=head1 NAME

Bugzilla::Install::Util - Utility functions that are useful both during
installation and afterwards.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module contains various subroutines that are used primarily
during installation. However, these subroutines can also be useful to
non-installation code, so they have been split out into this module.

The difference between this module and L<Bugzilla::Util> is that this
module is safe to C<use> anywhere in Bugzilla, even during installation,
because it depends only on L<Bugzilla::Constants> and built-in perl modules.

None of the subroutines are exported by default--you must explicitly
export them.

=head1 SUBROUTINES

=over

643 644 645 646 647
=item C<bin_loc>

On *nix systems, given the name of a binary, returns the path to that
binary, if the binary is in the C<PATH>.

648
=item C<get_version_and_os>
649

650 651
Returns a hash containing information about what version of Bugzilla we're
running, what perl version we're using, and what OS we're running on.
652

653 654 655 656 657
=item C<get_console_locale>

Returns the language to use based on the LC_CTYPE value returned by the OS.
If LC_CTYPE is of the form fr-CH, then fr is appended to the list.

658 659 660 661
=item C<init_console>

Sets the C<ANSI_COLORS_DISABLED> and C<HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE> environment variables.

=item C<indicate_progress>

=over

=item B<Description>

This prints out lines of dots as a long update is going on, to let the user
know where we are and that we're not frozen. A new line of dots will start
every 60 dots.

Sample usage: C<indicate_progress({ total =E<gt> $total, current =E<gt>
$count, every =E<gt> 1 })>

=item B<Sample Output>

Here's some sample output with C<total = 1000> and C<every = 10>:

 ............................................................600/1000 (60%)
 ........................................

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<total> - The total number of items we're processing.

=item C<current> - The number of the current item we're processing.

=item C<every> - How often the function should print out a dot.
For example, if this is 10, the function will print out a dot every
ten items. Defaults to 1 if not specified.

=back

=item B<Returns>: nothing

=item C<install_string>

=over

=item B<Description>

This is a very simple method of templating strings for installation.
It should only be used by code that has to run before the Template Toolkit
can be used. (See the comments at the top of the various L<Bugzilla::Install>
modules to find out when it's safe to use Template Toolkit.)

It pulls strings out of the F<strings.txt.pl> "template" and replaces
any variable surrounded by double-hashes (##) with a value you specify.

This allows for localization of strings used during installation.

=item B<Example>

Let's say your template string looks like this:

 The ##animal## jumped over the ##plant##.
721

722 723 724 725 726 727 728 729 730 731 732 733 734 735 736 737 738 739 740 741 742 743 744 745
Let's say that string is called 'animal_jump_plant'. So you call the function
like this:

 install_string('animal_jump_plant', { animal => 'fox', plant => 'tree' });

That will output this:

 The fox jumped over the tree.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$string_id> - The name of the string from F<strings.txt.pl>.

=item C<$vars> - A hashref containing the replacement values for variables
inside of the string.

=back

=item B<Returns>: The appropriate string, with variables replaced.

=item C<template_include_path>

Used by L<Bugzilla::Template> and L</install_string> to determine the
directories where templates are installed. Templates can be installed
in many places. They're listed here in the basic order that they're
searched:

=over

=item extensions/C<$extension>/template/C<$language>/C<$project>

=item extensions/C<$extension>/template/C<$language>/custom

=item extensions/C<$extension>/template/C<$language>/default

=item template/C<$language>/C<$project>

=item template/C<$language>/custom

=item template/C<$language>/default

=back

C<$project> has to do with installations that are using the C<$ENV{PROJECT}>
variable to have different "views" on a single Bugzilla.

The F<default> directory includes templates shipped with Bugzilla.

The F<custom> directory is a directory for local installations to override
the F<default> templates. Any individual template in F<custom> will
override a template of the same name and path in F<default>.

C<$language> is a language code, C<en> being the default language shipped
with Bugzilla. Localizers ship other languages.

C<$extension> is the name of any directory in the F<extensions/> directory.
Each extension has its own directory.

Note that languages are sorted by the user's preference (as specified
in their browser, usually), and extensions are sorted alphabetically.

787 788 789 790 791 792
=item C<include_languages>

Used by L<Bugzilla::Template> to determine the languages' list which 
are compiled with the browser's I<Accept-Language> and the languages 
of installed templates.

793 794 795 796 797 798 799 800 801 802 803 804 805 806 807 808 809 810 811 812 813 814 815
=item C<vers_cmp>

=over

=item B<Description>

This is a comparison function, like you would use in C<sort>, except that
it compares two version numbers. So, for example, 2.10 would be greater
than 2.2.

It's based on versioncmp from L<Sort::Versions>, with some Bugzilla-specific
fixes.

=item B<Params>: C<$a> and C<$b> - The versions you want to compare.

=item B<Returns>

C<-1> if C<$a> is less than C<$b>, C<0> if they are equal, or C<1> if C<$a>
is greater than C<$b>.
