* tar-wrapper experimenttar-wrapper-experimentAndreas Gruenbacher2024-02-122-0/+216
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an attempt to create a better tar-wrapper that can be run in %prep context in a scratch directory, and create a copy of the extracted files in QUILT_WORKDIR. Try out as follows: $ cd experiment $ export QUILT_WORKDIR=work $ mkdir work $ PATH=.:$PATH $ wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.7.4.tar.xz $ tar -xaf linux-6.7.4.tar.xz # this creates linux-6.7.4/ and work/linux-6.7.4/ $ tar -xaf linux-6.7.4.tar.xz # when run again: Refusing to overwrite linux-6.7.4

* test: Loosen file removal checkJean Delvare2024-01-311-2/+3
| | | | | | | Files can be removed in any order, it isn't deterministic, so loosen the test to accept any order. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* Fix awk regexp escape sequenceJean Delvare2024-01-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | Gawk version 5.0.0 and later will complain when escaping a sequence in a regexp, which didn't need to be escaped. Drop the unneeded escape character to silent the warning. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>

* Add support for zst archivesAndreas Schwab2024-01-253-3/+16
| | | | | | | Add support for zstd compressed archives (*.tar.zst) and patches. [JD: Change the file output match pattern to "Zstandard compressed data" to prevent false positives.]
* config: Update install-sh to version 2016-01-11.22Jean Delvare2023-08-101-229/+454
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The install-sh script we ship has issues. It is not able to install multiple files at once, and is unable to create directories when all their parent elements do not already exist. Update to a more recent version of that script where these issues are fixed. Also set the executable bit so that the script can actually be run. This fixes bug #64430: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?64430 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* patches: Find file name with a space in unapplied patchesJean Delvare2023-08-102-3/+51
| | | | | | | | | | Fix the file name heuristic to also find quoted file names in unapplied patches. This fixes bug #41708: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?41708 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* diff/refresh: Quote file names which contain a spaceJean Delvare2023-08-102-10/+15
| | | | | | | | | GNU diff quotes file names which contain a space, and GNU patch expects that as well (oddly enough, only when the patch header does not include timestamps). Do the same so that the patches we generate can always be applied. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* pop: Hint at diff -z on failureJean Delvare2023-08-103-0/+3
| | | | | | | If a patch can't be removed cleanly, suggest running "quilt diff -z" to spot the pending changes. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* test: Fix a race condition in merge.testĐoàn Trần Công Danh2023-02-281-2/+4
| | | | | | | | Just like commit 4dfe7f9, (test: Fix a race condition, 2023-01-20), this fix a test race when stdout and stderr in any order. Signed-off-by: Đoàn Trần Công Danh <congdanhqx@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* test: Fix a race conditionJean Delvare2023-01-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The test suite does not differentiate between stdout and stderr. When messages are printed to both, the order in which they will reach us is apparently not guaranteed. Ideally this would be deterministic, but until then, explicitly test stdout and stderr separately in the test case itself. Otherwise the test suite fails randomly, which is a pain for distribution package maintainers. This fixes bug #63651 reported by Ross Burton: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?63651 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* backup-files: Fix hard link creation on SolarisJean Delvare2022-12-062-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ln defaults can be slightly different depending on the platform. While on Linux 'ln' defaults to 'ln -P', on Solaris (and possibly other platforms) it defaults to 'ln -L'. This difference is best resolved by explicitly using the '-P' flag. This fixes bug #63451: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?63451 Credits to the anonymous reporter. [JD: Propagate the fix to all occurrences of 'ln'.] Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* setup: Document the limitation of spec file supportJean Delvare2022-10-061-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Quilt setup can't be used on arbitrary spec files. Due to the fact that quilt only deals with patches, every other modification to the working tree has to happen first, and the patches must be applied last. This is a design limitation and not a bug, but document it so that the users are aware of it and can adjust the %prep section of their spec file if needed. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* patchfns: Rename quote_re() to quote_awk_re()Jean Delvare2022-09-091-9/+9
