To make the learning curve shallower, -I want them all to behave in a standard manner: - -All debhelper programs have names beginning with "dh_". This is so we don't -pollute the name space too much. - -Debhelper programs should never output anything to standard output except -error messages, important warnings, and the actual commands they run that -modify files under debian/ and debian/tmp, etc (this last only if they are -passed -v, and if you output the commands, you should indent them with 1 tab). -This is so we don't have a lot of noise output when all the debhelper commands -in a debian/rules are run, so the important stuff is clearly visible. - -Debhelper programs should accept the options, -v, -i, -a, -p, --no-act, and --P, and any long forms of these options, like --verbose . If necessary, the -options may be ignored. - -If debhelper commands need config files, they should use -debian/package.filename as the name of the config file (replace filename -with whatever your command wants), and debian/filename should also be -checked for config information for the first binary package in -debian/control. Also, debhelper commands should accept the same sort of -information that appears in the config files, on their command lines, if -possible, and apply that information to the first package they act on. - -Debhelper programs should never modify the debian/postinst, debian/prerm, -etc scripts, instead, they can add lines to debian/postinst.debhelper, etc. -The autoscript() function (see below) is one easy way to do this. -dh_installdeb is an exception, it will run after the other commands and -merge these modifications into the actual postinst scripts. - -There are always exceptions. Just ask me. - -Introducing dh_lib: ------------------- - -All debhelper programs use the dh_lib library (actually it's a shell script) -to parse their arguments and set some useful variables. It's not mandatory -that your program use dh_lib, but it will make it a lot easier to keep it in -sync with the rest of debhelper if it does, so this is highly encouraged. - -Typically, you invoke dh_lib like this: - -PATH=debian:$PATH:/usr/lib/debhelper -. dh_lib - -The path statement is there to make your program look first in debian/ for -dh_lib (so users can install a modified version there if necessary), then the -rest of the path, then the canonical location of dh_lib, /usr/lib/debhelper. - -Argument processing: -------------------- - -All debhelper programs should respond to certain arguments, such as -v, -i, --a, and -p. To help you make this work right, dh_lib handles argument -processing. - -As soon as dh_lib loads, it processes any arguments that have been passed to -your program. The following variables may be set during this stage; your -program can use them later: - -switch variable description --v DH_VERBOSE should the program verbosely output what it is - doing? ---no-act DH_NO_ACT should the program not actually do anything? --i,-a,-p DH_DOPACKAGES a space delimited list of the binary packages - to act on --i,-p DH_DOINDEP a space delimited list of the binary independent - packages to act on --a,-p DH_DOARCH a space delimited list of the binary dependent - packages to act on --n DH_NOSCRIPTS if set, do not make any modifications to the - package's postinst, postrm, etc scripts. --X DH_EXCLUDE exclude a something from processing (you - decide what this means for your program) - DH_EXCLUDE_GREP same as DH_EXCLUDE, except all items are - separated by '|' characters, instead of spaces, - handy for egrep -v --x DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES - include conffiles. It's -x for obscure - historical reasons. --d DH_D_FLAG you decide what this means to your program --r DH_R_FLAG you decide what this means to your program --k DH_K_FLAG you decide what this means to your program --P DH_TMPDIR package build directory (implies only one - package is being acted on) --u DH_U_PARAMS will be set to a string, that is typically - parameters your program passes on to some - other program. --m DH_M_PARAMS will be set to a string, you decide what it - means to your program --V DH_V_FLAG will be set to a string, you decide what it - means to your program --V DH_V_FLAG_SET will be 1 if -V was specified, even if no - parameters were passed along with the -V --A DH_PARAMS_ALL generally means that additional command line - parameters passed to the program (other than - those processed here), will apply to all - binary packages the program acts on, not just - the first ---init-script DH_INIT_SCRIPT will be set to a string, which specifies an - init script name (probably only - dh_installinit will ever use this) - -Any additional command line parameters that do not start with "-" will be -ignored, and you can access them later just as you normally would ($1, $2, -etc). - -If you need a new command line option, just ask me, and I will add it. - -Global variables: ----------------- - -The following variables are also set, you can