NAME

       aede-policy - check change set is ready for aede

SYNOPSIS

       aede-policy [ option...  ][ policy...  ]
       aede-policy -Help
       aede-policy -VERSion
       aede-policy -List

DESCRIPTION

       The aede-policy command is used to verify that a change set is ready to
       end development.  This is intended to be used by the develop_end_
       policy_command field of the project configuration file.
              develop_end_policy_command =
                  "aede-policy -p $project -c $change all";
       If any of the pilies should fail, the aede-policy command will fail
       with an exit status of 1.  This, in turn, will cause the aede(1)
       command to leave the change in the being developed state.

       Note that the aede(1) command sets the appropriate environment
       variables, so the -Project and -Change options are rarely necessary.

       If no policies appear on the command line, the aede-policy project
       specific attribute will be checked.  If it exists, it contains a list
       of space separated policy names.

   POLICIES
       There are a range of policies that can be selected.

       all     Check all of the copyright, crlf, description and printable
               policies.

       copyright
               This policy checks that each file in the change set contains a
               copyright notice of the form
                      Copyright (C) year something
               where year is the current year (you can have a range of years,
               too).  Binary files are ignored.  Change sets marked with a
               foreign-copyright=true attribute are ignored, as are files
               similarly marked.  The something part is either the project
               specific copyright-owner attribute, or the executing users full
               name.

       crlf    This policy cheks that all files are using UNIX line
               termination (NL), not DOS line termination (CRLF).  Binary
               files are ignored.

       description
               This policy checks that the change set brief_description and
               description attributes have been updated to something other
               than the defaults.

       fsf-address
               This policy checks that the FSF address, if present in source
               files, is up-to-date.  This is useful for Free Software
               projects.

       gpl-version

       gpl-version=nn
               This policy checks files that cite the GNU GPL in their file
               headers, to be sure they contain the correct version of the GNU
               GPL.  Defaults to version 3 if no version number specified.

       line-length

       line-length=nn
               This policy checks that files have this maximum line length.
               Defaults to 80 if no width is specified.  Can be overridden per
               file using the aede-policy-line-length file attribute.

       merge-fhist
               This policy requires that there be no fmerge(1) conflict lines
               present in any source files.  The name comes from the name of
               the package containing this tool: fhist.

       merge-rcs
               This policy requires that there be no merge(1) conflict lines
               present in any source files.  The name comes from the name of
               the package containing this tool: rcs.

       no-tabs
               This policy checks that files have no tabs characters in them.
               This is useful when a team of developers all use different
               editors and differnt tab stops.  By only using spaces, the code
               is presented to all developers the same way.

               This check is not applied to change sets with a Iforeign-
               copyright=true attribute, because you have little control over
               them (change the tabs in a later change set, if at all).

               This check is not applied to files which are called Makefile or
               similar, and it is not applied to files carrying a aede-policy-
               tabs-allowed=true attribute.

       printable
               This policy checks that each file in the change set contains
               only printable text characters and white space.  The content-
               type file attribute is taken into account; if there is no
               content-type file attribute, or there is no charset specified
               by the content-type file attribute, plain 7-bit ASCII text is
               assumed.

       text    This policy checks that each file in the change set contains
               only text, although international character sets are
               acceptable.  This is basically a test for NUL characters,
               because everything else could be part of a valid character
               encoding of some international character set.

       white-space
               This policy checks that there is no white space on the ends of
               lines, that there are no blank lines at the ends of files.

       If no policy is specified, only the description policy will be checked.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -Change number
               This option may be used to specify a particular change within a
               project.  See aegis(1) for a complete description of this
               option.

       -Help
               This option may be used to obtain more information about how to
               use the aede-policy program.

       -List   List all of the available validations.

       -Project name
               This option may be used to select the project of interest.
               When no -Project option is specified, the AEGIS_PROJECT
               environment variable is consulted.  If that does not exist, the
               user’s $HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default project
               field (see aeuconf(5) for more information).  If that does not
               exist, when the user is only working on changes within a single
               project, the project name defaults to that project.  Otherwise,
               it is an error.

       See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.

       All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the
       upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are
       optional.  You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

       All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or
       lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.

       For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all
       interpreted to mean the -Project option.  The argument "-prj" will not
       be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not
       supplied.

       Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on
       the command line, after the function selectors.

       The GNU long option names are understood.  Since all option names for
       aede-policy are long, this means ignoring the extra leading ’-’.  The
       "--option=value" convention is also understood.

EXIT STATUS

       The aede-policy command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The
       aede-policy command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
       errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this
       command.  See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file’s project_
       specific field for how to set environment variables for all commands
       executed by Aegis.