| | | | | | | Now that quote_bre() has been split into quote_re_grep() and quote_re_sed(), rename quote_re() to quote_awk_re() for consistency. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* Avoid warnings with grep 3.8Jean Delvare2022-09-094-11/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GNU grep version 3.8 became more strict about needless quoting in patterns. We have one occurrence of that in quilt, where "/" characters are being quoted by default. There are cases where they indeed need to be quoted (typically when used in a sed s/// command) but most of the time they do not, and this results in the following warning: grep: warning: stray \ before / So rename quote_bre() to quote_sed_re(), and introduce quote_grep_re() which does not quote "/". Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
* Man page: rewrite discussion of QUILT_COLORS configuration variableG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-85/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are ANSI escape sequences as defined by ECMA-48; recast the entire discussion in light of that fact. Condense the many tagged paragraphs with a templated discussion of defaults into a table. Sort the QUILT_COLORS format names into alphabetical order. Add a hint to the formatter (man) to call the tbl preprocessor to render the table. Expand the example to be more demonstrative. Add pointers to the ECMA-48 standard document and the console_codes section 4 man page (from Michael Kerrisk's man-pages project, widely available) to the See Also section. [JD: Some fixes, added patch_offs to the table, added a note that the patches command shares colors with the series command]
* Man page: make file tree diagram portableG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-14/+20
| | | | | | | Use the groff extension .schar to provide an alternative output sequence for output devices missing the Unicode box-drawing characters. [JD: removed a .fi request which I believed was restored by accident]
* Man page: wordsmith Files sectionG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-39/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Give working tree example a name that looks more like an actual software project's directory name. * Fix pronoun/antecedent agreement (multiple occurrences). * Tighten language (e.g., unnecessary use of "some"). * Reorganize discussion of how quilt finds its rc file to proceed strictly in the order attempted. * Leave breadcrumbs about EDITOR and LESS, which used to be part of this discussion; add cross-reference to where the material is now. * Make explicit the fact that quilt command names need to be manually up-cased for use in QUILT_COMMAND_ARGS. * Set configuration variable names in italics. * Transform a popular Denglish construction into idiomatic English. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/85069/is-the-construction-it-allows-to-proper-english * Clarify that "if set to anything" variables function as Booleans. * Recast "a shortcut to" as "shorthand for", which is more idiomatic English in context. * Add cross-reference to diffstat man page on first occurrence. * Fix typo: each commands -> each command. [JD: reverted 2 changes I did not like; fixes one more typo]
* Man page: wordsmith Environment sectionG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-8/+6
| | | | | | * Remove dependent clause used as a topic transition when this material was not in its own section. * Provide examples of when $EDITOR is used.
* Man page: wordsmith Exit Status sectionG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-6/+8
| | | | * Eliminate otherwise unused term "sub-command".
* Man page: wordsmith Options sectionG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-5/+6
| | | | | | | | * Don't introduce a metavariable without explaining it or using it in context. * Drop the reference to the PDF documentation which doesn't belong there. * Clarify options --trace and --version.
* Man page: wordsmith Description sectionG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-48/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Don't end a sentence with an abbreviation period if possible (also, man-pages(7) discourages the use of Latin abbreviations altogether). * Users of quilt are not merely outputting patches; they are consuming them and altering them as well. * Clarify the (shall we say) truncability of command names. * Use directional double-quotes instead of boldface to set off literals. Some typographers claim that frequent font face changes tire the eye. * Offer an example of a patch name. * Introduce the "quilt series" command in the same paragraph the series file itself is first described, to eliminate forward reference. * Introduce quilt command names only once each. * Add a paragraph summarizing the work cycle for starting and refining a new patch. [JD: Some editions and clean-ups]

| | | | Also add a clarifying introductory sentence.
