[PATCH] Port to 12 other Platforms.

[Boyd Lynn Gerber]

This patch adds support to compile git on 12 additional platforms.
They are based on UNIX Systems Labs (USL)/Novell and SYS V
based OS's, SCO OpenServer 5.0.X, SCO UnixWare 7.1.4, OpenServer 6.0.X and
SCO pre OSR 5 OS's to build and run git.

Above info is neither in commit message, not in comment in some file.
It would be nice to have it in somewhere, and not only in mailing list
archives.

This was from my own copy of the master archive.  It is my proposal.  I 
thought you had to get an OK from this list before you do a push to the 
main archive.  Am I missing something?  I am new to this list and the 
proper methods for submitting patches.  I thought I was following the 
guidelines from 

http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;hb=HEAD

What am I missing?

You won't do a push, the maintainer will apply the patch if it seems
OK.

> What am I missing?

The format used to send patches. git format-patch and git send-email
would do that for you, but in particular : what comes after « --- »
and before the patch itself is ignored by the tools, just an
informative message for people reading your email. What comes before
this « --- » is the commit message.

I moved the message from above my commiter message because I was told to 
add comments after the --- with the file being modified.  The reasons for 
the modifications.  I used git format-patch -p -M -B origin to generate 
this email.  All I did was read the contents into the email I create for 
posting.  This was the advice I was given on IRC as the best method to 
create/send the patch.  When on IRC I was omitting the -p and was not 
getting the .patch file.  After reading the docs over and over I finally 
noticed I was missing the -p.  Once I added it I got the patch file and 
then I emailed it to the list.

Thanks,

By the way, if you want to send large series of patches, and you have
your git repository published somewhere (repo.or.cz, gitorious, github,
freedektop, kernel.org), sometimes pull request is used.  As you
usually use git-format-patch (perhaps together with git-send-email)
when sending patches, you can use output of git-request-pull there.

Just FYI, you can safely ignore above.

Strange.  While in git-diff family of commands '-p' means generate
diff in patchset format:

       -p     Generate patch (see section on generating patches).

it has different meaning (oops) in git-format-patch:

       -p     Generate patches without diffstat.

(What is probably a bug in git-format-patch it doesn't add "---\n"
separator between commit message and patch itself).


Everything between "---\n" after commit message (usually ending in
Signed-off-by) and the diffstat and patch is a transient comment,
which won't get included in commit message, and wouldn't be anywhere
in the repository, neither in contents not in commits.

What you put there is information which shouldn't be in commit message,
like for example difference from previous version of patch, sometimes
explanation behind _why_ of this patch; you put there to which branch
this patch applies, if it is not 'master' (por example if it requires
material from 'next') or if given patch depends on earlier patch NOT
in the series.

IMVVVHO you should put verbatim copy of certificate of origin there,
but put the comment about which operating systems needs which defines,
or use which defines, and why either in commit message, in comment in
some file, or both.

HTH (Hope That Helps).

I have setup a repo on www.zenez.com.

I just did a git clone give://www.zenez.com/git git.

I am trying to get various communities to use git.  So I want all there 
changes to go to my master repo.  I am trying to get those that still 
support/work on SCO OS's to embrase the Open Source Software (OSS) 
concepts and give back to the OSS community inspite of the SCO Group and 
what they are doing.  I am a firm believer of OSS Concepts.  I still have 
to support many SCO Systems.  My clients applicatios only run on them.  
But I want as much as I can to promote the OSS Concepts and have them 
become a major part of the business I support.  

Because of all the anti SCO I want them to have a safe place to use and 
provide good services for them.  Saddly, I do this because of my own 
experience with retrobuction from fanatics.  I have had over 650 GB over 
written with "DIE SCO"  I was away for a week and when I came back I had 
had a break-in on one system and that was the result.  I have had DOS 
attacks and many others.  So I am trying to be a bridge between the to 
communities and other communites to promote the true spirt of Open Source.

It might appear that many people somehow hate your patch and ganging up on
it, and if so I apologize for them and I assure you that they do not mean
ill.

There seem to be some confusion either in the SubmittingPatches document
or the way some suggestions have been given in the recent postings by
people, so let's clear it up first.

There are four different kinds of information you would want to convey
when you send patches to the list.  This is just a convention around here,
but the tool is built to support that convention, so you can consider it
the suggested BCP in any git managed projects that employ e-mail based
workflow.

 * What the patch is about, a short and sweet summary.  This should be
   something that can be used to identify the change and it should be easy
   to tell what it is about when viewed in "git log --pretty=oneline" or
   in "git shortlog" output.  This goes to Subject: line.

