Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
POSIX says that ‘echo FOO’ produces implementation-defined output
if FOO contains leading ‘-’, or ‘\’ anywhere, so don’t assume GNU
behavior in that case.
* Makefile.in (removenullpaths): Remove.
(epaths-force): Rewrite to avoid the need for ‘echo’.
(install-etc): Be clearer about escaping the shell metacharacters
‘\’ and ‘$’.
* Makefile.in (install-arch-indep, install-etcdoc):
* admin/charsets/mapconv, admin/merge-gnulib, admin/merge-pkg-config:
* admin/quick-install-emacs, build-aux/gitlog-to-emacslog:
* configure.ac, lib-src/rcs2log, make-dist:
* src/Makefile.in (lisp.mk):
Don’t assume ‘echo’ outputs ‘\’ and leading ‘-’ unscathed.
For example, use ‘printf '%s\n' "$foo"’ rather than ‘echo "$foo"’
if $foo can contain arbitrary characters.
* lisp/Makefile.in (TAGS): Use ‘ls’, not ‘echo’, to avoid ‘\’ issues.
* doc/lispref/two-volume.make (vol1.pdf):
* test/etags/make-src/Makefile (web ftp publish):
Use ‘printf’ rather than ‘echo -e’.
Mostly this just changes ` to ' in static text. Some exceptions:
* INSTALL.REPO: Use curved quotes, as the diagnostic in question
typically does that now.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (TRY, top level):
Use straight quoting in diagnostics.
* src/README: Fix working-directory confusion.
The class of problems that this was designed to detect, namely .elc
files getting corrupted by being passed around by email via uuencode
or somesuch, has not been a relevant concern for many years.
* lib-src/test-distrib.c, lib-src/testfile: Remove.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (DONT_INSTALL): Remove test-distrib.
(test-distrib${EXEEXT}): Remove rule.
* make-dist: Do not distribute lib-src/testfile.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (AVOID): Remove testfile and test-distrib.
* INSTALL, etc/PROBLEMS, admin/notes/unicode:
Remove references to test-distrib and testfile.
* lisp/loadup.el: Just use unversioned DOC.
* Makefile.in (install-doc): DOC file is not version specific any more.
* .bzrignore: Don't ignore DOC-* any more.
* admin/quick-install-emacs: Don't prune DOC-* files a any more.
* doc/lispref/loading.texi (Autoload):
* doc/lispref/help.texi (Documentation Basics, Accessing Documentation)
(Accessing Documentation, Accessing Documentation): DOC-* is now DOC.
* etc/.gitignore: Don't ignore DOC-* any more.
* lib-src/makefile.w32-in ($(DOC)): Use DOC rather than DOC-X.
* msdos/sed1x.inp: Don't rewrite DOC any more.
* nt/makefile.w32-in (clean, top-distclean): DOC-X doesn't exist any more.
* src/Makefile.in (bootstrap-clean): DOC-* doesn't exist any more.
* src/makefile.w32-in (DOC): Use just "DOC".
This script isn't used by Emacs, and I can't imagine anyone else is
using it any more either... From the commentary:
"This script is intended to be used to convert files with an
old-Emacs-style version history for use with VC (the Emacs 19
version-control interface), which likes to use RCS as its back end."
* lib-src/rcs-checkin: Remove file.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (INSTALLABLE_SCRIPTS, STAMP_INST_SCRIPTS):
Remove rcs-checkin.
(stamp-rcs-checkin): Remove.
* INSTALL, make-dist: Remove rcs-checkin.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (PUBLIC_LIBSRC_SCRIPTS): Remove rcs-checkin.
* doc/man/rcs-checkin.1: Remove.
* configure.in: Do not preprocess src/Makefile.in.
(cpp_undefs, CPP_NEED_TRADITIONAL): Remove.
(AC_EGREP_CPP): Test no longer needed.
* configure: Regenerate.
* config.bat: Do not preprocess src/Makefile.in.
* make-dist: No more Makefile.c files.
* INSTALL, src/README: Makefiles are not preprocessed.
* src/Makefile.in, src/autodeps.mk, src/deps.mk, src/ns.mk:
Convert comments to Makefile format.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (distclean): No more Makefile.c.
* src/Makefile.in (bootstrap-clean): No more Makefile.c.
* admin/notes/cpp: Remove file.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (AVOID): No more Makefile.c files.
* etc/PROBLEMS, etc/MACHINES: Remove details of cpp problems which can
no longer occur.
quick-install-emacs: Use mkdir --verbose only when requested
2005-03-02 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.org>
* admin/quick-install-emacs: Only use the mkdir --verbose option if the
script's --verbose option was specified (this avoids problems with
default usage on systems where mkdir doesn't support that option).
Tweaks to admin/quick-install-emacs
* quick-install-emacs: Remove fns-* pruning, since that file no
longer seems to be generated.
(AVOID): Quote literal periods. Quote braces in a way acceptable
to all parties (gawk gets bitchy about using `\').
