix for the Travis build; the
"runtime-prefix-no-config" omits this file, testing this patch without
runtime prefix enabled:
- https://github.com/danjacques/git/tree/runtime-prefix
- https://github.com/danjacques/git/tree/runtime-prefix-no-config
- https://travis-ci.org/danjacques/git/branches

Built/tested locally using this "config.mak" w/ autoconf:

=== Example config.mak ===

## (BEGIN config.mak)

RUNTIME_PREFIX = YesPlease
RUNTIME_PREFIX_PERL = YesPlease
gitexecdir = libexec/git-core
template_dir = share/git-core/templates
sysconfdir = etc

## (END config.mak)

=== Revision History ===

Changes in v5 from v4:

- Rebase on top of "next", notably incorporating the
  "ab/simplify-perl-makefile" branch.
- Cleaner Makefile relative path enforcement.
- Update Perl header template path now that the "perl/" directory has
  fewer build-related files in it.
- Update Perl runtime prefix header to use a general system path resolution
  function.
- Implemented the injection of the locale directory into Perl's
  "Git/I18N.pm" module from the runtime prefix Perl script header.
- Updated Perl's "Git/I18N.pm" module to accept injected locale directory.
- Added more content to some comments.


Changes in v4 from v3:

- Incorporated some quoting and Makefile dependency fixes, courtesy of
  <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>.

Changes in v3 from v2:

- Broken into multiple patches now that Perl is isolated in its own
  RUNTIME_PREFIX_PERL flag.
- Working with avarab@, several changes to Perl script runtime prefix
  support:
  - Moved Perl header body content from Makefile into external template
    file(s).
  - Added generic "perllibdir" variable to override Perl installation
    path.
  - RUNTIME_PREFIX_PERL generated script header is more descriptive and
    consistent with how the C version operates.
  - Fixed Generated Perl header Makefile dependency, should rebuild
    when dependent files and flags change.
- Changed some of the new RUNTIME_PREFIX trace strings to use consistent
  formatting and terminology.

Changes in v2 from v1:

- Added comments and formatting to improve readability of
  platform-sepecific executable path resolution sleds in
  `git_get_exec_path`.
- Consolidated "cached_exec_path" and "argv_exec_path" globals
  into "exec_path_value".
- Use `strbuf_realpath` instead of `realpath` for procfs resolution.
- Removed new environment variable exports. Git with RUNTIME_PREFIX no
  longer exports or consumes any additional environment information.
- Updated Perl script resolution strategy: rather than having Git export
  the relative executable path to the Perl scripts, they now resolve
  it independently when RUNTIME_PREFIX_PERL is enabled.
- Updated resolution strategy for "gettext()": use system_path() instead
  of special environment variable.
- Added `sysctl` executable resolution support for BSDs that don't
  mount "procfs" by default (most of them).
