According to Python documentation[1] dirname and basename
are defined as follows:
os.path.dirname() = os.path.split()[0]
os.path.basename() = os.path.split()[1]
For the purpose of better readability split() is replaced
by appropriate function if only one part of returned tuple
is used.

The output may be a binary data stream, not subject to any locale
encoding. This avoids any encoding errors that might arise as a result.
Also fixes github issue #2868.
gnome.gtkdoc uses -Wl,-rpath to ensure the scanner executable built by
gtkdoc-scangobj will load shared libraries from the correct directories.
However, FreeBSD configures its linker to use --enable-new-dtags by
default, which converts RPATH to RUNPATH. If users have LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable set, RUNPATH will be overrided by LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and libraries will be loaded from wrong directories, causing undefined
symbol error when running the executable.
In order to solve the problem, we have to prepend directories specified
with -Wl,-rpath to LD_LIBRARY_PATH to avoid relying on the deprecated
RPATH attribute.
This avoids hundres of warnings like:
Warning no default label for /var/tmp/instroot.hUbtYJ/path/to/some/binary
$DESTDIR is usually set to a temporary path, in which case the path is
unknown to selinux. For that case we could just skip the restorecon
calls. But sometimes it is used with a path to container. In that
case, most of the time, selinux has no context for that path. But we
can't rule that out somebody added custom context rules for the
container. So let's still call restorecon, but silence the warning.
Listing all languages inside meson.build for the Yelp-based manual
localisation is error-prone, and it also requires parsing and modifying
Meson files from external tools.
Just like we do for i18n, we can use an ancillary `LINGUAS` file in the
help source sub-directory to list all the help languages.
Introduce a DirMaker class that disassembles the path up to '/' and stores all
directories in a list. That list is in creation order and pre-existing
directories are ignored, i.e. creating the two paths
'/usr/share/foo/bar/baz' and '/usr/share/foo/bar/boo' is stored as
[ '/usr/share/foo',
'/usr/share/foo/bar',
'/usr/share/foo/bar/baz',
'/usr/share/foo/bar/boo' ]
This is on the assumption that /usr/share already existed.
After all files have been installed, the list of created directories is
appended in reverse order to the install log. The uninstall script then
triggers rmdir on all directories.
If a custom install script drops files into the directories, removing those
will fail. This matches the current expectation, see the existing warning
"Remember that files created by custom scripts have not been removed."
Unfortunately, this makes the behavior on uninstall inconsistent. Assuming a
non-existing prefix,
ninja install && ninja uninstall
removes all traces of the install.
However,
ninja install && ninja install && ninja uninstall
removes the files only, not the directories as they already existed.
This could be fixed by just unconditionally removing any (emtpy) directories
that we drop files into, at the risk of removing system directories if empty.
For example, one could imagine /etc/foo.conf.d/ to be removed in that case if
it is empty.

Try to restore the context for SELinux. If we fail on running
'selinuxenabled', quietly ignore the error and continue. If we fail on the
actual restorecon call, we print a message but disable SELinux - chances are
high that if one restorecon fails, others will too and that's likely a system
setup issue.
Fixes#1967
There are cases where we need to specify arguments to gtkdoc-mkdb, like
telling it to scan extensions that are not '.h' and '.c'. Let's add a
new named argument to gnome.gtkdoc(), as well as the plumbing needed for
the gtk-doc helper script.
