If user can make NETHACKOPTIONS point to a file, that user could then
get the file contents via the extended config file error reporting.
Add CONFIG_ERROR_SECURE compile-time option to make that case output
only the first error, no line number or error context.
Take the 4-5 line Debian patch and turn it into six dozen lines of
new code. The submitted patch introduces use of several C library
routines that aren't presently in use, so would need testing by all
functional or nearly-functional ports to verify that it wouldn't
break anything. It also switched the formatted build date+time
from localtime to UTC. This makes the code conditional so it can
be ignored by anybody and avoid the risk of breakage. And a lot of
the increase in size is comments attempting to explain what the new
conditional is for: when REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD is defined, makedefs
will use getenv("SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH") (whose value is an integer
representing seconds since 1-Jan-1970) instead of current date+time
when generating date.h. The purpose is to be able to rebuild at a
later date and produce an identical program, which doesn't happen
when compile time gets incorporated into the binary.
I've added some sanity checking to try to make sure the getenv()
value obtained isn't bogus. And the version string put into date.h
will be slightly different, allowing someone who sees date.h or 'v'
output to tell whether SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was involved: showing
"<port> NetHack <version> last revision <date>" instead of the
usual "... last build <date>".
To test, checkout a new branch for building, make any local edits
to unixconf.h and config.h, including enabling REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD,
git add+commit them, then use
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=`git log -1 --pretty=%ct` make install
Other ports will need a bit more work to set up the environment,
but can still use git to track file dates and supply the latest.
Building with alternate configurations could be accomplished by
using tags instead of 'log -1' or by using distinct build branches
where nothing is commited/merged/rebased after completed build.
Unresolved issue: BUILD_DATE, VERSION_ID, and COPYRIGHT_BANNER_C
contain formatted date+time but omit timezone. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
is assumed to be UTC but the formatted values don't say so, so it
might appear to be incorrect when compared with local time. We
definitely don't want to start mucking about with timezones within
nethack, so I think we just live with this. It's not an issue for
default configruation where REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD is left disabled.
Several people have asked if 3.6.0 supports playing with tiles on
a public server. Because there's no way for the user's end to know
what that white @ is, this adds special console escape codes for
tile hinting.
The idea was originally a patch called TelnetTiles by Justin Hiltscher,
but this expanded version comes via NAO, where it's been in use for years.
This is basically an interim hack, which should go away when/if
we support actual client-server model.
Some reformatting (replacing tabs with spaces), but mostly updating some
of the comments, particularly about SYSCF.
Shouldn't GENERIC_USERNAMES be controllable via SYSCF?
The fun stuff section in config.h contains nothing fun anymore,
so let's remove it. Move SCORE_ON_BOTL to the next section,
and add couple other defines there too.
I did my best to exempt some of the bigger aligned blocks from the reformatting
using the /* clang-format off */ and /* clang-format on */ tags. Probably some
that shouldn't have been formatted were anyway; if you encounter them, please
fix.
The clang-format tags were left in on the basis that it's much easier to prune
those out later than to put them back in, and it means that, modulo my custom
version of clang-format, I should be able to run clang-format on the source tree
again without changing anything, now that Pat has fixed the VA_DECL issues.

Adjust the code and the command line Makefile so that
you no longer have to choose whether to build the tty
version NetHack.exe, or the gui version NetHackW.exe.
Both will now be built in a single 'nmake install' pass.
The intent is to look for platform-specific facilities for regex
matching, to provide portable MENUCOLORS configuration files.
This is a prototype implementation being committed to see if Windows can
use the POSIX regex implementation provided with the C++11 standard
library. If this works, I will write a harness for POSIX regexes and for
pmatch(), and those can be linked in by platforms as appropriate.
pmatch() should be used only as a very last resort, because it breaks
compatibility between platforms.
It should now be randomly disabled for a 3rd of Gehennom, to make things
a tad more interesting there. It's also disabled in Baalzebub's lair,
to make things a little more interesting.
Still don't know why the beetle is disappearing.
-Add a boolean option menucolors to toggle menu color
-Add MENUCOLOR -config file option
TODO:
-Better support for win32
-Support more windowports
-Update Guidebook
-Allow changing menucolor lines in-game

There is a lot of code affected by this, and Pat Rankin correctly
observes that it would be better to store roguelike as a level flag
rather than just using Is_rogue_level. A note for the future.
(This covers some thing that Pat found and some things I found while working
on those.)
Unscramble duplicate use of GREPPATH and GDBPATH symbols.
Add some more info to config.h.
Make missing SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Make a parse error in SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Rename PANICTRACE_GLIBC (et al) to PANICTRACE_LIBC (et al) since FreeBSD
and Mac OS X (at least) also implement the needed API.
Allow SYSCF_FILE to be unreadable by the user (for setgid installs).
If SYSCF, do NOT fall back to the compiled in WIZARD account.
Put WIZARD into sysopt and remove special cases in authorize_wizard_mode().
This is the code I built trying to figure out the large window size issue.
It completely compiles out if not needed (see -DWINCHAIN in hints/macos10.7)
and except for one call during setup has zero overhead if compiled in and
not used. See window.doc for more info.
Defs for UNUSED parms. I know this has been controversial, so use is isolated
to the chain code and windows.c (where it shouldn't be intrusive and saves about
50 warnings).
Hints file for 10.7, but the build process still needs to be migrated from
the branch.
Pat noted that I neglected to drop the SCCS lines on the files I've been
committing, so clean up those and any others I could find where the SCCS
line date is out of date.
add SYSCF docs to the Guidebook because it's info needed in a binary distro
Guidebook.tex - also add some missing italics to some "NetHack" occurances
call nethack.org "official"
Guidebook.txt - didn't regenerate cleanly so no diff
add SEDUCE to SYSCF (only partly inspired by the recent email)
