Actually `hg mv`-ing all the files is disruptive, basically breaking
everything from rebasing all my WIP draft commits to the package
building. So instead, what if we didn't and instead rewrote package
names as they are `require()`-d?
Debian packages produced by the Prosody are already installed into this
structure so much will Just Work if all require calls are updated.
The prosody-trunk nightly packages currently use the Debian dh-lua
framework to install core/, net/ and util/ into Lua-versioned directory
trees, while plugins and executables should still be installed like
before.
POSIX is quite explicit regarding the precedence of AND-OR lists [0]:
> The operators "&&" and "||" shall have equal precedence and shall be
> evaluated with left associativity. For example, both of the following
> commands write solely `bar` to standard output:
> false && echo foo || echo bar
> true || echo foo && echo bar
Given that, `prosody.version` target behaves as
((((((test -f prosody.release && cp ...) ||
test -f ...) &&
sed ...) ||
test -f ...) &&
hexdump ...) ||
echo unknown > $@)
In the case of release tarballs, `prosody.release` does exist, so the
first AND pair is executed. Given that it's successful, then the first
`test -f` in the OR pair is ignored, and instead the `sed` in the AND
pair is executed. `sed` success, as `.hg_archival.txt` exists, making
the second `test -f` in the OR pair ignored, and `hexdump` in the AND
pair is executed. Now, given that `.hg` doesn't exist, it fails, so the
last `echo` is run, overwriting `prosody.version` with `unknown`.
This can be worked around placing `()` around the AND pairs. Decided to use
conditionals instead, as I think they better communicate the intention
of the block.