 * Justification for the patch.  When anybody views with "git show" the
   change after it gets committed, "how" the patch changes can be seen,
   but what cannot be easily seen is "why", and the commit message is the
   place to describe it.  This takes various forms, depending on the
   nature of the patch:

   * For a fix, describe how the status-quo is broken, what the desired
     behaviour should be, and discuss and defend why you chose this
     specific approach to fix among other possible avenues.  E.g. "If you
     use this and that option together, the command does this, which is
     not correct.  It should do that instead.  For that, we introduce
     helper function X and Y use them in each codepaths.  We could instead
     use a single helper that does X or Y depending on an option but these
     two codepaths are likely to evolve into doing even more different
     things, and using separate functions would be cleaner."

   * For an enhancement, describe in what situation the new feature is
     useful, defend why that use case is worth supporting, state how
     awkward (or perhaps impossible) to do the same thing is with the
     current set of features, and discuss and defend why you chose this
     specific approach to fix the awkwardness among other possibilities.
     E.g. "This adds a new feature X that works like this.  When you have
     Y and want to arrive at Z, with the current set of commands you would
     need to do W, but...".

   The point is to help people, who later wonder why the change was made
   and on what basis the author thought the change was necessary and/or
   sufficient back then when the change was made, understand the context.

   This comes at the beginning of the e-mail message, and is concluded by
   S-o-b line(s).

 * Supporting material that makes it easy to understand the particular
   iteration of the patch in the context of review discussion, things like
   "Compared to the previous round, I changed this and that, thanks to
   comments from X and Y."  Because only the final iteration will get
   committed in the final history, it does not make sense to include such
   information in the commit message.  This comes after the commit log
   message, and a single three-dash line is used to separate this part
   from the commit log message.

 * The change itself, aka "patch".  This comes at the end of the message.

Let's look at the pieces you have after --- (the first one is the only one
that counts).

    Makefile

    Add changes for System V, UnixWare, SCO OS's

This is something poeple can find out and guess by looking at the patch
itself, and is unnecessary, not even as supporting material.

    __USLC__ indicates UNIX System Labs Corperation (USLC), or a Novell-derived
    compiler and/or some SysV based OS's.

    __M_UNIX indicates XENIX/SCO UNIX/OpenServer 5.0.7 and prior releases
    of the SCO OS's.  It is used just like Apple and BSD, both of these
    shouldn't have _XOPEN_SOURCE defined.

These are valuable clues to anybody who is unfamiliar with (and/or do not
have an easy access to) these systems.  When people later want to touch
git-compat-util.h around the place where !defined(__USLC__) is used, they
would run "git blame" (or perhaps "git log -S__USLC__") to find your
commit that modified this line, and by looking at the commit log message
why you added these symbols on the #if line.  It would help protect your
changes from begin broken by them if you help them understand why these
are there, and the above two paragraphs should definitely go to the commit
log message.  They are not mere supporting material for this review cycle
alone.

"..., both of these shouldn't have" however could even be more helpful if
it was stated like "On these platforms, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE hides
definitions of X, Y and Z that we use, which is not what we want.", for
people who would want to know what specific breakage the change addresses.

It would change "Ok, somebody with SCO systems says this patch fixes
things for him" to "I see, if _XOPEN_SOURCE over there makes *that*
function unavailable, then we definitely shouldn't have _XOPEN_SOURCE
defined at this point of the header file".  IOW, it makes "Ok, I trust the
guy's judgement, even though the details are fuzzy to me" into "Ok, I
agree with his judgement".

This list has been very good.  The problem comes from other lists and 
personal assualts on my domain.

Yes, I was a bit confused but the docs/email/IRC.  I really apperciate the 
message below.  I really want to comply with the rules of this list and 
make sure my changes make it into the master/core source.

I agree.  I am not sure on some things but I will ask more later.

[PATCH] Port to 12 other Platforms.

This patch adds support to compile and run git on 12 additional platforms.
The platforms are based on UNIX Systems Labs (USL)/Novell/SYS V code base.
The most common are Novell UnixWare 2.X.X, SCO UnixWare 7.X.X,
OpenServer 5.0.X, OpenServer 6.0.X, and SCO pre OSR 5 platforms.

This is from

# 1 "/usr/include/netinet/tcp_f.h"

The problem is that git source  has blocked some typedefs
by excluding certain <sys/types.h> content.

