postinst: Fix check for  Ubuntu

See merge request !14

Martin Pitt authored Mar 25, 2022 and Martin Pitt committed Apr 16, 2022

dpkg-vendor lives in dpkg-dev, it cannot be used in postinst
scripts.  Check os-release for "ubuntu" instead, which will match
"ID=ubuntu" in Ubuntu itself, and "ID_LIKE=ubuntu"
in derivatives such as Mint.

LP: #1802005

Make libvirt-dbus cross-buildable

See merge request !12

We need the interpreter for the build architecture to run Python
scripts during the build.

Misc changes

See merge request !11

No changes needed.

We now use debhelper 13, which offers the ability to run custom
commands before and after standard package build steps. Using
this feature is cleaner than performing additional tasks as part
of an override.

Gbp-Dch: Ignore

This is the current recommended mode of operation.

If the build system detects that the host is running systemd,
it will generate and install an alternative configuration which
will attempt to start libvirt-dbus as a systemd service instead
of a regular process when it's not already running.

As long as Debian still supports using alternative init systems,
we should avoid configuring libvirt-dbus in a way that can only
work with systemd.

Doing this ensures that new files introduced upstream will not
sneak in the Debian package without us noticing and reviewing
them first.

Changes to user management

See merge request !10

Debian already installs a policykit rule to achieve the intended
result, and it would be confusing for the user if privileged
libvirt access was granted through two separate mechanisms.

We can still keep the code that deals with group membership
around, since doing so doesn't introduce a significant
maintenance burden for us and makes life easier for the Ubuntu
developers, but at the same time we don't want Debian users to
be affected by it so let's run it conditionally.

Gbp-Dch: Ignore

We're already doing part of the job manually because dh-sysuser
doesn't support declaring a list of additional groups that the
newly-created user should be a part of.

In addition to that, it turns out that dh-sysuser is buggy and
doesn't clean up properly when the package is purged.

Luckily our needs in terms of user management are fairly basic,
so implementing the necessary logic ourselves is not complicated.

And redirect stderr to /dev/null too.

gbp: Rename Debian branch

See merge request !9

The current version of DEP14[1] (CANDIDATE status, updated
2020-11-29) recommends using debian/latest for development.

We have been following a similar naming scheme for the libvirt
package and it's proven to be quite nice to work with, so adopt
it for libvirt-dbus too.

Prepare 1.4.0-2

See merge request !5

The following patches contain fixes that have already been
accepted upstream but are not part of any release yet:

  backport/Do-not-use-gulong-for-storing-uint64.patch
  backport/Handle-APIs-expecting-unsigned-long-correctly.patch
  backport/Handle-APIs-returning-unsigned-long-correctly.patch
  backport/tests-vcpupininfo-use-pytest.skip.patch
  backport/tests-skip-CPU-pinning-test-on-libvirt-6.6.0.patch
  backport/src-fix-double-free-of-virDomain-object.patch

In particular, known FTBFS with libvirt 6.6.0 and on 32bit
architectures such as armhf, as well as random test suite failures
that show up from time to time, are addressed.

Thanks to Christian Ehrhardt for pointing out the issue, working
to get it fixed upstream and taking a first stab at this patch.

Closes: #971171

Update to 1.4.0

See merge request !3

The file is now called NEWS.rst upstream, but if we left this
name unchanged we would not comply with Policy.

Gbp-Dch: Ignore

Meson uses a different syntax than the one used by autotools, so
we have to adapt.

Gbp-Dch: Ignore

The upstream build system is now Meson, and the manual page is
written is reStructuredText so we need python3-docutils as well.

Gbp-Dch: Ignore

It was cherry-picked from upstream, so it's no longer needed.
