POSIX says that ‘echo FOO’ produces implementation-defined output
if FOO contains leading ‘-’, or ‘\’ anywhere, so don’t assume GNU
behavior in that case.
* Makefile.in (removenullpaths): Remove.
(epaths-force): Rewrite to avoid the need for ‘echo’.
(install-etc): Be clearer about escaping the shell metacharacters
‘\’ and ‘$’.
* Makefile.in (install-arch-indep, install-etcdoc):
* admin/charsets/mapconv, admin/merge-gnulib, admin/merge-pkg-config:
* admin/quick-install-emacs, build-aux/gitlog-to-emacslog:
* configure.ac, lib-src/rcs2log, make-dist:
* src/Makefile.in (lisp.mk):
Don’t assume ‘echo’ outputs ‘\’ and leading ‘-’ unscathed.
For example, use ‘printf '%s\n' "$foo"’ rather than ‘echo "$foo"’
if $foo can contain arbitrary characters.
* lisp/Makefile.in (TAGS): Use ‘ls’, not ‘echo’, to avoid ‘\’ issues.
* doc/lispref/two-volume.make (vol1.pdf):
* test/etags/make-src/Makefile (web ftp publish):
Use ‘printf’ rather than ‘echo -e’.
Mostly this just changes ` to ' in static text. Some exceptions:
* INSTALL.REPO: Use curved quotes, as the diagnostic in question
typically does that now.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (TRY, top level):
Use straight quoting in diagnostics.
* src/README: Fix working-directory confusion.
The class of problems that this was designed to detect, namely .elc
files getting corrupted by being passed around by email via uuencode
or somesuch, has not been a relevant concern for many years.
* lib-src/test-distrib.c, lib-src/testfile: Remove.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (DONT_INSTALL): Remove test-distrib.
(test-distrib${EXEEXT}): Remove rule.
* make-dist: Do not distribute lib-src/testfile.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (AVOID): Remove testfile and test-distrib.
* INSTALL, etc/PROBLEMS, admin/notes/unicode:
Remove references to test-distrib and testfile.
* lisp/loadup.el: Just use unversioned DOC.
* Makefile.in (install-doc): DOC file is not version specific any more.
* .bzrignore: Don't ignore DOC-* any more.
* admin/quick-install-emacs: Don't prune DOC-* files a any more.
* doc/lispref/loading.texi (Autoload):
* doc/lispref/help.texi (Documentation Basics, Accessing Documentation)
(Accessing Documentation, Accessing Documentation): DOC-* is now DOC.
* etc/.gitignore: Don't ignore DOC-* any more.
* lib-src/makefile.w32-in ($(DOC)): Use DOC rather than DOC-X.
* msdos/sed1x.inp: Don't rewrite DOC any more.
* nt/makefile.w32-in (clean, top-distclean): DOC-X doesn't exist any more.
* src/Makefile.in (bootstrap-clean): DOC-* doesn't exist any more.
* src/makefile.w32-in (DOC): Use just "DOC".
This script isn't used by Emacs, and I can't imagine anyone else is
using it any more either... From the commentary:
"This script is intended to be used to convert files with an
old-Emacs-style version history for use with VC (the Emacs 19
version-control interface), which likes to use RCS as its back end."
* lib-src/rcs-checkin: Remove file.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (INSTALLABLE_SCRIPTS, STAMP_INST_SCRIPTS):
Remove rcs-checkin.
(stamp-rcs-checkin): Remove.
* INSTALL, make-dist: Remove rcs-checkin.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (PUBLIC_LIBSRC_SCRIPTS): Remove rcs-checkin.
* doc/man/rcs-checkin.1: Remove.
* configure.in: Do not preprocess src/Makefile.in.
(cpp_undefs, CPP_NEED_TRADITIONAL): Remove.
(AC_EGREP_CPP): Test no longer needed.
* configure: Regenerate.
* config.bat: Do not preprocess src/Makefile.in.
* make-dist: No more Makefile.c files.
* INSTALL, src/README: Makefiles are not preprocessed.
* src/Makefile.in, src/autodeps.mk, src/deps.mk, src/ns.mk:
Convert comments to Makefile format.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (distclean): No more Makefile.c.
* src/Makefile.in (bootstrap-clean): No more Makefile.c.
* admin/notes/cpp: Remove file.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (AVOID): No more Makefile.c files.
* etc/PROBLEMS, etc/MACHINES: Remove details of cpp problems which can
no longer occur.
quick-install-emacs: Use mkdir --verbose only when requested
2005-03-02 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.org>
* admin/quick-install-emacs: Only use the mkdir --verbose option if the
script's --verbose option was specified (this avoids problems with
default usage on systems where mkdir doesn't support that option).
Tweaks to admin/quick-install-emacs
* quick-install-emacs: Remove fns-* pruning, since that file no
longer seems to be generated.
(AVOID): Quote literal periods. Quote braces in a way acceptable
to all parties (gawk gets bitchy about using `\').