* Man page: set file names and environment variable names in italicsG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-42/+87
| | | | | | | | Variable content in an italic context is set in roman for contrast, but still in italics in running roman prose. [JD: Revert some of the changes which did not belong there, and restored the original indentation level as I think it looked better]
* Man page: update internal and external cross-referencesG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-9/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | Embolden internal subsection reference, and refer to its parent section. Point explicitly to the GNU Diffutils manual regarding unified diff format, and add cross-reference in the See Also section. Add cross-reference to diffstat man page. Sort man page cross-reference list in alphabetical order.
* Man page: italicize work titlesG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-52/+107
| | | | ...including names of software projects (such as quilt itself).
* Man page: use "e.g." correctlyG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | The Latin "exempli gratia" is abbreviated "e.g.". Also, use a zero-width-space escape to defeat roff's end-of-sentence detection. See section 4.1 of CSTR #54, "Troff User's Manual", Ossanna & Kernighan <https://www.troff.org/54.pdf>.
* Man page: use character escapes for directional quotes and spacing tildeG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-49/+56
| | | | Also add quotation marks where they make semantic sense.
* Man page: make synopsis comprehensiveG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Document --quiltrc, --trace, and --version options explicitly. Separate the informational operation modes for reporting help and version information. Mark up synopsis canonically (literals in bold, variable content in italics, and roman for "synopsis language" (option brackets, etc.)). Use groff_man(7)'s SY and YS macros for more attractive presentation. [JD: Restore [options] and strip duplicate line]
* Man page: escape ASCII hyphen-minus characters used as suchG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-31/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | When a "literal" ASCII 45 hyphen-minus character is desired, it has to be escaped; this is a requirement going all the way back to Bell Labs Troff, but is frequently overlooked. Getting it right enables accurate cut-and-paste of code examples, filenames, URLs, and so forth from roff documents prepared for UTF-8 terminal and PDF output, possibly among others. See section 2.1 of CSTR #54, "Troff User's Manual", Ossanna & Kernighan <https://www.troff.org/54.pdf>.
* Man page: use groff_man(7)s EX and EE macros for examplesG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-10/+7
| | | | | | This eliminates the use of low-level requests in this man page (the groffism ".fam" to change the font family and the switching off and on of fill mode with ".nf" and ".fi".)
* Man page: use font macros instead of font escapesG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-17/+33
| | | | | Apart from being higher-level and easier to read, the macros get you proper italic corrections when abutting italic with non-italic text.
* Man page: reorganize sectionsG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-18/+21
| | | | | | | | Use only section names endorsed by man-pages(7), and put them in the recommended order. Use subsection macro (SS) where helpful. [JD: Preserve the EXAMPLE section as EXAMPLES]
* Man page: break input lines at all sentence endingsG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-119/+165
| | | | | | | Also reflow input lines to 72 columns. Both are recommended by *roff experts: https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/Input-Conventions.html
* Man page: eliminate or replace blank linesG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-83/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Blank lines are bad roff style. Per CSTR #54, blank lines are the equivalent of ".sp 1", but in GNU roff this can be overridden with a blank line macro (".blm"), and all macro packages for text formatting (mm, ms, me, man, etc.) have macros for paragraph separation, and the inter-paragraph spacing is usually different from ".sp 1" for typesetter output (this can be seen in PostScript and PDF output). Explicit spacing is also unnecessary immediately adjacent to section headings. See section 5.3 of CSTR #54, "Troff User's Manual", Ossanna & Kernighan <https://www.troff.org/54.pdf>. [JD: Added an empty request (.) before each section to preserve the readability of the input.]
* Man page: the man macro RE is given an argument when it does not need oneG. Branden Robinson2022-08-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This causes warnings from roff when the warning level is turned up really high, as some roff/man page hackers do. <standard input>:891: warning: number register `an-saved-margin2' not defined <standard input>:891: warning: number register `an-saved-prevailing-indent2' not defined Stop supplying the extraneous argument.
