The Automake and aclocal were part of the previous PHP build system
where Automake created Makefile from the Makefile.in templates and
aclocal was used to produce the aclocal.m4. They were removed as
dependencies via 9d9d39a0de and
e715fb00f8.
Since we allow ext/xmlrpc to be built against a system libxmlrpc(-epi),
we must not `efree` memory which has been allocated via `malloc`. To
distinguish bundled and system libxmlrpc(-epi) we introduce the macro
`HAVE_XMLRPC_BUNDLED` (analogous to how it is done by ext/gd). We
deliberately keep the ugly `#ifdef`s, instead of tucking them away in
an `XMLRPC_FREE()` macro, to not forget that it is a bad idea to fork
and bundle a library, but to also allow building against an unpatched
system lib.
The `crlf` Git attribute has been long deprecated and made obsolete. A
replacement for using `-crlf` is `-text`. That way Git doesn't do
newlines normalization on any system.
Since the phpt files don't need specific line endings in any files
except for some special CR characters in some, this can be also removed
and line normalization can happen on all phpt files. The run-tests.php
file converts the CRLF to LF before running the test.
This patch also sets a `diff` attributes for all *.phpt files. It
helps showing diffs for some phpt files with special characters such
as ASCII control characters which makes Git recognize them as binary and
stops showing commit diffs otherwise
Some additional short info about used Git attributes has been also added
as comments for easier understanding.
Remove -text gitattribute
Current run-tests.php script produces the `*.php` files from the
*.phpt. So all *.php files in tests folders are ignored by Git.
To avoid confusion and to for bettere consistency this patch renames
two remaining tests/*/*.php files to *.inc and *.phar as current
practice in *.phpt files.
- The `ext/curl/tests/resonder/get.php` to .inc extension
- The `ext/phar/tests/files/pear2coverage.phar.php` to .phar extension
The `mkdep.awk` file was part of the previous *nix build system and was
used to create a .deps file with a list of dependencies that could be
processed by Automake further on.
Newer build system was done via 9d9d39a0de
and outdated files removed via 22815419f8
so the current file in the PHP source code is not used anymore.
Additionally, the *.slo files were processed by this file. The *.slo
files also used to be generated by older libtool so today, these don't
get generated anymore.
The `.deps` file(s) was once used by Automake and created to write
dependencies to it. The file creation has been removed via the commit
779c11af21.
The phpize and ./configure script create a redundant .deps file in a
PECL extension directory which might cause confusions why is it used.
Today it is no longer relevant so this redundant artefact can be
removed in the phpize configure script.
The `pear/scripts`, `pear/php-config`, `pear/phpize`, and
`pear/run-tests` used to be part of the PEAR installation. Now, the
pear installation PHAR file is directly downloaded from pear.php.net
instead.
The stamp-* files can be used as helpers for Makefiles to not redo
certain targets again. The stamp-h are mentioned in the Autoconf docs [1]
to help generate the config.h file.
Since the usage of stamp-h file was removed in 232afa4816
this patch cleans few obsolete occurrences.
This patch also removes two occurrences of `main/stamp-h1` and
`main/streams/stamp-h1` rules in the .gitignore file since they are not
generated with the current build systems anymore. The `stamp-h$am_indx` files
were once generated using aclocal and automake.

The qa.php.net currently includes nice collection of information about
tests and how to run them. Instead of maintaining two locations of this
information, this patch removes the README.TESTING from the php-src
repo. Patch for qa.php.net has been sent separately to that repo.
This is especially noteworthy since `tidy_get_relase()` returns
'unknown' when built against libtidyp, which might break some code
which relies on `tidy_get_release()` to return a date formatted as
`yyyy/mm/dd`.
