- INSPIRCD_SOCKETENGINE_NAME is not really something that needs to
be user facing. If opers want to know this kind of internal info
then they can look at the build configuration.
- INSPIRCD_SYSTEM causes problems for reproducible builds and is
only accurate for the state of the system when InspIRCd is built
which is not useful in the slightest.
- Split the detection and compatibility checks into two different
steps (previously it was confusing as it would say the compiler
was not available when it was really not compatible).
- Fix a minor bug where compilers detected using xcrun on Darwin
would not have xcrun returned as part of the compiler name from
find_compiler.
The other code in that file will be removed very soon so it has
been left alone to avoid merge conflicts.
This will help prevent insp20 merge conflicts in the future.
This will help us determine whether a version has been packaged by
a downstream distribution who quite often make arbitrary changes
which are a pain to provide support for.
Debian, we're looking at you.
- Check the CXX environment variable inside find_compiler instead
of doing it separately.
- Use a test file instead of checking for version output. This
ensures we are using a working compiler.
- Pipe the output through run_test which makes debugging problems
considerably easier.
- Detect Xcode versions of Clang properly by returning the LLVM
version number instead of the Xcode one.
- Add a version number to the configure cache file.
- Disable configure cache file in non-interactive mode.
- Rename configure cache file to .configure.cache to avoid 2.0 files.
- Use run_test to produce the "reading .configure.cache" message.
- Clean up various minor sections of the code.
- Remove OpenSSL and GnuTLS detection plumbing.
- This will soon be the job of modulemanager.
- This did not work in non-interactive mode unlike --enable-extras.
- Rework runas user handling.
- Add the --gid configure option.
- Accept either an id or a name in --gid and --uid.
- Rework the question flow in interactive mode.
- User is no longer asked detailed questions unless they want them.
- Socket engine questions have been removed.
- Automatically enable non-interactive mode if STDIN or STDOUT are not
a tty.
- Move prompt_* methods to this module.
- Add methods for printing errors and warnings easily.
- Add colour code helpers and switch all code to use them.
- Removed support for changing the build directory using configure.
This can still be set using make BUILDPATH=foo.
- Removed support for SPLIT_CC builds. This is not documented
anywhere and is quite useless as it doesn't work.
- Remove STARTSCRIPT from configure; always install the perl
helper.
- Fix indentation of get_compiler_info and clean up slightly.
- Move module_installed to make::utilities.
- Remove promptnumeric (unused).
- Rename clean to cmd_clean and rewrite.
- Rename dir_check to prompt_bool and rewrite.
- Rename dumphash to dump_hash.
- Rename getcache to read_configure_cache and rewrite.
- Rename getrevision to get_revision.
- Rename makecache to write_configure_cache and rewrite.
- Rename promptstring_s to prompt_string and rewrite.
- Rename showhelp to cmd_help and rewrite.
- Rename update to cmd_update and rewrite.
- Rename yesno to prompt_bool and rewrite.
- Replace getmodules with a <src/modules/m_*.cpp> glob.
- Deduplicate getcompilerflags, getdependancies, getlinkerflags.
- Remove $NoPedantic (add -Wno-pedantic to $CompileFlags instead).
- Remove --enable-freebsd-ports-openssl and all related code (this
will be replaced with --no-pkg-config=[name] in the future).
- Remove some unused build system properties.
- Remove support for caching third party include and library paths
(can cause unexpected problems when they change).
- Add the data and log paths to dumphash.
- Always exit with EXIT_FAILURE on error.
- Always replace the old config.h with our new one.
- Clean up the ./configure --help message slightly.
- Install dhparams.pem into the conf directory on GnuTLS as well as
OpenSSL.
- Only show the users InspIRCd Git revision when building from Git.
- Remove a check for MinGW (we have proper Windows builds).
- Remove a check for FreeBSD 4 (released in 2000).
- Remove a ton of pointless tab-indented comments.
- Remove a ton of duplicate or unused variables.
- Remove the check for stdint.h (always available on TR1 compilers).
- Remove the $writeheader argument from writefiles (always 1).
- Remove the following %config options:
- DESTINATION (not used, always set to BASE).
- EXECUTABLE (always set to inspircd).
- OSNAME (duplicate of SYSTEM).
- Remove support for checking whether -extra modules are up to
date (if the user is installing they won't have any -extra
modules installed).
- Remove SSL generation messages (genssl provides these).
- Replace inappropriate uses of printf with print.
- Replace is_dir with -d from the Perl stdlib.
- Replace resolve_directory with rel2abs from the Perl stdlib.
- Rewrite getrevision to be more compact, cache the revision and
return 'release' on non-Git builds.
- Use consistent messages for all tests.
- Use tput to clear the screen in a portable way.
