Changes:
debputy (0.1.4) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* debputy.pm: Breaking change: The debputy dh sequence now removes the
following debhelper tools from the sequence:
.
- dh_installdirs
- dh_install
- dh_installdocs
- dh_installchangelogs
- dh_installexamples
- dh_installman
- dh_installcatalogs (!)
- dh_installdebconf (!)
- dh_installemacsen (!)
- dh_installinfo
- dh_installinit (!)
- dh_installsysusers
- dh_installsystemd (!)
- dh_installsystemduser (!)
- dh_installmenu (!)
- dh_ucf (!)
- dh_perl
- dh_usrlocal (!)
- dh_installwm (!)
- dh_strip_nondeterminism (!)
- dh_dwz (!)
- dh_strip
- dh_missing (!)
.
At this point, basically any command *after* dh_auto_install (plus
dh_installdirs, which runs before dh_auto_install) has been removed.
As a consequence, the `debputy.pm` sequence no longer interacts very
well with most debhelper sequence addons. Basically any command
relying on content in `debian/<pkg>` will no longer work with
`dh-debputy`.
.
Commands marked with (!) has no or almost no replacement support.
If a package rely on these commands, odds are debputy will be
unlikely to support that package. Other commands will have
support for common cases (similar to debhelper's default behavior).
.
* debputy.py: Breaking change: Remove support for services, debhelper
provided maintscripts and triggers.
.
* New migration features:
- Auto-migrate `debian/tmpfile` to `debian/tmpfiles`
- Auto-migrate `debian/README.debian` to `debian/README.Debian`.
(debhelper allowed both, debputy only supports the latter, which
is the more common variant).
- Auto-migrate `debian/doc-base.<suffix>` to
`debian/<pkg>.<suffix>.doc-base`. Note that debhelper and debputy
are not aligned on the naming scheme here. Applying this migration
causes debhelper to no longer see the doc-base files.
- Auto-migrate common `debian/install`, `debian/docs` and
`debian/examples` into the `installations` feature (see
"manifest changes" below). Some (but not 100%) dh-exec support
provided as well.
- Detect `debian/<foo>` files for unsupported debhelper tools or
where no migration has been written yet and warn about their usage
affecting the migration.
- Migration now works with debhelper compat 13 rather than compat 14
in most cases. Notable exception being packages that have a
`debian/pam`, which will still trigger a min compat of 14.
.
* manifest changes:
- Implement `installations` to replace `dh_install`, `dh_installdocs`
and `dh_installexamples`. Please see the `Installations` section
in `MANIFEST-FORMAT.md` for how to use it. Note that `debputy`
installations work differently than debhelper when multiple
patterns match the same path.
.
* debuty plugin API: Important changes:
- Detached paths are now less violatile. Notably, the `path`
attribute will now always work for plugins. The `parent_dir`
attribute should still be avoided however. Additionally, the
`.lookup` method will now always trigger an exception for a
detached path (previously, it would "sometimes" trigger the
exception depending on the path being resolved).
- Plugins can now choose whether a Packager Provided File (PPF)
should have name segments or have architecture specific
segments. Additionally, the plugin can request that
`debian/foo` is considered a fallback for all packages for
a given file.
- The `BinaryPackagePath` type has been renamed to
`VirtualPath`.
.
* Improve wording in documentation and fix typos various places.
* Remove `> /dev/null` for `systemd-tmpfiles`.
* Add support for systemd's sysusers file.
* Provide standard excludes for commonly unwanted things
* Support pruning changelog files. When pruning NEWS, keep only entries listed in the dch
* Ensure man, info pages, changelog files and Debian.NEWS files are always
compressed. Previously, these would only be compressed if they had a
certain size. This change makes `debputy` match `dh_compress` better.
* migration: Renames count as successful changes. Previously, the migration
tool would say it could do renames and then claim nothing could be done
followed by not doing anything at the end.
* Fix bug where mode was used as mtime for symlinks.
* manifest/parser: Recognise -dbgsym packages. The package names
are now known and will not trigger an "unknown" package
exception when used. However, currently no directives are allowed
for dbgsym packages so the net result of specifying them is still
an error.
* Migrate to the python logging. Along with a dependency on colorlogs,
this means that output will have some color support. This changes means
more "info" level messages now have basic colors.
* util.py: Fix double quote handling when doing shell escapes.
* debputy.py: Improve error reporting a bit. Notably, previously
some exceptions that should have been caught and rendered in a
user-friendly way now are as intended. Additionally, the debputy
frontend now catches a common cause of exceptions (`RuntimeError`)
and classifies them as "Unexpected exceptions" along with a note
recommending filing a bug for debputy.
* debputy.py: Hide unstable/internal commands. Most of the frontend
commands are now hidden behind an `internal-command` subcommand.
this means that the default help output now only uses 1-2 lines on
the internal or unstable subcommands.
* debputy.py: Provide a `check-manifest` command to parse the manifest
and check for obvious errors without having to build debs.
* Do not mandate dpkg archs to be known. Previously, debputy
would trigger an error if the manifest in the `arch-matches`
condition listed an unknown dpkg arch. This error has been
removed as it is common practice to list new architectures
long before dpkg in stable/oldstable knows the architecture.
* Tweak the auto-generated maintscripts. Notably, indentation
is now two spaces and applied better to avoid weird hanging
lines. Additionally, the first line of a snippet is no longer
accidentially merged into the condition line, which could
cause syntax errors if the fixed line did not have
indentation.
* Detect and register python byte compiliation for public
dist-packages dirs and default "package private" dirs
similar to `dh_python3`. This is done because `debptuy`
cannot rely on `dh_python3` when it is self-hosting.
Other `dh_python3` are not ported.
* Move all of dh-debputy's files from `usr/share/debputy`
to `usr/share/dh-debputy`. In tandem with the previous
change, this causes debputy now to properly integrate with
the python byte compilation system.
* Correct the "inner" snippet order of generated maintscripts.
All postrm and prerm snippets are supposed in reverse order
and previously some snippets were not reordered correctly.
* migrate-from-dh: Reduce the output to make warnings less likely
to drown in other output.
* migrate-from-dh: Better error reporting on failed executable
dh config emulation.
* migrate-from-dh: Require an explicit --apply-changes for
migrations to performed.