Looking at the the various platform header, I see around line 450

#if defined(_KERNEL) || !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) \
     && !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)

The git source is covering the u_short typedef line and other typedefs
are also covered in the platforms.  They all lead back to the above
which comes from

git-compat-util.h

about line 66.  I had to make the following changes

#if !defined(__APPLE__) && !defined(__FreeBSD__)  && !defined(__USLC__) && !defined(_M_UNIX)
 #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600 /* glibc2 and AIX 5.3L need 500, OpenBSD needs 600 for S_ISLNK() */
 #define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 1 /* AIX 5.3L needs this */
 #endif

The _XOPEN_SOURCE hides many typedefs.

__USLC__ indicates UNIX System Labs Corperation (USLC), or a Novell-derived
compiler and/or some SysV based OS's.

__M_UNIX indicates XENIX/SCO UNIX/OpenServer 5.0.7 and prior releases
of the SCO OS's.  It is used just like Apple and BSD, both of these
shouldn't have _XOPEN_SOURCE defined.

Thanks.

I'll apply, but I'd reword the part on _XOPEN_SOURCE like this:

    Looking at the the various platform headers, I see around line 450:

            #if defined(_KERNEL) || !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) \
                 && !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)

    which hides u_short and other typedefs that other header files on these
    platforms depend on.  With _XOPEN_SOURCE defined, sources that include
    system header files that depend on the typedefs such as u_short cannot be
    compiled on these platforms.

Honestly, I'd have to say that such platform header files are buggy ;-)

If they want to use u_short and other custom types for their internal use,
that is understandable and perfectly fine, and if they want to hide these
names when _POSIX or _XOPEN is defined because you are not supposed to
contaminate the namespace, that is also sensible, but at the same time you
(not you, Boyd, but whoever developed the system header files) should have
taken an alternate measure (perhaps by using __u_short or something) not
to break the features they declare in the other header files of their own.

And not defining _XOPEN nor _POSIX would be a reasonable workaround to
the problem on such systems.

[PATCH] progress.c: avoid use of dynamic-sized array

[Boyd Lynn Gerber]

Dynamically sized arrays are gcc and C99 construct.  Using them hurts
portability to older compilers, although using them is nice in this case
it is not desirable.  This patch removes the only use of the construct
in stop_progress_msg(); the function is about writing out a single line
of a message, and the existing callers of this function feed messages
of only bounded size anyway, so use of dynamic array is simply overkill.

I agree, but getting various things changed is near impossible.  
Especially since they are either in a retired or unmaintained state.  
Although a few are still release updated products, they refuse to change 
them citeing backword compatibility.

This change will result in the allocated memory being leaked, which is
probably not correct.  Perhaps change it to alloca instead.

Subject: [PATCH] This patch is to allow 12 different OS's to compile and run git.

This patch has patches to

Makefile

progress.c

This patch allows some older OS's, SCO OpenServer 5.0.X, SCO UnixWare 7.1.4,
and OpenServer 6.0.X to build and run git.

I do not know the situation over there these days, but I have a distant
but bitter memory of having to deal with AIX X-<.  It insisted that
inclusion of <alloca.h> to be the very first thing in the source before
anything else.  I would want to keep alloca() out of the codebase without
very good reason.  Not that I care much about portability to AIX, but not
having to worry about alloca() unless necessary is a good thing.

I do not think progress_msg() is a good reason to even worrying about a
dynamically sized array.  The function is designed to spit out a single
line of message (so the incoming msg is expected to be shorter than 80
chars or so).  If you "git grep stop_progress_msg", you will see that
there are only two callers of this function, one in progress.c itself that
says "done", and the other one in index-pack.c that gives a string
formatted into 48-byte buffer.

So we can be lazy and say:

	char buf[128];
        ...
        snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ", %s.\n", msg)

and be done with it.

If you really wanted to be safe and anal, you could do something like
this, which would be just as efficient and much more straightforward:

You hit the nail on the head, AIX and any Novell derived Compiler code 
requires it.  Also the SCO OS's

Thanks for the suggestions.  I am making changes based on all the feed 
back.  I will remove all the debug junk from the final patch.  I am 
putting options in and out a lot at the moment.  Trying to make sure I do 
not break anything on the 12 OS's.  It is a real pain testing all the 
changes on them to make sure I did not break anything.

Thanks,

You don't need this, because CFLAGS is already -g -O2 -Wall, since we set 
it above and couldn't have changed it.

Static libraries don't support -Wall?

Again, this just sets it to what it must already be.

