* Order files by first physical extent before readingColin Watson2014-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inspired by a similar change in dpkg. This takes 'mandb -c' from 104 to 32 seconds in a test installation, and 'man -K' from 74 to 38 seconds. On non-Linux systems where FIEMAP is not available, use posix_fadvise instead to preload files. Fixes Debian bug #574410. * gnulib: Import nonblocking and openat modules. * configure.ac: Check for <linux/fiemap.h> and posix_fadvise. * lib/orderfiles.c: New file. * lib/orderfiles.h: New file. * lib/Makefile.am (libman_la_SOURCES): Add orderfiles.c and orderfiles.h. * src/check_mandirs.c (add_dir_entries): Order files before reading them. * src/man.c (try_section, do_global_apropos_section): Likewise. * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Likewise. * NEWS: Document this.

* Move argument handling out of configure to new MAN_ARG_* macrosColin Watson2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | * m4/man-arg-automatic-create.m4, m4/man-arg-automatic-update.m4, m4/man-arg-cats.m4, m4/man-arg-config-file.m4, m4/man-arg-db.m4, m4/man-arg-device.m4, m4/man-arg-mandirs.m4, m4/man-arg-override-dir.m4, m4/man-arg-sections.m4, m4/man-arg-setuid.m4, m4/man-arg-systemdtmpfilesdir.m4, m4/man-arg-undoc.m4: New files. * configure.ac: Call new macros rather than inlining argument handling.
* Speed up the test suite if we have high-precision file timestampsColin Watson2014-09-11
| | | | | | | | | * configure.ac: Substitute STAT_HAS_NSEC as "yes" or "no" depending on whether high-precision file timestamps are available. * src/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export STAT_HAS_NSEC to tests. * src/tests/testlib.sh (next_second): Do nothing if STAT_HAS_NSEC is "yes".
* Move database mtime out of the database into file metadataColin Watson2014-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the database reproducible between installations, as long as the underlying database has predictable behaviour and the set of installed manual pages (including their timestamps) remains identical. As a bonus, we now use high-precision times in several places. Fixes Debian bug #760895. * gnulib: Import futimens and timespec modules. * libdb/db_btree.c (btree_get_time, btree_set_time): New functions. * libdb/db_gdbm.c (man_gdbm_get_time, man_gdbm_set_time): New functions. * libdb/db_ndbm.c (ndbm_get_time, ndbm_set_time): New functions. * libdb/mydbm.h (man_gdbm_get_time, man_gdbm_set_time, ndbm_get_time, ndbm_set_time, btree_get_time, btree_set_time): Add prototypes. (MYDBM_GET_TIME, MYDBM_SET_TIME): New macros. * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs, create_db, count_glob_matches, purge_normal, purge_whatis, purge_missing): Use high-precision times. (update_db_time): Set file modification times rather than updating a database row. (create_db, purge_missing): Get database file modification times rather than fetching a database row. (purge_missing): If the new will_run_mandb argument is true, reset the database mtime to its value before purging; this ensures that mandb will still run as expected afterwards. * src/check_mandirs.h (purge_missing): Update prototype. * src/mandb.c (xcopy): Copy access and modification times. (process_manpath): Work out in advance of purging whether we will need to run mandb, and pass that to purge_missing. * include/manconfig.h.in (VER_ID): Bump to 2.5.0. (KEY): Remove. * man/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION), man/it/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIZIONE): Remove sample output, as it is of limited usefulness compared to how awkward it is to maintain, especially in text intended for translation. * man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, man/po4a/po/*.po: Update. * manual/db.me (Contents of an index database): Remove mention of $mtime$. (Example database): Remove $mtime$. Update $version. * NEWS: Document this. Bump version to 2.7.0 to correspond to the database version change.
* Switch away from obsolescent utime functionColin Watson2014-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX.1-2008 marks utime as obsolescent. Switch to variants of the futimens/utimensat family instead, via Gnulib. Use higher-precision times for cat pages. * gnulib: Import stat-time and utimens modules. * src/man.c (man_modtime): Change type to struct timespec. (commit_tmp_cat): Use utimens rather than utime. (display): Store a higher-precision modification timestamp for man_file.
* Add systemd tmpfiles snippet to clean up old cat files after a weekColin Watson2014-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes Fedora bug #1110274. * configure.ac: Accept --with-systemdtmpfilesdir option. (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add init/Makefile and init/systemd/Makefile. * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add init. * init/Makefile.am: New file. * init/systemd/Makefile.am: New file. * init/systemd/man-db.conf: New file. * .gitignore: Add init/Makefile and init/systemd/Makefile.
* Move Autotools auxiliary build files from tools to build-aux.Colin Watson2014-02-20
| | | | | This keeps man-db's own tools separate, reducing confusion, and "build-aux" is a more conventional location for the Autotools files.
