Hi,
this small patch series collects various different smallish fixes for
issues with the build systems. The intent here is to bundle all of them
into a single series to make it a bit easier for Junio to keep track of
them.
More specifically, this series:
- Fixes an issue with handling "-Dcurl=auto" that I spotted recently.
- Replaces Sam's "sj/meson-test-environ-fix" [1] with an alternative
solution. The branch is currently in "seen".
- Picks up and massages Thorsten's patch from [2] to fix generation of
"gitweb.js". The fix has not yet been picked up by Junio.
- Picks up a cross-compilation fix for Meson [3]. There has been a bit
of discussion with Peter whether this is the proper fix, but based
on Eli's feedback it should be okay. I'm still open for alternative
implementations in case anybody has suggestions for how to do them.
Please let me know if any of you are unhappy with the way I have given
credit. I'm totally happy to change authorship or adjust trailers.
Changes in v2:
- Drop the fix for Perl-less documentation builds.
- Pick up the fix to use correct environment in our CI builds.
Johannes mentioned that he wants to eventually get rid of those
builds completely, but meanwhile this is a trivial change to make
the jobs do what they should.
- Pick up the improvement for cross-compiling Git.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250328-b4-pks-collect-build-fixes-v1-0-ead9deda3fbc@xxxxxx
Thanks!
Patrick
