This includes:
- "copy-icon" set
- Permission and cleanup rules updated
- Exiv2 bumped to 0.27.5
- Adding an x-checker-data for OpenEXR
- Poppler bumped to 22.01.00
- OpenBlas bumped to 0.3.19
- graphviz bumped to 2.50.0
Also improving a bit the download script by specifying the .isl or .islu
file extension. It's nicer than trying to download randomly, and also it
allows to better compare the list of downloaded files with the list in
gimp3264.iss script.
My previous command was also adding a linefeed just after the BOM. While
I'm not sure it would really break anything for processing these, it's
anyway much more correct to only add the 3 BOM bytes. So here is the
improved command.
Also some language files are supposed to be UTF-8 yet they are missing
the BOM markup (only method to recognize them for InnoSetup). This is
the case for Chinese Traditional. See issue #7676.
Make sure that this lang file has a BOM.
One is a patch for a GExiv2 version below the one we now require, the
second is a patch for GIMP which is now committed and pushed.
Cf. commit 7ed68556c7.
gtk-doc has been slowly dying for the past few years; with gi-docgen we
have a nice successor.
This also makes sure the C documentation also uses the GIR file, which
in turn means faster build times (since all the C code doesn't have to
be parsed and recompiled again), and has a clear dependency graph.
See the [gi-docgen tutorial] for more info on how the system works.

