The modifications are mostly to make it portable +to non-BSD-ish platforms, though we do have one formatting switch we +couldn't convince upstream to take. + +To build it, configure the surrounding Postgres source tree, +then run "make" in this directory. +Optionally, run "make test" for some simple tests. + +You'll need to install pg_bsd_indent somewhere in your PATH before +using it. Most likely, if you're a developer, you don't want to +put it in the same place as where the surrounding Postgres build +gets installed. Therefore, do this part with something like + + make install prefix=/usr/local + +If you are using Meson to build, the standard build targets will +build pg_bsd_indent and also test it, but there is not currently +provision for installing it anywhere. Manually copy the built +executable from build/src/tools/pg_bsd_indent/pg_bsd_indent to +wherever you want to put it. + + +If you happen to be hacking upon the indent source code, the closest +approximation to the existing indentation style seems to be + + ./pg_bsd_indent -i4 -l79 -di12 -nfc1 -nlp -sac somefile.c + +although this has by no means been rigorously adhered to. +(What was that saw about the shoemaker's children?) +We're not planning to re-indent to Postgres style, because that +would make it difficult to compare to the FreeBSD sources. + +---------- + +The FreeBSD originals of the files in this directory bear the +"4-clause" version of the BSD license.

I was wrong in my original +observation (or mis-observation :-). UCB did keep the Illinois +copyright intact. + +The issue still is whether we can distribute indent, and if we can, which +version. David Willcox (the author) states that: + +| Several people have asked me on what basis I claim that indent is in +| the public domain. I knew I would be sorry I made that posting. +| +| Some history. Way back in 1976, the project I worked on at the +| University of Illinois Center for Advanced Computation had a huge +| battle about how to format C code. After about a week of fighting, I +| got disgusted and wrote a program, which I called indent, to reformat C +| code. It had a bunch of different options that would let you format +| the output the way you liked. In particular, all of the different +| formats being championed were supported. +| +| It was my first big C program. It was ugly. It wasn't designed, it +| just sort of grew. But it pretty much worked, and it stopped most of +| the fighting. +| +| As a matter of form, I included a University of Illinois Copyright +| notice. However, my understanding was that, since the work was done +| on an ARPA contract, it was in the public domain. +| +| Time passed. Some years later, indent showed up on one of the early +| emacs distributions. +| +| Later still, someone from UC Berkeley called the UofI and asked if +| indent was in the public domain. They wanted to include it in their +| UNIX distributions, along with the emacs stuff. I was no longer at the +| UofI, but Rob Kolstad, who was, asked me about it. I told him I didn't +| care if they used it, and since then it has been on the BSD distributions. +| +| Somewhere along the way, several other unnamed people have had their +| hands in it. It was converted to understand version 7 C. (The +| original was version 6.) It was converted from its original filter +| interface to its current "blow away the user's file" interface. +| The $HOME/.indent.pro file parsing was added. Some more formatting +| options were added. +| +| The source I have right now has two copyright notices. One is the +| original from the UofI. One is from Berkeley. +| +| I am not a lawyer, and I certainly do not understand copyright law. As +| far as I am concerned, the bulk of this program, everything covered by +| the UofI copyright, is in the public domain, and worth every penny. +| Berkeley's copyright probably should only cover their changes, and I +| don't know their feelings about sending it out. + +In any case, there appears to be none at UofI to clarify/and change +that copyright, but I am confident (based on the statements of its +author) that the code, as it stands with its copyright, is +distributable, and will not cause any legal problems. + +Hence, the issue reduces to *which* one to distribute through +comp.sources.unix. I would suggest that with the permission of you +folks (given that you have parts copyrighted), we distribute the 4.3 +version of indent, which appears to be the most up-to-date version. I +happen to have just about every known version of indent, including the +very original submission from the author to a unix tape, later the +G-Emacs version, any 4.n version, sun version and the Unipress +version. I still think we should not have to "go-back-in-time" and +re-do all the work you people have done. + +I hope to hear from you as to what you think about this. You may of +course send 4.3 version to the moderator directly, or you can let me +know of your permission, and I will send the sources, or you can let +me know that 4.3 version is off-limits, in which case we would probably +have to revert to an older version. One way or another, I hope to get +a version of indent to comp.sources.unix. + +regards.. oz + +cc: ccvaxa!willcox + sun.com!jar + uunet!rsalz + |
