It's time to start preparing for a version of redo that doesn't work
unless we build it first (because it will rely on C modules, and
eventually be rewritten in C altogether).
To get rolling, remove the old-style symlinks to the main programs, and
rename those programs from redo-*.py to redo/cmd_*.py. We'll also move
all library functions into the redo/ dir, which is a more python-style
naming convention.
Previously, install.do was generating wrappers for installing in
/usr/bin, which extend sys.path and then import+run the right file.
This made "installed" redo work quite differently from running redo
inside its source tree. Instead, let's always generate the wrappers in
bin/, and not make anything executable except those wrappers.
Since we're generating wrappers anyway, let's actually auto-detect the
right version of python for the running system; distros can't seem to
agree on what to call their python2 binaries (sigh). We'll fill in the
right #! shebang lines. Since we're doing that, we can stop using
/usr/bin/env, which will a) make things slightly faster, and b) let us
use "python -S", which tells python not to load a bunch of extra crap
we're not using, thus improving startup times.
Annoyingly, we now have to build redo using minimal/do, then run the
tests using bin/redo. To make this less annoying, we add a toplevel
./do script that knows the right steps, and a Makefile (whee!) for
people who are used to typing 'make' and 'make test' and 'make clean'.
flush-cache reduces the failed_runid by 1 each time, and it runs
multiple times per 'redo test'. if failed_runid goes to zero, it would
be treated as success ("no failure") rather than a real failure at
runid 0.
On systems where 'python' refers to python3, redo
failed to launch. All invocations of python have been
made explicitly python2 invocations. All tests pass
on an Arch Linux system as of this commit.
It was working fine, but the style wasn't exactly the way I like it, because
I'm unnecessarily picky. :)
Also, removed the file extension since we should probably learn from the
fact that it's already been rewritten once from one language to another.
Who knows, maybe it will be again someday.
