Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Use PATH_SUFFIXES to search more common packaging locations.
On Windows, we can use suffixes to search in the standard Program Files
locations without hard-coding the C:/ path.
On Ubuntu/Debian, starting with PostgreSQL 9.3 the header file pg_type.h
is moved to a separate package (from libpq-dev to postgresql-server-dev)
and consequently the file pg_type.h is moved to a new location:
/usr/include/postgresql/<version>/server/catalog/pg_type.h
While at it, use separate PATH_SUFFIXES variables for library, type and
include (this is merely an optimization).
Some platforms, Fedora 20 and RHEL 7 in particular, will have multiple
pg_config_${arch}.h files all included by the top level pg_config.h.
This checks all of the available pg_config*.h headers for version
information.
Instead of directly passing $ENV{SOMEVAR} to a find_* call pass in ENV SOMEVAR.
This will make sure the paths will get correctly handled through different
platforms, especially on Windows.
Also fixes one place where paths with windows delimiters (\) were hardcoded to
use forward slashes.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
