[PATCH 02/24] gitweb: Prepare for splitting gitweb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Prepare gitweb for having been split into modules that are to be
installed alongside gitweb in 'lib/' subdirectory, by adding

  use lib __DIR__.'/lib';

to gitweb.perl (to main gitweb script), and preparing for putting
modules (relative path) in $(GITWEB_MODULES) in gitweb/Makefile.

This preparatory work allows to add new module to gitweb by simply
adding

  GITWEB_MODULES += <module>

to gitweb/Makefile (assuming that the module is in 'gitweb/lib/'
directory).

While at it pass GITWEBLIBDIR in addition to GITWEB_TEST_INSTALLED to
allow testing installed version of gitweb and installed version of
modules (for future tests which would check individual (sub)modules).


Using __DIR__ from Dir::Self module (not in core, that's why currently
gitweb includes excerpt of code from Dir::Self defining __DIR__) was
chosen over using FindBin-based solution (in core since perl 5.00307,
while gitweb itself requires at least perl 5.8.0) because FindBin uses
BEGIN block, which is a problem under mod_perl and other persistent
Perl environments (thought there are workarounds).

At Pavan Kumar Sankara suggestion gitweb/Makefile uses

  install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY

format (2nd format) with single SOURCE rather than

  install [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST

format (1st format) because of security reasons (race conditions).
Modern GNU install has `-T' / `--no-target-directory' option, but we
cannot rely that the $(INSTALL) we are using supports this option.

The install-modules target in gitweb/Makefile uses shell 'for' loop,
instead of make's $(foreach) function, to avoid possible problem with
generating a command line that exceeded the maximum argument list
length.

In previous version there was a BUG: shell variables should not be in
single quotes.

This is fixed version, the same as in

  [PATCHv7.4 0/4] Gitweb caching v7.4
  Message-ID: <1291404335-25541-1-git-send-email-jnareb@xxxxxxxxx>
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/162830

series, which are a bit fixed up and a tiny bit cleaned up version of
"Gitweb caching v7" series from John 'Warthog9' Hawley:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/160147


Sidenote: this patch can serve as a way to introduce infrastructure
required for splitting gitweb into modules for better maintability.
This issue was to be first part (first milestone) for "Integrated web
client for git" GSoC2010 project by Pavan Kumar Sankara (with Christian
Couder as mentor, and Petr 'Pasky' Baudis as co-mentor)... which
unfortunately failed middterm evaluations.

As you can see later in series it makes it very easy to add new gitweb
modules which are to be installed.  Just add

  GITWEB_MODULES += Module/Foo.pm

to gitweb/Makefile for Module::Foo (present in gitweb/lib/Module/Foo.pm)
and 'install-gitweb' target would automatically install it along with
gitweb.
