Building and installing glibc leaves .mo files (compiled message
translations) behind in the source directory. Building those files in
the source directory may once have made sense, if they were included
in release tarballs; now that release tarballs are just the output of
"git archive", building any non-checked-in files in the source
directory does not make sense. This patch changes these files to be
built in the build directory instead. The realclean rule is changed
to simply adding the .mo files to the "generated" variable, since once
the files are in the build directory it make no sense to exclude them
from normal cleanup rules.
This is necessary but not sufficient to avoid build-many-glibcs.py
needing to copy the glibc source directory. Its list of files to
touch on checkout to avoid subsequent regeneration (configure,
preconfigure, *-kw.h) is incomplete (missing at least INSTALL,
sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c, posix/testcases.h, posix/ptestcases.h,
locale/C-translit.h, (only regenerated for Hurd builds)
sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/errno.h, (only regenerated for 32-bit SPARC
builds) sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/{sdiv,udiv,rem,urem}.S) - the existing
list may be sufficient to prevent regeneration that actually changes
the file contents depending on the installed build tools, but not to
ensure there is no regeneration at all - and there might well be other
things writing into the source directory in the course of building and
testing (so needing appropriate testing with read-only source
directories with different timestamp orderings to find and eliminate
all such cases).
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #14121]
* po/Makefile (generated): Add $(ALL_LINGUAS:%=%.mo).
(%.mo): Change to $(objpfx)%.mo. Use $(make-target-directory).
($(mo-installed)): Use $(objpfx)%.mo.
(realclean): Remove rule.
po/Makefile has both old code for copying .po files from a shared
directory /com/share/ftp/gnu/po/maint/glibc (presumably once present
on some GNU server), and new code for downloading them from the
Translation Project. This patch removes the old code, leading only
the new code.
Tested for x86_64.
* po/Makefile (linguas): Remove rule and dependencies.
(linguas.mo): Likewise.
(.PHONY): Do not depend on linguas and linguas.mo.
(podir): Remove variable.
(pofiles): Likewise.
[$(pofiles)] (%.po): Remove rule.
The PRIdLINENUM abstraction is unnecessary and breaks libc.pot
generation.
* timezone.zic (PRIdLINENO): Remove.
(verror): Use PRIdMAX.
* po/libc.pot: Regenerate.
Add a convenience target for maintainers to download and incorporate
translation updates from translations.org. Invoke as follows:
make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" -C ../po objdir=`pwd` update-translations
similar to generating libc.pot.
* po/Makefile (update-translations): New target.
In 1999 the project split "localedir" into "localedir" (path to compiled
locale archives) and "msgcatdir" (path to message catalogs). This
predates the 2002 change in the GNU Coding Standard to document the use
of "localedir" for the path to the message catalogs. It appears that
newlib, gcc, and several other projects also used "msgcatdir" at one
point or another in the past, and so it is in line with historical
precedent that glibc would also use "msgcatdir." However, given that the
GNU Coding Standard uses "localedir", we will switch to that for
consistency as a GNU project. Previous uses of --localdir didn't work
anyway (see bug 14259).
I am committing this patch in the understanding that nobody would object
to fixing #14259 as part of aligning our variable usage to the GNU
Coding Standard.
Given that previous "localedir" uses were converted to "complocaledir"
by [1], we can now convert "msgcatdir" to "localedir" and complete the
transition. With an addition to config.make.in we also fix bug 14259 and
allow users to specify the locale dependent data directory with
"--localedir" at configure time. There is still no way to control at
configure time the location of the *compiled* locale directory.
Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.
Tested using "--localedir" to specify alternate locale dependent data
directory and verified with "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/glibc".

In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

The Translation Project has asked us to rename the
pot header file `header.pot' to something else. Their
scripts automatically look for pot files and the
file `header.pot' is not actually a pot file but a
header that we use when regenerating `libc.pot.'
This commit renames `header.pot' to `pot.header' to
avoid causing errors or complicating the TP project
scripts.
Added descriptive titles to the Belarusian,
English (American), and Chinese (simplified)
po/pot files.
