This version adds a `--strip-docs` flag to `generator.py`, used in
conjunction with `--strip-docs --embed-docs` to clean documentation
first before re-embedding it (otherwise the same text would show up
multiple times). It is also used in the CI to check that no
documentation disappears on stripping, ie. all documentation is properly
annotated with `// rustdoc-stripper-ignore-next`.
For cleanliness the prelude module only needs to reexport preludes from
direct, "top-most" crates, which themselves take care of reexporting
preludes from its dependencies again. This shaves off some code while
maintaining the same set of exports.
The `lgpl-docs` and documentation embedding step is now solely invoked
from `./gir/generator.py` in the CI, and does not need the embed/purge
build features anymore.
The generator is now solely in charge of the output path. Besides, only
few crates were inconsistently defining this path while the rest was
leaving it up to a default or the path specified on the cmdline.
The `lgpl-docs` crate and all precompiled (easy to get outdated!)
docmentation files are removed in favour of being generated at runtime
by the improved generator, both during local development as well as in
the CI.
The previous commit reinstantiated `girs_dir`, and this commit applies
the rename to `girs_directories` and adds the new/missing
`gst-gir-files` directory where GStreamer-specific `.gir` files live.
This reverts commit 7f9fcb09e2.
`generator.py` is in the process of being moved to a generic place in
the `gir` repository for reuse across crates. This means `-d` cannot be
passed for our GStreamer-specific `gst-gir-files` directory anymore, and
should be configured from `Gir.toml` instead.
Gir now prints all directories and their hashes in the version file and
comments; useful now that gstreamer-rs is being generated from both
gir-files/ and gst-gir-files/ submodules.
We were already using `gir -d` and especially now that our files are
separated across two directories that are relative to the directory
containing Gir.toml this only becomes cumbersome. Besides `gir` lacks
functionality to normalize the path, leading to ie.
gstreamer-gl/egl/sys/../../../gir-files in the version comment as a
result.
This crate was added right around the same date the conversion to the
`lgpl_docs` crate took place in 801998c7 ("Generate documentation from
the docs crate directly") and hence likely missed out.
