Yup, and we already use File::Spec everywhere anyway, so this is not a new dependency, either. Which is very good. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

In any case, Windows is not my bailiwick, so I'll hope that the above comments from you would help Dscho in his response and wait.

Indeed, the patch in question regards something I consider outside Git for Windows' realm. As Chris said, you can run this script from a PowerShell prompt, without any Git Bash (and without Git's Perl) involved. I am fine with this patch, as long as the author name is fixed to match the name in the Signed-off-by: footer ;-) [*1*] Ciao, Dscho Footnote *1*: This patch came in via GitGitGadget, and if I had infinite amounts of time, I would probably implement some rudimentary pre-checks, such as: does the Author: header match the first Signed-off-by: footer, is the commit message wrapped correctly, does the oneline have a prefix and continues lower-case, etc. And GitGitGadget would then point out the issues, possibly even try to fix them and push up the fixed commits. If anybody agrees with these goals and is curious enough to dive into some Typescript programming, I'd be very happy to guide that person through implementing this ;-) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

I do not think that perl/Git.pm is intended to run with any random Perl interpreter. It has to be one that has been verified to work correctly with the Perl code in perl/, and that code is notoriously reliant on POSIX behavior, hence our choice to go with MSYS2 Perl (there *is* a MINGW Perl package in Git for Windows' SDK, but it will most likely not work, in particular because of the missing Subversion bindings). So I would restrict the search to contrib/\*.pl, contrib/\*.perl and contrib/\*.pm. The stuff in contrib/ is supposed to be semi-independent from the particular Git one is using (and from whatever Perl is shipped with it, if any).

While the `contrib/buildsystems/engine.pl ` is not often used, it does provide a route for users of older Visual studio version. I'm not sure if the mingw environment is relevant to its operation - I'd expect it (the generation of an .sln that would compile) to still work with the current MSYS2 basis, but the `install` process was never fully completed (an probably isn't a worthwhile project unless you have the particular itch to scratch). The newer MSVC=1 build process using vcpkg has solved most of the issues, but I'm getting a couple of issues with some of the libraries/include paths with the latest VS2017, see issue #2186 / #2179 / https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/git-for-windows/Y99a0dzlVJY , though hopefully I'll get them sorted this week. > contrib/mw-to-git/git-remote-mediawiki.perl - this is cloned from a > separately maintained github project.

No need to resend, as the > receiving end manually fixed them up. I did send it manually, via the GMail interface (which I seem to be unable to use effectively). Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for fixing it up. For the record, you could also always just fetch from the tag. The mails GitGitGadget sends (unless I manually forward mails) are generated from those tags, so (modulo bugs) the sent patch and the commit(s) reachable from the published tag are identical. In this instance, it would have been: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git \ pr-59/webstech/master-v2 Thank you, Dscho ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
