This is again to avoid the "Argument list too long" error we are hitting more and
more now. Given we just merged elementary, emotion generic players, evas generic
loaders and elm_code it is not surprising we are hitting it again.
This time the number of files being hold in DISTFILES has just grown to big so a
make dist was no longer possible. If one looks at what the DISTFILES variable
from automake holds you can image it grows a lot with all the source files plus
generated files we have in tree now.
DISTFILES = $(DIST_COMMON) $(DIST_SOURCES) $(TEXINFOS) $(EXTRA_DIST)
To cut off a big chunk but still keep all the other automagic in place for
SOURCE files I went and renamed the EXTRA_DIST in src/ to EXTRA_DIST2 and handle
the files in a dist-hook now.
Another thing to note here is that this also only happens as we have the one big
Makefile with includes. If we go back to per directory Makefiles this problem
should vanish as well. In any case we need a solution for 1.18 now and this is
what I have to offer. If you have a cleaner solution in mind feel welcome to
test it out and if everything we need keeps working (make, make examples,
make check, make benchmark, make dist and make distcheck) go ahead.
This reverts commit 35119e7bfd.
Reverted to bring make check back in a working state. Also the way we
want to handle a more modular testing needs discussion.
Looking through the git log it is unclear which release we used before as nobody
stated it there. :/ We updated after the security issues last year so my best
guess is that we have something like r119.
To see what changed I now included the NEWS file and also the LICENSE file from
upstream. Upstream in now hosted here: https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4 and
http://www.lz4.info
I recommend STRONGLY that you check if your distro ships liblz4 as an up to
date library package and use the --enable-liblz4 configure option to use the
system version. I consider making the system version default for upcoming
releases and only carry the internal one as fallback for systems that do not
provide it.
Fix T2374
Currently make check runs tests of whole EFL.Enabled running
of tests of individual modules by make check-<modulename>

The intent of Emile is to be the common layer for serialisation, compression
and ciphering. It will expose the library we currently use internally to an
easier use from the outside (like gcrypt and lz4). It should improve portability.
Instead of pushing JSON, XML and what's not to Eina, I do think that they will
fit better in Emile.
As for the naming of Emile, you will need to be French and say :
"Un quoi ?" "Un serializer !"
Regarding why it is put there in the stack. Right now there is two users of
compression (eet and terminology), two users of cipher library (eet and ecore_con)
and a few handful of user for serialization (eina, eet, efreet, ecore_con, ...).
So the choice was quite simple, it needed to be below Eet. Now it could have been
on top of Eo or integrated into Eina.
One of the use case I am thinking of, is to compress Eo object when a canvas get
hidden/minized. For that it require Eo to use that library and it can't be a higher
level object. And with current implementation of Eo it is perfectly possible to
implement such idea. So not at Eo level.
As for Eina, I am starting to think it is getting to much things in its namespace.
I do believe that infact Eina_Simple_XML and Eina_File should after all have landed
in their own library. That's why I am putting the current logic in a new library.
It is going to expand, I want it to provide an few SAX like parser for JSON,
Eet_Data and protobuf with also an API like Eet_Data to directly feed those value
into a C structure without using a DOM at all. It would also be the right place
to experiment and benchmark for a new Eet_Data format that could be more efficient
to use.
So at the end, and due to how I see things going and being used, I do think it
is better of in its own library.