use any of them: - -MAINPACKAGE the name of the first binary package listed in - debian/control -DH_FIRSTPACKAGE the first package we were instructed to act on. This package - typically gets special treatment, additional arguments - specified on the command line may effect it. - -Functions: ---------- - -Dh_lib also contains a number of functions you may find useful. - -doit() - Pass this function a string that is a shell command. It will run the - command (unless DH_NO_ACT is set), and if DH_VERBOSE is set, it will - also output the command to stdout. You should use this function for - almost all commands your program performs that manipulate files in - the package build directories. -complex_doit() - This is the same as doit(), except you can pass more complicated - commands to it (ie, commands involving piping redirection) -verbose_echo() - Pass this command a string, and it will echo it if DH_VERBOSE is set. -error() - Pass this command a string, it will output it to standard error and - exit. -warning() - Pass this command a string, and it will output it to standard error - as a warning message. -tmpdir() - Pass this command the name of a binary package, it will return the - name of the tmp directory that will be used as this package's - package build directory. Typically, this will be "debian/tmp" or - "debian/package". -pkgfile() - Pass this command the name of a binary package, and the base name of a - file, and it will return the actual filename to use. This is used - for allowing debhelper programs to have configuration files in the - debian/ directory, so there can be one config file per binary - package. The convention is that the files are named - debian/package.filename, and debian/filename is also allowable for - the MAINPACKAGE. If the file does not exist, nothing is returned. -pkgext() - Pass this command the name of a binary package, and it will return - the name to prefix to files in debian/ for this package. For the - MAINPACKAGE, it returns nothing (there is no prefix), for the other - packages, it returns "package.". -isnative() - Pass this command the name of a package, it returns 1 if the package - is a native debian package. - As a side effect, VERSION is set to the version number of the - package. -autoscript() - Pass 3 parameters: - 1: script to add to - 2: filename of snippet - 3: sed commands to run on the snippet. Ie, s/#PACKAGE#/$PACKAGE/ - (optional) - This command automatically adds shell script snippets to a debian - maintainer script (like the postinst or prerm). - -Notes: ------ - -Dh_lib is still evolving. -There will probably be a perl version too, in the future. - --- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> diff --git a/README b/README deleted file mode 100644 index 986eb02c..00000000 --- a/README +++ /dev/null @@ -1,100 +0,0 @@ -Debhelper is a collection of programs that can be used in debian/rules files -to automate common tasks.

If your -source package happens to generate one architecture dependent package, and -another architecture independent package, this is not the correct behavior, -because you need to generate the architecture dependent packages in the -binary-arch debian/rules target, and the architecture independent packages -in the binary-indep debian/rules target. - -To facilitate this, as well as give you more control over which packages -are acted on by debhelper programs, all debhelper programs accept the -following parameters: - --a Act on architecture dependent packages --i Act on architecture independent packages --ppackage Act on the package named "package" (may be repeated multiple - times) - -These parameters are cumulative. If none are given, the tools default to -affecting all packages. - -See examples/rules.multi for an example of how to use this. - -Package build directories -- debian/tmp, etc: --------------------------------------------- - -By default, all debhelper programs assume that the temporary directory used -for assembling the tree of files in a package is debian/tmp for the first -package listed in debian/control, and debian/<packagename> for each -additional package. - -Sometimes, you might want to use some other temporary directory. This is -supported by the -P flag. The directory to use is specified after -P, for -example, "dh_installdocs -Pdebian/tmp", will use debian/tmp as the temporary -directory. Note that if you use -P, the debhelper programs can only be -acting on a single package at a time. So if you have a package that builds -many binary packages, you will need to use the -p flag to specify which -binary package the debhelper program will act on. For example: - - dh_installdocs -pfoolib1 -Pdebian/tmp-foolib1 - dh_installdocs -pfoolib1-dev -Pdebian/tmp-foolib1-dev - dh_installdocs -pfoolib-bin -Pdebian/tmp-foolib-bin - -This uses debian/tmp-<package> as the package build directory. - -Other notes: ------------ - -* In general, if any debhelper program needs a directory to exist under - debian/, it will create it.
