git archive automatically uses gzip when --output=*.tar.gz is used, but
not for other extensions. Thus we need to invoke the compressor separately :(
It's a good pattern to use a variable for the repeating number, so let's
recommend that.
With meson-0.60, meson compile stopped working with some targets:
$ meson compile -C build update-man-rules
ERROR: Can't invoke target `update-man-rules`: ambiguous name. Add target type and/or path: `PATH/NAME:TYPE`
This is obviously a regression in meson, but based on a chat with the
maintainers, it seems that there's some disagreement as to whether 'meson
compile' is useful and how exactly it should work. Since we're already at
meson 0.60.3 and this hasn't been fixed, and people generally don't seem to
consider this an issue, let's return to documenting the usual practice of
'ninja -C build' that just works everywhere.
(Since nobody has raised any fuss in systemd, it means that people are
generally using the shorter form during development too. I only noticed
because I pasted a command from the release docs when preparing -rc1.)
We got documentation for sd-device for the first time with
b51f4eaf7b, so let's celebrate by adding a
landing page that also explains the relationship with libudev.
Several keyboard devices are erroneously tagged with ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK
because of random buttons they set. For example, the LiteOn Lenovo
Calliope USB Keyboard sets BTN_TRIGGER, BTN_TOP2, BTN_PINKIE and
BTN_BASE, see libinput issue 745 for details.
ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK triggers the uaccess rules, making those keyboards
easily accessible. That's not a problem in the LiteOn example since that
event node doesn't contain the normal keys and eavesdropping on volume
keys is probably not very interesting.
Improve the joystick detection by adding heuristics similar to what
libinput 1.20 uses: check for some specific set of keys that are common
on keyboards but very unlikely on joysticks. If enough of those are
present (or the device has less than 2 axes or joysticks), don't tag it
as joystick.
libinput also checks for > 10 keyboard keys, but this is not done here
to be more conservative.
It turns out that in fa3cd7394c back
in 2013 I got the test reversed: assert_se(strncmp()) should be
assert_se(strncmp==0). So the tests that were using "*" were not entirely
useful ;) The function was refactored a bunch of times since then, and it
seems nobody noticed.
So let's replace this fragile construct by a simple fnmatch, which also
has the advantage that the glob can be inserted in arbitrary places.
Following up for d0aba07f1a: we should have at
least basic tests for all interfaces, even the deprecated ones, so that we
catch obvious errors. This sorts the specifiers the same way that they are
declared in the unit-printf.c, and adds tests for all the specifiers. We
even were setting 'shell', but not using it in a test.
Also, we shouldn't initialize variables in tests. This catches the error fixed
in previous commit.
Simplify generated sysfs paths, since we might get data passed that
includes extra // in the middle.
Also, let's not assume /sys/ prefix without verification.
This doesn't change anything for real uses, because we'd initialize the
variable to NULL for _cleanup_ anyway, but let's follow our general pattern
of always setting the output on "success". (Even if that success is an empty
answer here.)
