Status for the libposix branch
|
|
------------------------------
|

Bruce Korb says:
|
|
|
|
I think a real big step in libposix is to get a little experience with it.
|
|
There are also some few little nits pointed out in the discussions that
|
|
need some careful consideration, but some experience in using it would
|
|
be good, too. The intended/expected usage is along the lines of:
|
|
|
|
1. configure, build and install the thing. Perhaps from:
|
|
https://autogen.sourceforge.net/data/
|
|
or roll your own, but the distribution should be there, I think.
|
|
|
|
2. fiddle a project to detect that it is "sufficiently recent" to
|
|
cover the needs of this unnamed project. That is an interesting
|
|
issue, though: the concept behind "configure" is that you do
|
|
feature tests rather than version testing. However, if you choose
|
|
to not test the version of libposix and test the features you
|
|
need of libposix, then I have an extremely difficult time trying
|
|
to understand the point of libposix -- you are back to running
|
|
a bunch of feature tests that take too long. Testing for a
|
|
libposix current as of some marker (version number or date)
|
|
seems right to me, though there are some caveats to consider
|
|
regarding "retired" POSIX features.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, the "fiddle a project" should boil down to testing
|
|
for libposix in some way and then dying if it is not up to snuff.
|
|
|
|
3. configure, build, test, install and test installation of said project.

[PATCH 0/7] contents of topic/libposix for merge to master

|
|
|
|
1) Allow generate header files to coexist without shadowing each other.

libposix needs to install only selected headers, not all of them. Let the
|
|
script look at the 'Include:' section of each module description.

Patch to be rewritten to use nobase_nodist_include_HEADERS,
|
|
also need to add an Automake conditional to distinguish libposix from
|
|
other projects.
|
|
Also see whether the Automake bug can be fixed.
