| Description: | When working on Asterisk in a git repository by mirroring the main one with git-svn, the svn:externals "symbolic links" are difficult to emulate. There is a poorly nearly-half-working substitution using git submodules. But with the changing externals in Asterisk it is not fun to work with. For that reason I decided I want to replace menuselect with a version that is as compact as possible and yet has all the functionality I need. The new version currently only operates in batch mode. It takes configuration from a simple config file (currently named build_tools/conf) and generates the usual files menuselect generates. See the script for complete documentation. Also included is a Makefile to provide dummy targets for the menuselect directory and to generate empty files that menuselect may depend on in the main makefile. Known limitation: does not support "conflicts". Adding it would probably take much extra work (basically: saving a snapshot of the current state on each new candidate evaluated). And there is currently only one conflict that doesn't yet bother me personally :-) . ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Tested on 1.4 and tested to build on trunk. The script is a single perl script. On each run it currently reads every source file. I have not tried yet to optimize this or any other aspect (e.g.: the excessing accesses to 'keys %ModInfo long after I stopped adding entries there. most of them are to go directly to 'sort' afterwards). Still not as much as the configure script that would core right before it. Currently it only gives an irritating delay if the files of the asterisk source are not in the cache, That is, if you run it twice, the second run will be fast enough. I'll worry about performance later. | ||

By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2008-09-02 14:39:50 Fixed handling of XML inputs. I'm still not sure what to do about the extra devmode CFLAGS.

If you can't move this forward, please reassign as necessary. Thanks!
