Instead of patching emacs sources before building Emacs, we can use
site-start.el instead for a much cleaner way of setting LIBRARY_PATH
before the user config is loaded.
Previously we just copies the whole "src" directory from the workdir, it
turns out it has some binary files after a successful build, which
caused Apple's notarization process to fail.
As we actually only care about the *.c and *.h files from the "src"
directory, let's explicitly only copy those files.
Annoyingly, when downloading raw files from GitHub, symlinks do not
return the content of the symlink target, but instead it simply returns
the symlink target path (../emacs-28/fix-window-role.patch).
Hence we have to check the patch file content, and if it contains only a
single line of text, we assume it's a symlink, and resolve it relative
to the original download URL.
The file-size check is obviously not a very reliable way to determine if
the local and remote files are different. Hence we now default to always
uploading all given asset files, replacing any existing ones with the
same file name.
The size check logic is still available via the --asset-size-check flag.
Relinking the /usr/local/lib/gcc/10/libgcc_s.1.dylib shared library
within bundled *.eln files is still causing issues with code signing, so
I'm adding an option to toggle *.eln file re-linking on/off, with it on
by default.
When shared libs are stored in `Contents/Frameworks`, the re-link path
for `/usr/local/lib/gcc/11/libgcc_s.1.dylib` within bundled *.eln files
becomes `@executable_path/../Frameworks/libgcc_s.1.dylib`, which seems to
not leave enough space in the *.eln binary header to add a code
signature with codesign.
This used to work when shared libraries were bundled into
`Contents/MacOS/lib`, leading to a shorter relink path of
`@executable_path/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib`, which does leave enough space
to add a code signature to *.eln files.
With the recent move of shared libraries and native lisp *.eln files to
Contents/Frameworks, the re-linking paths became longer, causing code
signing to fail with headerpad errors. This change ensures there's
enough space within binary files for longer shared library relink paths,
and code signing payloads.
The --test-release-type flag was essentially broken and ignored, always
creating a prerelease release for test builds. Now it can also produce
draft releases.
Stable builds are based off of release git tags in Emacs' git
repo. Examples of what release tags look like:
- emacs-26.1
- emacs-26.2
- emacs-26.3
- emacs-27.1
- emacs-27.2
When the specified git ref looks like a stable release, the plan command
will generate a release a different and simpler release name that does
not include the date, git sha or ref. Instead, for "emacs-27.2" for
example, the emacs-builds release name will be "Emacs-27.2".
The "build name", used for naming the disk image, still retains the same
format as the nightly builds.
Also, non-stable releases are now marked as pre-release on GitHub by
default.
The reason for the different release name format for stable builds is
both to separate them, but also to make it easier to keep the version of
the homebrew cask as simply "27.2".
The Frameworks folder is the recommended location to store shared
libraries within macOS application bundles. Previously we stored them in
Contents/MacOS/lib.
Latest nightly builds already store all *.eln files under the Frameworks
folder, so it seemed like a good time to make the change with the
library bundler/embedder too.
