Hello everyone!
Since it may be annoying to support files inside pygnulib to be the same
as in gnulib, I've thought that it may be a cool idea to separate entire
pygnulib code from gnulib. What is the proposal?
I propose to accept the following hierarchy for pygnulib:
doc
README
LICENSE
INSTALL
python
pygnulib
__init__.py
constants.py
functions.py
GLConfig.py
GLEmiter.py
GLError.py
GLFileSystem.py
GLImporter.py
GLMakefileEditor.py
GLModuleSystem.py
GLPackage.py
GLPackageSystem.py
GLSystem.py
GLTestDir.py
GLTestFlags.py
gnulib-tool
install.py
Note that gnulib-tool now will be the name for the gnulib-tool.py.
What will do install.py script?
1. Copy pygnulib subdirectory to Python modules directory.
2. Clone git repository of the gnulib-tool (if directory with gnulib wasn't
set
with some option for install.py script) and move this repository to some
directory inside user's entire machine (e.g. to /usr/share/gnulib).
Also copy doc subdirectory to /usr/share/doc.
3. Adjust GNULIB_ROOT variable inside constants.py file to point to the
copied
(i.e. cloned and moved) gnulib git repository.
4. Copy gnulib-tool to /usr/local/bin directory.
gnulib-tool will accept a new "--fetch" function to update gnulib from git.
Such combination allows to separate gnulib files (at least before it will be
merged with gnulib original files). What do you think about it?
