[Plplot-cvs] CVS update notice (plplot/bindings/python)

[Rafael L. <rla...@us...>]

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot/bindings/python
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv27298/bindings/python

Modified Files:
	Makefile.am 
Log Message:

Removed some if/else/endif with_double constructs.  Replaced using
$(LIB_TAG). This makes code more maintainable and robust, besides a total
reduction of 40 lines in the size of the Makefile.am's.

The initial plan was to use $(LIB_TAG) wherever it was possible, but 
Automake does not accept it as part of its variables names :-(

In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv19082/bindings/python

Modified Files:
	Makefile.am 
Log Message:

Changed all the instances of "-L<dir> -l<lib>" to "<dir>/<lib>.la" for all
the libraries that are built in the source tree.  This avoids some (rather
rare) cases of failure, when the libtool script will wrongly select
installed system libraries.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot/bindings/python
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv26299/bindings/python

Modified Files:
	Makefile.am 
Log Message:

This is the brute force approach to get "make dist" to include (almost) all
the files that are present in a freshly checked out CVS tree.  The notable
exceptions are the directories cf/, new/, tmp/, and bindings/perl5. This was
essentially done by putting files in the EXTRA_DIST variable in the
Makefile.am files.

I really dislike this brute force method, but since we really need to make a
release soon, I see no way of doing otherwise.  I would prefer to take this
opportunity to remove some legacy cruft and to improve our installation in a
file-per-file basis.  For instance, in directory bindings/tcl, I added
blindly the files README.tclAPI and plitclgen to EXTRA_DIST, but it is clear
that they could be installed somewhere with "make install".  Same commentary
for the Python and Java stuff.  Since I am (almost) totally ignorant on
Python, Java and Tcl/Tk, I will really appreciate if competent developers
step in.

This cleanup + installation improvement discussion must take place in the
post-release times.

An aside note: the EXTRA_DIST variable (or the variables it uses) should not
be inside conditionals in Makefile.am, otherwise the distribution tarball
may be wrong.  This is not yet consistently done throughout the source tree.

Modified Files:
	Makefile.am 
Log Message:
Solve portability issues revealed by automake --warning=portability.  Also
remove installed *.la files and *.a files which are not needed by python.

Thanks to Rafael for his guidance in using install-exec-hook to implement
everything that needed to be done.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot/bindings/python
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv25437/python

Modified Files:
	Makefile.am 
Log Message:
Put the settings of variables CLEANFILES, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, and
EXTRA_DIST completely outside the AM conditionals.  This is necessary for
the proper working of make clean, make maintainer-clean and make dist.

This remembers me that we should fix many other Makefile.am files in the
project, where the use of AM conditionals is not really appropriate. As a
general rule, only variable definitions that trigger compilations should
appear inside AM conditionals.

Also, some stylistic changes have been done, like avoiding the use of
$(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES) as the target of makefile rules.  This change has no
functional impact currently, but is a prevention against maintenance
headaches in the future.

Modified Files:
	Makefile.am 
Log Message:
Add $(X_CFLAGS) to AM_CPPFLAGS so that netbsd can find where the X include
files (required indirectly by plplot_widgetmodule.c) are located.

Also, remove duplicate plplotc.py target that was recently put back in by
mistake.  Duplicate targets cause at least warnings on some platforms if
not outright make errors.

Updated Copyright notices by adding year 2003.  This does not cover all the
files changed this year (for instance, drivers/*.c are lacking), but this is
an important step for the legal release of PLplot 5.2.1.

Modified Files:

Log Message:
Drop -no-undefined from LDFLAGS for the creation of the module that will be
dynamically loaded by python. It makes no sense to resolve every reference
at link time since python will be supplying the references to the python
library names at dynamic load time. (Thanks to Rob Managan for his Mac OS X
error report on this issue.)

Log Message:
This jumbo cvs commit is the result of a herculean task to update the
copyright notices of most of the source files of PLplot.

I hope that I did not introduce any serious breakage.  This seems plausible,
because I did changes only at the beginning of the files and only in
commented lines.  However, I used a semi-automatic procedure for doing that
and some bugs may have slipped into the files.  The sources still build okay
(at least the Debian packages) and I can install the libraries, and compile
and run some C examples.  That is not enough, so PLEASE TEST!

This is what I did in more detail:

1) From the CVS ChangeLog, I considered all the files that changed since the
   last release (5.2.1).  I then added the line:

       Copyright (C) 2004  Joe C. V. S. Committer 

   where the name of the developper who did the CVS commit is included.
   
2) Notice that the year in the line above should read 2004, even if the
   changes were done last year, since Copyright years refer to when the
   software is released.
   
3) For the same reason, I did not bother adding missing Copyright entries
   for previous authors of each file.  One copyright holder is enough for
   our purposes.

4) I also reformatted and reworded the License Conditions text.  This
   included changing things like "This file is free software" to "PLplot is
   free sofware" and so on.
   
5) Finally, some files were lacking License notices, especially the src/*.c.
   I added them and put in the Copyright holder line the name of the
   developer who did the last cvs commit for the file.

If you wish to know where your name appears, you can run from the
$(top_builddir):

    grep -ri "copyright.*2004".
