gitweb: add viewport meta tag for mobile devices

2026-02-17T19:49:12Z

Without a viewport meta tag, phone browsers render gitweb at desktop width and scale the whole page down to fit the screen. Add a viewport meta tag so the layout viewport tracks device width. This is the baseline needed for mobile CSS fixes in follow-up commits. Signed-off-by: Rito Rhymes Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Makefile: extract script to generate gitweb.cgi

2024-12-06T22:52:11Z

In order to generate "gitweb.cgi" we have to replace various different placeholders. This is done ad-hoc and is thus not easily reusable across different build systems. Introduce a new GITWEB-BUILD-OPTIONS.in template that we populate at configuration time with the expected options. This script is then used as input for a new "generate-gitweb.sh" script that generates the final "gitweb.cgi" file. While this requires us to repeat the options multiple times, it is in line to how we generate other build options like our GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file. While at it, refactor how we replace the GITWEB_PROJECT_MAXDEPTH. Even though this variable is supposed to be an integer, the source file has the value quoted. The quotes are eventually stripped via sed(1), which replaces `"@GITWEB_PROJECT_MAXDEPTH@"` with the actual value, which is rather nonsensical. This is made clearer by just dropping the quotes in the source file. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Makefile: consistently use @PLACEHOLDER@ to substitute

2024-12-06T22:52:08Z

We have a bunch of placeholders in our scripts that we replace at build time, for example by using sed(1). These placeholders come in three different formats: @PLACEHOLDER@, @@PLACEHOLDER@@ and ++PLACEHOLDER++. Next to being inconsistent it also creates a bit of a problem with CMake, which only supports the first syntax in its `configure_file()` function. To work around that we instead manually replace placeholders via string operations, which is a hassle and removes safeguards that CMake has to verify that we didn't forget to replace any placeholders. Besides that, other build systems like Meson also support the CMake syntax. Unify our codebase to consistently use the syntax supported by such build systems.

refs: drop strbuf_ prefix from helpers

2024-12-03T03:38:49Z

The helper functions (strbuf_branchname, strbuf_check_branch_ref, and strbuf_check_tag_ref) are about handling branch and tag names, and it is a non-essential fact that these functions use strbuf to hold these names. Rename them to make it clarify that these are more about "ref". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

gitweb: make use of s///r

2024-10-23T20:16:36Z

In Perl 5.14, released in May 2011, the r modifier was added to the s/// operator to allow it to return the modified string instead of modifying the string in place. This allows to write nicer, more succinct code in several cases, so let's do that here. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau

Require Perl 5.26.0

2024-10-23T20:16:36Z

Our platform support policy states that we require "versions of dependencies which are generally accepted as stable and supportable, e.g., in line with the version used by other long-term-support distributions". Of Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, and SLES, the four most common distributions that provide LTS versions, the version with mainstream long-term security support with the oldest Perl is 5.26.0 in SLES 15.6. This is a major upgrade, since Perl 5.8.1, according to the Perl documentation, was released in September of 2003. It brings a lot of new features that we can choose to use, such as s///r to return the modified string, the postderef functionality, and subroutine signatures, although the latter was still considered experimental until 5.36. This change was made with the following one-liner, which intentionally excludes modifying the vendored modules we include to avoid conflicts: git grep -l 'use 5.008001' | grep -v 'LoadCPAN/' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/use 5.008001/require v5.26/' Use require instead of use to avoid changing the behavior as the latter enables features and the former does not.

Merge branch 'am/gitweb-feed-use-committer-date'

2024-07-15T17:11:41Z

GitWeb update to use committer date consistently in rss/atom feeds. * am/gitweb-feed-use-committer-date: gitweb: rss/atom change published/updated date to committer date

gitweb: rss/atom change published/updated date to committer date

2024-07-08T06:04:41Z

The author date is used for published/updated date in the rss/atom feed stream. Change it to the committer date that reflects the "published/updated" definition better and makes rss/atom feeds more linear. Gitlab/Github rss/atom feeds use the committer date. Additionally, to be consistent, also use the committer date to determine the date of the last commit to send in the feed instead of the author date.
