/home/runner/work/systemd/systemd/tools/check-version-history.py:26:
FutureWarning: This search incorrectly ignores the root element, and will be fixed in a future version.
If you rely on the current behaviour, change it to './/funcprototype/funcdef/function'
can be seen in CI output. So let's apply the suggestion.
All those files are standalone programs that can be executed directly.
Some .py files were marked executable, others weren't, probably accidentally.
Mark them all as executable in preparation for subsequent changes.
We get the same warning thousands of times:
/work/src/tools/check-version-history.py:28: FutureWarning: This search incorrectly
ignores the root element, and will be fixed in a future version. If you rely on the
current behaviour, change it to
"./refsynopsisdiv/funcsynopsis/funcprototype/funcdef/function[.='udev_device_get_properties_list_entry']"
We also need to update the ignorelist to the new form.
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.
