[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/12] Rework the gettext handling

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This patch series is an aggregation of the gettext rework by Maxime, Thomas,
and I.

See this post for the 6 first patches:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-July/055871.html

    [PATCH 01/12] gettext: remove option to build statically
    [PATCH 02/12] gettext: remove the gettext-target make target, unused
    [PATCH 03/12] gettext: remove libintl handling
    [PATCH 04/12] Remove all references to libintl
    [PATCH 05/12] gettext: convert to autotools-package
    [PATCH 06/12] doc: update after gettext changes

The following 2 patches fix two packages in preparation for the end of the
series:

    [PATCH 07/12] package/lshw: add missing dependency on gettext
    [PATCH 08/12] package/pulseaudio: fix build-dependency on gettext

See this post for an explanation for the next 4 patches:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-August/058042.html

    [PATCH 09/12] toolchain/common: rename BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT
    [PATCH 10/12] pkg-infra: ensure gettext gets built before all other packages
    [PATCH 11/12] toolchain/common: introduce blind options BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT{,_IF_LOCALE}
    [PATCH 12/12] packages: use the new gettext mechanism

The complete series has been build-tested with all packages touched by the
series. Except for gmpc, which fails to build because it does not link with
-lm (thus has missing symbol floor(3) with my uClibc-based toolchain), all
other packages were built OK.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 03/12] gettext: remove libintl handling

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>

Now, the gettext package always:

 * install everything to the staging directory
 * install the libraries to the target directory

Note that this commit removes BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL without updating the
packages, it is done in a separate commit to ease the review process.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 04/12] Remove all references to libintl

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>

From now on, packages only need to select the BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT
option and depend on the 'gettext' package to get the necessary i18n
libraries installed on the target.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 08/12] package/pulseaudio: fix build-dependency on gettext

[Yann E. MORIN]

In its Config.in, pulseaudio declares a dependency on gettext
using the documented construct:
    select BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT if BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT

but in its .mk file, declares a dependency on the package:
    PULSEAUDIO_DEPENDENCIES = [...] $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT),gettext) [...]

instead of the documented:
    $(if $(BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT),gettext)

Fix that.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 10/12] pkg-infra: ensure gettext gets built before all other packages

[Yann E. MORIN]

If the gettext package is selected, it means that the toolchain does not
provide gettext functionality, and that at least one package needs it.
Thus, the gettext package needs to be built before any such package.

So far, packages that need gettext declare an explicit conditional
build-dependency upon gettext, thus ensuring that gettext be built
before they are.

But if gettext was built first, packages would no longer need to declare
such an explicit build-dependency.

As it is not easy to ensure that gettext be the first package, we can also
declare it as a dependency of all packages (except itself, of course).

[Buildroot] [PATCH 11/12] toolchain/common: introduce blind options BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT{, _IF_LOCALE}

[Yann E. MORIN]

Introduce two new blind config options:
  - BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT
        selects the gettext package if the toolchain does not provide it
  - BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE
        ditto, but only if locales are enabled

Packages can then select either if they require gettext (resp. if locales
are enabled).

This will simplify the packages Config.in by no longer requiring that the
'select' be conditional, thus hiding the gory details out of packages,
which don't really need to know about those details.

Also, introduce two new Makefile variables:
  - $(gettext-LDFLAGS)
        contains the required LDFLAGS ("-lintl") if gettext is provided by
        the gettext package, empty otherwise
  - $(gettext-LDFLAGS-if-locale)
        ditto, but only if locales are enabled

Packages can then add either variable to their own LDFLAGS.

Note: those two new options and variables are going to be used in the next
patch, for now they are a no-op.

  I don't like this.  I don't like the idea of having redundant dependencies,
I don't like to have a single thing that everything depends on, I don't like
the $(filter-out ...) construct.

  I also don't like that it breaks the build when the toolchain depends on some
package (sstrip, ccache, ...).

  Possible alternatives:

  * Use a construct similar to patch 11/12: $(gettext-dependency) which is
nothing unless gettext is enabled.

  * Move this dependency into the toolchain logic - which means duplicating
it three times so maybe not such a good idea...

Well, it's not ideal. I am not too fond of it either.

The reason for this patch was to avoid adding gettext to _DEPENDENCIES,
because packages have different ways of doing so:
  ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT),y)
  xxx_DEPENDENCIES += gettext
  endif
or:
  xxx_DEPENDENCIES += $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT),gettext)

Without counting packages that test:
  BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT
  BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT
  BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE

and packages that need to add explicit link against -lintl

But I'll drop that patch.

Ah, I did test with an external toolchain.

Will do that.

Not sure I understand this... O_o

Thanks for the review!

  All the more reason not to do it :-)

  I'm currently running a test build with the whole patch series (barring 10/12 and 12/12) - result in an hour or so.

  In the last BR developer meeting, we agreed not to use the Reviewed-by: tag,
but only the Acked-by: tag.  It should be used when you've reviewed the
patch and you would commit it if you had commit access.


  Another thing: it was actually Samuel Martin who initiated this patch
series.  However, the original patches were rewritten so completely by
Thomas and Maxime that it doesn't make sense to keep his Signed-off-by.
To be able to keep some of the credit, I propose to add a Cc: tag in
such a situation.


  Finally, for the whole series except 10/12 and 12/12:
Tested-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <arnout@mind.be>
(build-test with a minimal x86 config)

  And:
Acked-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <arnout@mind.be>


  I'm pretty much in favour of committing patches 1 to 9 now.  The first
six have had plenty of time for review, 7 and 8 are fairly obvious
bugfixes, and 9 is a mechanical rename.

  Arnout

I don't like it either, and I don't think I like those alternatives
either.

I prefer keeping the explicit dependency in the packages, because I
don't like things that are too magic.

OK. So, to whoever commits these patches, you can change my
Reviewed-by into an Acked-by

  With $(gettext-dependency), the dependency is explicit.  You'll see
in Yann's next patch series :-)

I'd suggest we wait yet a little tiny bit until later tonight (+0200),
I will re-submit the whole series with your comments (and ack/tst).
