Most of those were dropped in 7d247d3cb8. I left
behind the few cases where the 'output' name was different from the target name.
But we actually don't need those either, so get rid of those. (And one case
where I missed the name argument.)
No functional change, except that e.g. 'ninja -C build update-man-rules-impl'
doesn't work, but I hope nobody was using that.
Those were added before 0.61 which is our minimum version.
Dots were dropped from the end of some messages. Most messages did not have the
trailing dot.
0.63 added support for multi-line f-strings. We can't use those yet.
- pass our system include directories to make generators use our libc
wrappers and latest kernel headers,
- include relevant headers in generated gperf file,
- use files() rather than find_program(), as the result of
find_program() cannot be passed to 'input' of custom_target(),
- move generate-bpf-delegate-configs.py to src/core/, as it is only used
by libcore.

We specify >= 0.62 as the supported version, so drop the duplicate name in all cases
where it is the same as outputs[0], i.e. almost all cases.

The targets that create indicies have
`install : want_html and have_lxml` but some other
code like the `install_symlink` was not gated by
accident.
We ican put the whole loop behind have_lxml as its
required for all the indicies.
Now our baseline of meson is 0.62, hence install_symlink() can be used.
Note, install_symlink() implies install_emptydir() for specified
install_dir. Hence, this also drops several unnecessary
install_emptydir() calls.
Note, the function currently does not support 'relative' and 'force' flags,
so several 'ln -frsT' inline calls cannot be replaced.
Unfortunately, sd-bus-vtable.h, sd-journal.h, and sd-id128.h
have variadic macro and inline initialization of sub-object, these are
not supported in C90. So, we need to silence some errors.
This way the man pages are installed only when the corresponding binary is
installed. The conditions in man pages and man/rules/meson.build are adjusted to
match the conditions for units in units/meson.build.
This changes the doc-sync meson target from a simple rsync command to a
script that:
* puts the documentation in a subdirectory according to the version
* injects a bit of javascript to add a drop-down to switch between versions
* updates an index.json file with the newly uploaded version
* keeps the latest/ directory up to date with the latest version
* supports a --no-latest switch to be used when uploading older versions
This adds a new script tools/check-version-history.py and a corresponding
test when building in developer mode. It checks manpages (except dbus
documentation which is handled by update-dbus-docs) for missing version
history information.
It also adds ignore lists based on version 183 (the version that our version
annotations go back to). These can be augmented if we want to ignore other
elements if it doesn't make sense for them to have version annotations.
The entries are sorted by speed. Some fields are left empty when there is no
clear value to use. The table is much longer now, but I think it's better to
document the allowed values, even if some are not terribly useful.
Fixes#26256.
The update-man-rules and update-dbus-docs targets are both declared in the
main meson.build and man/meson.build, so we cannot build the target with
'meson compile' command:
====
$ meson compile update-man-rules
INFO: autodetecting backend as ninja
ERROR: Can't invoke target `update-man-rules`: ambiguous name.Add target type and/or path:
- ./man/update-man-rules:custom
- ./update-man-rules:run
====
Let's rename the targets declared in man/meson.build.
GIT_VERSION is not available as a config.h variable, because it's rendered
into version.h during builds. Let's rework jinja2 rendering to also
parse version.h. No functional change, the new variable is so far unused.
I guess this will make partial rebuilds a bit slower, but it's useful
to be able to use the full version string.
Currently, running "meson build" followed by "meson test -C build"
will result in many failed tests due to missing dependencies. This
commit adds the missing dependencies to make sure no tests fail.
When using "capture : true" in custom_target()s the mode of the source
file is not preserved when the generated file is not installed and so
needs to be tweaked manually. Switch from output capture to creating the
target file and copy the permissions from the input file.

This undoes part of 4c890ad3cc: the
implementations of update-dbus-docs and update-man-rules are moved back to
man/meson.build, and alias_target() is used to keep the visible target names
unchanged.
The rules for man pages are reworked so that it's possible to invoke the
targets even if xstlproc is not available. After all, xsltproc is only needed
for the final formatted output, and not other processing.
This doesn't matter too much, but makes things a bit more consistent.
A minor advantage is that the file is not a configuration file for meson
anymore, so:
a) It is not built unless pulled in by another target. Since
we don't usually build man pages by default, this saves a tiny
amount of work.
b) When the .in file is updated, meson does not reconfigure everything,
but just rebuilds the dependent targets.
Now that the conversion is finished, time for benchmarking:
a full build with default settings (and -Dstandalonebinaries=true), yields
before this pull request: 1687 targets, 148.13s user 35.17s system 317% cpu 57.697 total
with the full pull request: 1714 targets, 143.07s user 27.87s system 314% cpu 54.369 total
The difference doesn't seem significant. Partial rebuilds might be faster as
mentioned before.
I want to stop using 'substs'. But in this case, configure_file() is nicer
than custom_target(), because it causes meson to immediately generate the
helpers after configuration, so it's possible to do
'meson build && build/man/man ...', without building anything first.
We only substitute one variable here, so let's use a custom configuration_data()
object.
Meson 0.58 has gotten quite bad with emitting a message every time

Let's suffer one message only for each command. Hopefully we can silence
even this when https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/8642 is
resolved.
Very old versions of meson did not include the subdirectory name in the
target name, so we started adding various "top-level" custom targets in
subdirectories. This was nice because the main meson.build file wasn't
as cluttered. But then meson started including the subdir name in the
target name. So let's move the definition to the root so we can have all
targets named uniformly.
Until now, update-man-rules assumed that the build directory was
a subdirectory of the project directory. When using mkosi, this is
not the case. We use find instead of git ls-files because git ls-files
does not seem to support outputting absolute paths.
Also, this makes update-man-rules a bit more user-friendly as new manpages
don't have to be added to the git staging area before they are processed by
update-man-rules.py.
This makes use of the developer mode switch: the test is only done
if the user opted-in into developer mode.
Before the man/update-dbus-docs was using the argument form where
we don't need to run find_command(), but that doesn't work with test(),,
so find_command() is used and we get one more line in the config log.
In the beginning, it was rather short, and reasonable to include inline.
Now it is long and unwieldy, let's split it out.
While at it, let's reindent and wrap using our current standards.
The name of the helper didn't match the name of the meson target, which was
always confusing me. With this change, we consistenly use "update" to
re-generate things which we otherwise keep in vc, and "make" for things
which are generated during each build.
The value is obviously bogus, but didn't seem to cause problems so far.
With meson-0.52.0, it causes a hang. The number of aliases is always rather
small (usually just one or two, possibly up to a dozen in a few cases), so
even if this causes some looping, it is strange that it has such a huge impact.
But let's just remove it.
Fixes#13742.
Tested with meson-0.52.0-1.module_f31+6771+f5d842eb.noarch,
meson-0.51.1-1.fc29.noarch.
Man page generation is generally very slow. I prefer to use -Dman=false when
developing systemd, and only build specific pages when introducing changes.
Those two little helper tools make it easy:
$ build/man/man systemd.link
$ build/man/html systemd.link
will show systemd.link.8 and systemd.link.html from the build directory build/.
