2019-04-16cleanup: use '$ibx' consistently when referring to Inbox refs
'$inbox' is more human-readable, so that is for the more human-readable name in most cases. Making our variable naming more consistent should make the code easier-to-review and harder to screw up.
2019-04-16www: remove unnecessary Git object reference
We access the Git object via the Inbox object nowadays, so there's no point in having a shortcut to it, anymore.
2019-04-15config: fix regression in repo.path => coderepo.dir mapping
We parse cgitrc for "repo.path", while we use "coderepo.dir" to mean the same thing for non-cgit users. So I ended up confusing myself, here. But then again, git uses "--git-dir" and "GIT_DIR", so I suspect "dir" is the better choice than "path", here
2019-04-15viewdiff: document constants
We'll be building off of this for showing diffs in the coderepo views.
2019-04-15config: support more cgit directives for project lists
Hopefully this gets us closer to matching cgit upstream behavior (which also lacks tests). We'll still need to support macro expansion at some point for compatibility...
2019-04-15cgit: serve static css, logo, favicon directly
We can reduce the configuration needed to run cgit by reusing the static file handling logic of the dumb git HTTP protocol. I hate logos and icons, so don't expect public-inbox.org or 80x24.org to ever have those to waste users' bandwidth with :P But I expect other users to find this useful.
2019-04-15config: support cgit scan-path and scan-hidden-path
project_list support still needs to be done And tests need to be written... :<
2019-04-04www: fix missing cgit fallback after legacy redirects
We need to instate our cgit handler everywhere we use NewsWWW to catch wildcard requests which our normal endpoints do not handle.
2019-04-04spawn: require soft and hard entries in RLIMIT_* handling
Our high-level config already treats single limits as a soft==hard limit for limiters; so stop handling that redundant in the low-level spawn() sub.
2019-04-04cgit: use a dedicated named limiter
I mainly need this to enforce RLIMIT_CPU (and RLIMIT_CORE) when requests come which generate giant, unrealistic diffs. Per-coderepo limiters may be added in the future. But for now, I need to prevent cgit from monopolizing resources on my dinky server.
2019-04-04qspawn: wire up RLIMIT_* handling to limiters
This allows users to configure RLIMIT_{CORE,CPU,DATA} using our "limiter" config directive when spawning external processes.
2019-04-04www: wire up cgit as a 404 handler if cgitrc is configured
Requests intended for cgit are unlikely to conflict with requests to inboxes. So we can safely hand those requests off to cgit.cgi.
2019-04-04cgit: support running cgit as a standalone CGI
We depend on git-http-backend for smart HTTP clone support, however; since cgit does not support smart clones natively. WWW.pm will be able to cascade down to this as a 404 handler in the future.
2019-04-04spawn: support absolute paths
cgit (and most other CGI executables) is not typically installed for use via $PATH, so we'll need to support absolute paths to run it.
2019-04-04githttpbackend: check for other errors and relax CRLF check
Reads to git-http-backend(1) could fail or EOF prematurely, so we must be ready for that case. Furthermore, cgit (and possibly other CGI) uses LF instead of CRLF, so support those programs, too.
2019-04-04githttpbackend: move more psgi.input handling into subroutine
This will be useful for other CGI wrappers we make. This also fixes a bug with some PSGI servers which did not present a real IO::Handle in the psgi.input env field.
2019-04-04support publicinbox.cgitrc directive
We can save admins the trouble of declaring [coderepo "..."] sections in the public-inbox config by parsing the cgitrc directly. Macro expansion (e.g. $HTTP_HOST) expansion is not supported, yet; but may be in the future.
2019-04-04spawn: support RLIMIT_CPU, RLIMIT_DATA and RLIMIT_CORE
We'll be spawning cgit and git-diff, which can take gigantic amounts of CPU time and/or heap given the right (ermm... wrong) input. Limit the damage that large/expensive diffs can cause.
