Re-add everything necessary for recursively building all repos in a directory, e.g. as a build controlled by janware.com/Makefile or any other installation.
This adds 489 lines of code which can (and should) be massively reduced, notably removing code supporting CVS.
"Makefile" is used in dependency checks within projects-dir.mk. Since it might be included from projects-dir-minimal.mk, which also works with "GNUmakefile", make this fallback of a predefinable variable, PROJECTS_MAKEFILE_NAME.
Adapt projects makefile to match the mechanism all proj.mk's are supposed to find their JWBDIR. Namely make JWBDIR_NAME a conditionally assigned variable to allow for some testing of alternative jw-build trees.
In the attempt to move both jw-build and the janware toplevel Makefile from CVS to Git, add two new makefile snippets to make/*.mk:
- projects-dir-minimal.mk
A new toplevel-Makefile for building all projects in one go. It
should be suitable to be downloaded from janware.com/Makefile and
then be used to bootstrap all repos hosted on janware.com, that a
user has access to, just like the current toplevel Makefile is.
It is as small as possible: Little code means few assumptions on
what the world outside of it looks like, notably jw-build. This
is desirable, because it lives outside of version control, albeit
for a short while, and as long as it does, there's no mechanism
in place to keep it current.
That said, on first use, it replaces itself with a symbolic link
into jw-build and is then version controlled with jw-build.
- projects-dir-include.mk
This is essentially the existing projects-dir.mk /
toplevel-Makefile, which it includes. It's meant as a place for
adaptations to the next-generation implementation. This might
prove handy to have while both implementations coexist during the
transition phase.
jw-pkg determines the file attributes of template compilation output via a line matching the '^#\s*conf' regular expression. Allow that regex to be configured.
htdocs.mk's install relies on source code having its HTML contents installed in a subdir called "htdocs". Make that choice a variable named "HTML_STOPDIR_NAME".
Support the Makefile variables PY_INSTALL, PY_INSTALL_REG, PY_INSTALL_PYC, all defaulting to true. They can be set to false to stop installation of whatever file type is undesired in the target. A common use case for this are __init__.cpython-313.pyc, provided by a package the installing package depends on. The prerequisite package might already provide these files for common directories.
$(GETTEXT_PROJECT_POT) is always generated if $(GETTEXT_INPUT_FILES) are newer than it. Having this happen automatically is not useful, since it can break manually edited and version controlled $(GETTEXT_PROJECT_POT).
It appears that inkscape, if invoked from the command line, fires up a splash screen if it has enough time to do so. This leads to strange flickering during the build process. Unset DISPLAY in the attempt to keep that from happening.
