As well as making a new release, I rewrote most of the Makefile, so that it
|
||||
uses cabal to build git-annex. This avoids some duplication, and most
|
||||
importantly, means that the Makefile can auto-detect available libraries
|
||||
rather than needing to juggle build flags manually. Which was becoming a
|
||||
real pain.
|
||||
|
||||
I had avoided doing this before because cabal is slow for me on my little
|
||||
netbook. Adding ten seconds to every rebuild really does matter! But I came
|
||||
up with a hack to let me do incremental development builds without the
|
||||
cabal overhead, by intercepting and reusing the ghc command that cabal
|
||||
runs.
|
||||
|
||||
There was also cabal "fun" to get the Android build working with cabal.
|
||||
And more fun involving building the test suite. For various reasons, I
|
||||
decided to move the test suite into the git-annex binary. So you can run
|
||||
`git annex test` at any time, any place, and it self-tests. That's a neat
|
||||
trick I've seen one or two other programs do, and probably the nicest thing
|
||||
to come out of what was otherwise a pretty yak shaving change that involved
|
||||
babysitting builds all day.