2019-04-04viewvcs: match 8000-byte lookup for git
No need to scan the entire string, but prefer to match git behavior. This might be faster if/when Perl can create substrings efficiently using CoW. Fix a 80-column violation while we're at it.
2019-04-04viewvcs: preliminary support for showing non-blobs
Eventually, we'll have special displays for various git objects (commit, tree, tag). But for now, we'll just use git-show to spew whatever comes from git.
2019-04-04git: add "commit_title" method
This will be useful for extracting titles/subjects from commit objects when displaying commits.
2019-04-02githttpbackend: serve $GIT_DIR/info/attributes
This will be useful for reproducibility when mirroring coderepos and generating diffs.
2019-04-02viewvcs: check for premature EOF from git-cat-file
Not entirely sure what is causing this, but it appears to be causing infinite loops when attempting to display certain blobs. Fortunately, the fair scheduling of public-inbox-httpd prevented this from becoming a real problem aside from increasing CPU usage.
2019-03-12config: ignore missing config files
There's no reason for us to have git-config(1) warn users when a config file is entirely missing.
2019-03-08v2writable: index_sync adds new epochs to alternates
Newly-cloned epochs need to be in alternates file of all.git for the web and NNTP interfaces to work. So allow invocations of "public-inbox-index" to idempotently ensure the epoch is visible from the all.git repo.
2019-03-08v2writable: hoist out fill_alternates
We'll be using this sub to fill $GIT_DIR/objects/info/alternates if somebody uses clone --mirror, too
2019-02-27v2writable: fix epoch rollover on incremental imports
All of our internal epoch rollover calculations are done using the estimated unpacked (and uncompressed) size of the repo. The importer instance needs to check that unpacked size before selecting an epoch when an epoch already has packed data. This bug did not impact the initial mass imports since we only initialize the Import instance once-per-epoch and did not need to take existing epochs into account. Tested manually with -mda on a local clone of LKML Reported-by: Konstantin Ryabitsev <konstantin@linuxfoundation.org>
2019-02-23www: prevent '!important' in BOFH-specified CSS
CSS specified by the BOFH must never take precedence over what a user sets in userContent.css.
2019-02-23usercontent.pm: set "!important" to override BOFH prefs
The sample userContent.css needs a higher priority than what the BOFH specifies. In other words, user preference must ALWAYS take precedence. Reported-by: Dmitry Alexandrov <321942@gmail.com> cf. https://public-inbox.org/meta/87mumn4kx8.fsf@gmail.com/
2019-02-13ensure bytes::length is available to callers
We were relying on Danga::Socket using the "bytes" pragma, previously. Nowadays, the "bytes" pragma is not recommended in general, but bytes::length remains acceptable for getting the byte-size of a scalar.
2019-02-07nntp: get rid of long_response_limit constant
Unused since commit b8c41362f2a5c8fcc6b1846a79c72bfa77565297 ("nntp: simplify the long_response API")
2019-02-07http: cleanup partial-write handling on readonly values
Don't bother assigning to $_[1]; just let Danga::Socket do its thing since $_[1] should be out-of-scope soon.
2019-02-07daemon: favor Socket.pm in Perl 5.14+ for IPv6
Users on Perl 5.14+ are common, so we can try the bundled Socket (not "Socket6") module before attempting Socket6 for IPv6.
2019-02-07daemon: die properly when Socket6 is missing
We need to keep Unix-socket-only httpd instances working without Socket6. This fixes t/httpd-unix.t with Socket6 uninstalled.
