The Makefile was putting them in git-annex.linux/i18n/i18n, and so I18NPATH
did not point to the files. I think that on close enough to Debian systems,
localedef then fell back to using the system-wide locale files, while on
other systems it would fail to generate locales.
Currently only done for utf-8 locales because the charset can easily be
told for those. Other locales don't include the charset in their name.
The locale definition is generated under git-annex.linux/locales.
So, this only works if the user can write there.
If locale generation fails for any reason, it's silently skipped.
The git-annex-standalone.deb installs the bundle under /usr, so this locale
generation won't work for non-root users.
This was originally done in a7ef05a9, but got lost in some change to the
Makefile. Use CROSS_COMPILE=Android to tell configure that it's configuring
for android instead of passing it a parameter.
This actually runs faster than building the man pages from the makefile
did. But the main purpose is to let Setup.hs import Build.Mans and so not
need the makefile.
The tarball on hackage will include only the files needed for cabal install;
it is NOT the full git-annex source tree. While it's totally obnoxious that
cabal files need every file listed out when basic wildcard support could
avoid hundreds of lines, and have to be maintained when files are added,
this does get the tarball size back down to 1 mb.
This also stops stack from complaining that it found modules not listed in
the cabal file.
debian/changelog, debian/NEWS, debian/copyright: Converted to symlinks
to CHANGELOG, NEWS, and COPYRIGHT, which used to symlink to these instead.
This avoids needing to include debian/ in the hackage tarball.
Setup.hs: Build man pages at install time using make and mdwn2man.
If it fails, which it probably will on windows, just skip installing
them.
I needed BUILDEROPTIONS to allow passing flags to stack build, but it also
lets me move the -j1 out of the normal build path, and to debian/rules
which has the goal of having a reproducible build
This was in the cabal file earlier, and was removed because it broke the
android cross build. Moving to the git-annex target of the Makefile
will make it be used for Debian packages etc but not android cross builds
or make fast or when users build with cabal.
As a result of the Makefile changes, the Debian package is built
with various hardening options. Although their benefit to a largely
haskell program is unknown.
This needs a patch to git to cause the git-annex completion to be
auto-loaded when completing "git annex <tab>". Otherwise, it will only
load when "git-annex" is tab completed. Once loaded, it works for both
uses. I've submitted the git patch to the git mailing list.
