[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] Prohibit Windows special chars in filenames

Using any of these chars [:*?"<>|] in a filename is forbidden on Windows and breaks git operations on Windows as git is not able to create those files/directories on clone or pull. Because some of them can be used in UNIX filenames they tend to creep into filenames, especially : in PCI/SCSI device names that are used as filenames in test cases. --- cfg.mk | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/cfg.mk b/cfg.mk index a4ae978..117584c 100644 --- a/cfg.mk +++ b/cfg.mk @@ -912,6 +912,11 @@ sc_curly_braces_style: 'braces around function body, see' \ 'HACKING' 1>&2; exit 1; } || : +sc_prohibit_windows_special_chars_in_filename: + @files=$$($(VC_LIST_EXCEPT) | grep '[:*?"<>|]'); \ + test -n "$$files" && { echo '$(ME): Windows special chars' \ + 'in filename not allowed:' 1>&2; echo $$files 1>&2; exit 1; } || : + # We don't use this feature of maint.mk. prev_version_file = /dev/null -- 1.8.1.2