2019-02-05Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/help-color'
* origin/help-color: wwwtext: inline sample CSS and use highlight hlmod: support "```$LANG" blocks in text hlmod: do_hl* performs src_escape immediately hlmod: make into a singleton hlmod: hoist out do_hl_lang sub viewvcs: cleanup utf8 handling
2019-02-05solvergit: include the $oid_want tmpdir name
This can help admins diagnose problems with SolverGit, since qspawn logs the failed "git apply" command-line in stderr. (or it can waste admins' time because sometimes there's crap mail clients which mangle patches)
2019-02-05wwwtext: inline sample CSS and use highlight
For user documentation regarding CSS; showing users the sample CSS with comments is probably more helpful than having standalone documentation on CSS classes.
2019-02-05hlmod: support "```$LANG" blocks in text
This is compatible with Markdown; but we still keep the WYSIWYG nature of plain-text with this. This is only intended for use with our documentation. Enabling any type of Markdown support for emails can lead to incompatibilities or interopability problems with alternative implementations.
2019-02-05hlmod: do_hl* performs src_escape immediately
We want to be able to take advantage of this in other modules
2019-02-05hlmod: make into a singleton
It turns out there's no point in having multiple instances of this or having to worry about destruction or destruction ordering. This will make it easier to reuse the one instance we have across different modules.
2019-02-05hlmod: hoist out do_hl_lang sub
We'll want to use to support highlighting syntax used by Markdown and possibly other markup languages (while retaining the raw plain-text layout and formatting).
2019-02-05viewvcs: cleanup utf8 handling
Favor in-place utf8::decode since it's a bit faster without method dispatch overhead; and don't care about validity just yet. HlMod->do_hl itself should return "utf8" strings, since other parts of our code can use it, so it's not the job of ViewVCS to post-process HlMod output.
2019-02-04viewdiff: group path match to not be confused by "/dev/null"
Leaving out parentheses caused transitions to state="del" or state="add" to be misidentified. cf. https://public-inbox.org/meta/20190204105454.GG10587@szeder.dev/ Reported-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com>
2019-02-01newswww: add /$MESSAGE_ID global redirector endpoint
This is the fallback for the normal WWW endpoint. Adding this to the top-level seems to be alright, since lynx and w3m both understand nntp://<HOSTNAME>/<Message-ID> anyways. If newsgroup and inbox names conflict, then consider it the fault of the original sender. Since NewsWWW is intended to support buggy linkifiers in mail clients, they can interpret nntp:// URLs as http://<HOSTNAME>/<Message-ID> Inbox ordering from the config file is preserved since commit cfa8ff7c256e20f3240aed5f98d155c019788e3b ("config: each_inbox iteration preserves config order"), so admins can rely on that to configure how scanning works. Requested-by: Konstantin Ryabitsev <konstantin@linuxfoundation.org> cf. https://public-inbox.org/meta/20190107190719.GE9442@pure.paranoia.local/ nntp://news.public-inbox.org/20190107190719.GE9442@pure.paranoia.local
2019-02-01viewdiff: support renames and long paths in diffstat anchors
This is best-effort, but works well-enough in practice for projects which use shell-friendly filenames as well as the long path names for some Linux kernel selftests.
2019-02-01viewdiff: escape HTML ampersand for renames
For URLs we generate, we need to escape '&' in query parameters for correctness.
2019-02-01viewvcs: allow '0' as a valid filename for blob downloads
Only to be pedantic...
2019-02-01linkify: support proto://hostname without trailing slash
Sometimes users will write "http://example.com" without the trailing slash, which every browser and tool I've tested seems to understand.
2019-02-01view: simplify quote splitting
Perl "split" can capture and group in the regexp itself, so rely on that to shorten our code. Comparing the /T/ HTML output of a thread from hell (on LKML with 1356 messages) reveals no difference in the rendered result. Only the HTML source differs in newline placement before/after the closing </span> This allows a minor speedup on my X32 Thinkpad @ 1.6GHz with the aforementioned LKML thread from hell: before: 3.67s after: 3.55s
2019-02-01view: fix broken hunk header hrefs in Atom feeds
We use absolute URLs in the Atom feeds (to ease syndication/mirroring), so hunk headers need to point to the solver URLs.
