it's just two lines, and we want much more granular
control of where the lock is enforced. it should be
JUST after confirming that the instance is a parent.
it is at this moment that we should bail if a lock
file exists, because this signals that another instance
of xbmk is running.

once again, we are being stricter in child instances.
we must ensure that these variables are set by xbmk.

we no longer rely on the .git version being
read by child instances, so we MUST ensure
that it is being read.

don't update them on child instances, since it's a waste
of time; the lock file prevents further execution, so we
are just wasting time writing to disk.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
we don't need to read or write a file at all, in that case.
we only then need to generate one if running ./mk release.
the scenario in which no .git and no version files exist
is when someone grabs the build system from a snapshot
generated by e.g. forgejo instances. it's ill advised, so
we advise against it, but it is mitigated in code.

That way, unnecessary work is avoided on child instances.
Of course, the current check assumes that TMPDIR wasn't
already set by a wily user before running lbmk, but then
those sorts of users probably know what they're doing.
If they don't know, they will soon find out. Therefore, I
have added additional checks on child instances, preventing
the build system from running if XBMK_CACHE is not set; if
it isn't, then that could very easy lead to certain system
files being overwritten.
The user must never know what happens if XBMK_CACHE is unset.
We simply will not allow it.

all this function does now is create the python symlink,
based on work that was already performed in set_pyver
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
Do it after the creation of xbmkpath.
This avoids performing an unnecessary check, since
PATH will have already been corrected for child
instances; Python will already be correct there.

we mkdir -p xbmklocal, only to remkdir it immediately
afterward, which is the intended behaviour; on parent
instances, xbmklocal is to be re-created fresh.

this function now simply creates directories that lbmk
will use, rather than creating specific directories.

we must only set this in the parent instance, not
child instances. this prevents the variable from
being over-populated with repeated entries.

this way, initialisation will not be performed erroneously
while another parent instance of lbmk is running.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
This is earlier than the current check, thus preventing
the initialisation of a git repository and/or the recreation
of xbmktmp and xbmklocal by erroneous parent executions of lbmk
while another parent is running - the latter of which could have
caused a massively unpredictable build failure, so this is also
a pre-emptive bug fix, fixing all kinds of weird bugs.

i wasn't ok having that variable initialisation and
then the commands on the same line. it looks messy.
having the commands on a separate line makes the code nice
to read, so let's separate them.

the user doesn't care where the temporary git repo is

we really only need it there, because the context is
for release archives. normal use of the git repository
doesn't matter in the context of deletions, because that
will not be distributed. only the result of ./mk release
will be distributed.
the builds produced will not change as a result of this,
for people using the normal git repository, because the
files in question are never used anyway, in our configs.
this is being done to make working on local repos easier.

otherwise, ./mk -b (without argument) will fail, on release
archives. also, perhaps i should add an mkhelper to build it?

in a few places, we use the presence of a file found
by fx_ to cause an exit, but the command that runs
looks something like:
exit 1 "string"
this yields an error, and a non-zero exit, because of
too many arguments to "exit", but we wanted a non-zero
exit anyway.
nevertheless, this is incorrect.
to fix it, eval is used instead. if the never-going-to-exist
condition one day exists where exit 1 actually returns, not,
you know, exits, we will use err instead, with the string
as argument.
this should be fine. it's a bit hacky, but so is fx_, and
it works. fx_ is used in several places to keep the sloccount
down, providing a common way to perform while loops on the
output of a command; that is its only purpose..
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
more specifically, re-write it so that it can be called with fx_
this means that the single-tree check for nuke.list can be made
much simpler

This way, we can use x_ which will then print the command
that failed, if we need to debug future errors.

I overlooked this in a previous patch. It doesn't really
matter, since we're operating on a file anyway, but it's
not correct.
Files should have rm -f on them, not rm -Rf, for deletion.

We already do what the old code does in setcfg, by
virtue of the fact that the st variable is later
checked, after loading this config conditionally,
where the st variable is otherwise blank.
We can avoid the unnecessary work after loading
the config, by returning if the config is absent.

We are calling xbmkget in the same way, whether it's
a subfile or subrepo.
Rename these variables to subcurl and subgit, so that we
can call xbmkget unconditionally.

i've basically re-written most of xbmkget.
there was some erroneous conditions under which

it now handles more than just git, and i forsee
it handling even more in the future, e.g. rsync,

And this time it works.
I'm now calling xbmkget() which in turn calls tmpclone(),
instead of me calling tmpclone() directly.
The git-pull is done on both remotes, regardless of whether
the first succeeds. This way, if I forgot to update a mirror,
downloads would probably still work.
This also fixes an issue people were having, for example where
the gnulib repository of GRUB was always being downloaded
every time.
I'm using a new directory, XBMK_CACHE/clone, instead
of XBMK_CACHE/repo (which I used before), in case people
still have the old caches from before.
