This allows the build commands in Makefile and tools/buildall.sh to be
simplified.
Official reproducible builds are now handled as a build variant, and the command
in Makefile no longer tries to produce reproducible builds.
Instructions in PACKAGING.md have been completely rewritten.
Instead of putting all possible flags in prog.Flags, flags are now registered by
the individual subprograms. The 3 flags -sock, -db and -json are shared by
multiple subprograms and still handled by the prog package.
This new design allows separating the support for -cpuprofile into a separate
subprogram, which is no longer included by the default entry point, making the
binary slightly smaller. A new entrypoint "withpprof" is created.
Also include the LSP subprogram in the nodaemon entry point.
Now that v0.17-release has been branched, the HEAD build will show deprecations
intended for 0.17.0, and be considered a pre-release version of 0.18.0.
Introduce `builtin:buildinfo` and `builtin:version` vars. This also
changes the `-buildinfo -json` implementation to use the standard
encoding/json package rather than handcrafting the JSON string.
This also fixes three incorrect spellings of "overridden". Normally I would
do those in a separate change but since there are only three instances,
one of which one was legitimately part of this change, I decided to bundle
the other two.
The mechanism is now documented in PACKAGING.md.
Also refactor tools/buildall.sh to make it easy to make reproducible builds, and
fix tools/cirrus-deploy.sh.
While working on my next commit, to prevent I/O deadlocks, I experienced
some problems because I had a syntax error in the Elvish code to generate
the output. That wasn't immediately obvious because I had copied another
test that only tested the stdout of the shell and the syntax error was
written to stderr. This change modifies existing tests to verify both
stdout and stderr have the expected content.
Note that there are three interactive tests for which we still do not
verify the content of stderr. That's because stderr for those tests only
contains a shell prompt whose content changes each time the test is run.
TBD is modifying the interactive tests to have a predictable prompt.