Also when working on out-of-tree builds, it would not find the file
anyway and we get this output:
> chmod: cannot access 'test-installer-langs.sh': No such file or directory
Though this was not breaking the tests, it has clearly been useless
until we see this one today.
The patch we needed to test needs completion, so it's of no use to
continue building it until this happens.
Also for some reason, the x86_64 build of GTK3 takes forever and times
out (the same build for 32-bit x86 is done quickly as expected) on
repeated occasions. Since this is unneeded right now, rather than
wasting time on this, I just delete this dep build to use the pre-built
MSYS2 package.
Rewriting commit f8cdec1883 by Jernej Simončič for the development
code (which has a slightly different list of languages).
Also adding the meson version of this change.
Since now InnoSetup fully supports UTF-8 isl (as long as they have a
BOM), let's stop converting translations. Then we also avoid all
conversion errors and get a simpler/more robust build process.
I noticed in our build logs such output:
> Saving to: ‘Basque.isl.53’
Wget does not override same-named files and would append a number. The
thing is that we are not supposed to have other .isl files over there,
but I think current Windows runners on Gitlab are not properly wiped
out. That must be why we get remnant of old files.
Anyway this will make sure we override, hence use the last version of
translations (otherwise we are stuck to old versions as long as they are
not wiped out, since the downloaded file is not properly named).
This tool seems like a mess with various implementations (maybe
distributions patch it?). I'm trying to tweak the script so that it
works at least on the Debian testing/bookworm CI and on my Fedora 33
desktop (and hopefully on more, if not all distribs).
Note that I first thought to use the full option name (`--auto-display`)
but I just got the same error again. It seems xvfb-run from Debian
bookworm just doesn't have this option, and only the older option
--auto-servernum (which is said to be deprecated in favor of
--auto-display in Fedora's xvfb-run for instance, but apparently not on
Debian). At least this works on all distributions (or so it would seem).
Fixes:
> xvfb-run: invalid option -- 'd'
The [[ ]] is not POSIX, hence less portable.
I see our `ninja test` calls in Gitlab CI output a:
> /builds/GNOME/gimp/build/meson/run_test_env.sh: 7: [[: not found
(though it doesn't break the tests)
I forgot to do this so GIMP 2.99.8 official release is marked as
"unknown" instead of our official build. It's alright for this one
(especially for a dev release), just setting this straight for further
builds.
Anyway we disabled use of ccache in an earlier commit 2da70b3fb7 because
of a bug in MSYS2's CPython. So there is no need to call these commands
either. Also it seems to be breaking the 32-bit native Windows build
(from CI log, I am unsure this is because of ccache, but the break
happens just after running `ccache --zero-stats`).
This is untested on my side, because the bug only happens on native
builds with meson (our CI has cross-builds with meson and native builds
with autotools and I only do cross-builds locally) but I think/hope it
will work.
Basically we were using .full_path() because these rc files were also
used as input of some configure_file() calls which doesn't like custom
target objects as input (it wants strings or file objects). Yet a bug
in meson didn't like the colon used in native Windows full paths ('C:'
and such) when used in windows.compile_resources(). This has been fixed
by Luca Bacci in: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9368
Yet we just cannot depend on very early meson (or worse dev meson code).
On the other hand, if the input is a custom_tgt object, it uses the
object ID which we give as first parameter of custom_target() so we know
it's appropriately named without colons (such as 'gimp_plugins_rc').
Thus we should not bump into this issue again.
For the few usage in configure_file(), I just add a .full_path() only
when needed at call time.
Last but not least, I replace the bogus `meson --version` call by a
`python3 -c 'exit()'` as advised by Eli Schwartz:
2afa019c70 (note_1284951)
The reason is that it is apparently possible (or will be when some
reimplementation of meson will be done) that the `meson` executable
itself does not exist. On the other hand, `python3` should always be
there, as a mandatory dependency of the build tool.
In order to use an appropriate `python3`, I made the
pythonmod.find_installation() check required in our build (which should
not be a problem since it's a meson requirement as well), even when the
-Dpython option is false (this one depends on other requirements too
anyway, such as version and pygobject). This way I can call this meson
variable of discovered python in my bogus call, instead of calling a
(potentially different) python from PATH environment.
All the os.EX_* constants are Unix-only (and possibly not even not on
all Unix/Linux-like platforms, according to docs) so we should not use
them, especially for a script which we may use on Windows (we also run
it when cross-compiling from Linux, but natively on Windows as well).
Fixes this exception (which would only happen when there is another
critical issue anyway, so it's not making a bigger problem; yet it's
better to cleanly exit with an error code rather than by an exception):
> File "C:\_r\_builds\k3_3muaB\0\GNOME\gimp\build\windows\gitlab-ci\dll_link.py", line 124, in copy_dlls
sys.exit(os.EX_DATAERR)
> AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'EX_DATAERR'
Also use it to fix packaging of GIMP for the Windows installer (native
CI job). The CI was indeed failing to package libbrotlienc.dll,
dependency of libjxl.dll, for the simple reason that they were on
different prefixes. By calling dll_link.py on one prefix, then the
other, we were failing to grab the deeper dependency. Now with this new
ability to set several sources, the script is able to search everywhere
(with first prefix given on the CLI call as priority).
I always have to search again the InnoSetup repository for the language
file. Add the link in the failed test output so that we don't waste time
searching the next time.
Also when the new lang is "Unofficial", the installer script has to be
updated as well, because these lang files must be downloaded. Add a help
text saying this as well.
Translation files were added in commit cec3c3a159 but not to the
installer and build files, which is why "gimp-distcheck-debian" job was
failing in the CI.
After some recent patch added to Python on MSYS2, in the same time as
they bumped from Python 3.9.6 to 3.9.7, our native Windows build started
breaking.
This patch modified `cygwinccompiler.py` to use CC environment variable
as being necessarily a single executable whereas if it were made of 2
commands (such as "ccache gcc"), the call was failing because the code
now tries to find a single command with this name (as though the space
belongs to the file name).
Therefore the line:
> File "C:/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.9/distutils/cygwinccompiler.py", line 451, in is_cygwincc
> out_string = check_output([cc, '-dumpmachine'])
Resulted in the error:
> FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
For now, let's just not set ccache this way, even though this method is
normally meant to work and is one of the 2 officially proposed methods
(the other being to use symlinks named as compilers in priority in
PATH).
Also I'm not even sure ccache is useful at all right now (is cache
finally stored/reused between CI runs? I remember we tried to make it
happen, but I can't remember if we really had this properly in the end).

From Flatpak's NEWS:
> A new fallback-x11 permission grants X11 access, but only if the user
> is running in a X11 session. For applications that support both
> Wayland and X11, this can be used to ensure that the app doesn't have

by adding special filler custom_target() build rules.
Basically, these build rules do nothing (a mere meson --version call),
but they ensure that `git-version.h` is built first, before the dependant
rc files are used in respective resource compiler build targets.
This still a nasty trick (not a proper solution), but it do the job.
See #6257 for additional information.
This is based from changes in wip/release/2-99-8 branch or the Flathub
flatpak (so not necessarily released yet):
- libheif bumped to 1.12.0
- Cairo with new patch to fix#235.
For the installer, we must also manually pull all used official
language, so I am adding a test checking that the list of pulled file
matches the list from the installer script.