You might want to test something the person doing the build can put 
somewhere, rather than commenting out the lines you're not using.

I guess the patch text itself seems to be getting reasonable, and perhaps
the next few rounds would be to fix the commit log message ;-)

What makes SCO_SV so special that this platform specific tweak does not
live in "Platform specific tweaks" section like others?

CFLAGS is for the user to oerride from the command line, and I do not very
much like any tweaks in Makefile.  I'd suggest dropping this hunk.

I am only guessing what -Kalloca is, but is it for alloca(3), and if so do
you still need it?

Linewrapped patch?  It is very curious that you have + in front of "fined(_M_UNIX)".

I have it the same, without all the >> as I first posted, but I agree. 
that it needs some tweaking.

I only have the one section now.  I will look at it some more.

I will make tests without it on the next run.  It takes about 3 hours for 
me to get the patches to all the system review them and then run 
everything.  Some of the machines are really slow.

Where do you put your change log stuff, to explain why you made the 
change.  Maybe it is a bit left over from doing things for MySQL AB.

It is not line wrapped in my file.  I do the following after reverting 
every and strarting with a clean slate.

 cp -p .new/* . 
 git add Makefile git-compat-util.h progress.c
 git diff --cached
 git commit -s
 git format-patch -p -M -B origin

The last command above is creating the line wrapped because the line is so 
long.  I do not know enough to force the tools to not do that line wrap.

In the commit message. That is, if your commit message goes:

  Allow more systems to build git

  __USLC__ indicates a Novell-derived compiler or some SysV
  __M_UNIX indicates XENIX/SCO UNIX/OpenServer before 5.0.7
  Like Apple and BSD, both of these shouldn't have _XOPEN_SOURCE defined

then an interested user can use "git blame" on the file, and then read 
that info in the commit message for the commit that introduced those 
lines.

Also on the commit message: you should put the list of affected files 
after a line with just "---", so it appears in the patch but not in the 
commit; if we want to find out what the commit affects, we can use "git 
log --stat" and find out for sure. The explanation of the sign-off can 
probably go after the "---", too, although the "Signed-off-by" line should 
be above it.

So I should have

---
Makefile

Add changes for System V, UnixWare, SCO OS's

---
git-compat-util.h

__USLC__ indicates UNIX System Labs Corperation (USLC), or a 
Novell-derived compiler and/or some SysV based OS's.

__M_UNIX indicates XENIX/SCO UNIX/OpenServer before 5.0.7 and prior 
release of and SCO OS.  It is used just like Apple and BSD, both of these 
shouldn't have _XOPEN_SOURCE defined.

---
progress.c

Changes for older OS's that do not support the current methods for 
allocation of memory.

More like this:

    Subject: [PATCH] Port to other 12 platforms
    Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2008 21:46:48 -0600
    To: git@vger.kernel.org
    Cc: gitster@pobox.com

    This adds support to compile git on 12 platforms (<<whichever one you
    ported including UnixWare, SCO,... are listed here.>>).

    __USLC__ indicates UNIX System Labs Corperation (USLC), or a 
    Novell-derived compiler and/or some SysV based OS's.  __M_UNIX indicates
    XENIX/SCO UNIX/OpenServer before 5.0.7 and prior  release of and SCO OS.
    Like Apple and BSD, both of these do not want _XOPEN_SOURCE defined to
    allow use of <<the symbols that is hidden if you have _XOPEN_SOURCE
    defined>>.

without removal of dynamic-sized array from progress.c, which is not really
part of specific port to these 12 platforms, but is a more generic
"portability fix", which might read like this:

    From: Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>
    Subject: [PATCH] progress.c: avoid use of dynamic-sized array
    Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2008 21:46:48 -0600
    To: git@vger.kernel.org
    Cc: gitster@pobox.com

    Dynamically sized arrays are gcc and C99 construct.  It sometimes is
    nice to use them but hurts portability to older compilers.  This
    removes the only use of the construct in stop_progress_msg(); the
    function is about writing out a single line of message, and the
    existing callers of this function feed messages of only bounded size
    anyway, so use of dynamic array is simply overkill.

[PATCH] Port to 12 other Platforms.

[Boyd Lynn Gerber]

This patch adds support to compile git on 12 additional platforms.
The platforms are based on UNIX Systems Labs (USL)/Novell/SYS V code base.

This patch also adds support for Novell UnixWare 2.x.x, UnixWare 7.1.4 and 
older, OpenServer 5.0.7 and older OpenServer 6.0.X, and 
SCO pre OSR 5 platforms to build and run git.
