The git submodule porcelain must be executed from the top level of the
work tree. Use 'git rev-parse --show-cdup' to find the top level
relative to the source tree. This is better than searching up the tree
for .git ourselves because it will always work the same way Git does and
thus honors settings like GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM.
Commit c3781efb (Support Git upstream branch rewrites, 2010-06-08)
assumed that ".git/FETCH_HEAD" exists inside the source tree. Fix the
implementation to handle a work tree using a ".git file" to link to its
repository. Use "git rev-parse --git-dir" to locate the real .git dir.
If .git/FETCH_HEAD provides no merge candidate do not attempt to update.
Also log FETCH_HEAD lines as we parse them since they are essentially
output from the git fetch command.
Use 'git fetch' followed by 'git reset' to update the source tree. This
is better than 'git pull' because it can handle a rewritten upstream
branch and does not leave local modifications. After fetch, parse
FETCH_HEAD to find the merge head that 'git pull' would choose to track
the upstream branch. Then reset to the selected head.
In the normal fast-forward case the behavior remains unchanged.
However, now local modifications and commits will be erased, and
upstream rewrites are handled smoothly. This ensures that the upstream
branch is tested as expected.
Teach (create|run)_dashboard_script macros to treat the argument as the
name of a build tree. Append '.cmake' to generate the dashboard script
name. This allows future re-use of the macros for multiple test
scripts.
Commit 82c081ba (Fix rpath-link flag for SunPro C++ on Linux,
2009-07-13) taught CMake to pass '-rpath-link' because SunPro C++ 5.9
does not support '-Wl,'. Now SunPro C++ 5.11 does not recognize the
option without using '-Wl,'. Detect whether to use '-Wl,' based on the
output of "sunCC -flags".
Commit 67277bac (Teach ctest_update about Git submodules, 2010-05-04)
accidentally logged "git submodule update" with the prefixes "pull-out"
and "pull-err". Fix it to use "submodule-out" and "submodule-err"
instead.
The CopyFileIfDifferent, CopyFileAlways, CopyAFile and CopyADirectory
methods should always copy permissions. The special cases in which a
caller would pass copyPermissions=false should be handled at the call
site. The parameter needlessly complicates the interface and semantics
of these methods.
Use it from ExternalProject and the ExternalProject test's
CMakeLists file rather than having duplicate find_program calls.
Add logic so that we do not try to use *.cmd variants of git
programs when using the MSYS Makefiles generator. Should fix
the last remaining dashboard issue with the new ExternalProject
git support additions.
Also, correct minor problem regarding placement of the local git
repo during test execution. On clean builds, it was being placed
incorrectly because of the ../.. relative reference. Use an absolute
path to place the local git repo in the proper directory, and only
use the relative reference when referring to it.
If there is a .bat or .cmd file used as a custom command
then the Borland Makefiles generator (specifically) requires
using the "call " syntax before the name of the .bat or .cmd
file. This fix applies to all Makefile based generators where
WindowsShell is true.
On Windows 7 the file size reported by 'stat' on a new file sometimes
reports zero even though the real size is correct. This causes our
CopyFileAlways method to falsely detect copy failure. Work around the
problem by trusting the state of ofstream after writing the file.
Commit 0fafdb7e (Do not copy permissions of files when making the copy
in an install rule, 2008-12-18) added special behavior to KWSys file
copy methods for this special case. Use a local solution to avoid use
of the special behavior so it can be removed later.
Commit 8d0161c8 (Trust umask for file permissions, 2010-01-12) taught
these commands to set permissions to 0666 explicitly. The intention was
to let the open() call inside ofstream handle permsisions so that umask
would be honored. Now we set permissions only when we need to preserve
those on an existing file. New files will be created with umask-based
permissions.
The Intel C compiler for Linux does not seem to reject any bad flags or
object files on its link lines. Work around the problem by using a
preprocessor #error directive to ensure that BADFLAG appears in the
build output. This does not really achieve the purpose of the tests but
it allows them to pass.
