=head1 NAME
dh - debhelper command sequencer
=cut
use strict;
use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib;
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<dh> sequence [B<--with> I<addon>[,I<addon>,...]] [B<--list>] [B<--until> I<cmd>] [B<--before> I<cmd>] [B<--after> I<cmd>] [B<--remaining>] [S<I<debhelper options>>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
dh runs a sequence of debhelper commands. The supported sequences
correspond to the targets of a debian/rules file: "build", "clean",
"install", "binary-arch", "binary-indep", and "binary".
Commands in the binary-indep sequence are passed the "-i" option to ensure
they only work on binary independent packages, and commands in the
binary-arch sequences are passed the "-a" option to ensure they only work
on architecture dependent packages.
If debian/rules contains a target with a name like "override_I<dh_command>",
then when it would normally run I<dh_command>, dh will instead call that
target. The override target can then run the command with additional options,
or run entirely different commands instead. See examples below. (Note that to
use this feature, you should Build-Depend on debhelper 7.0.50 or above.)
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<--with> I<addon>[,I<addon>,...]
Add the debhelper commands specified by the given addon to appropriate places
in the sequence of commands that is run. This option can be repeated more
than once, or multiple addons can be listed, separated by commas.
This is used when there is a third-party package that provides
debhelper commands. See the PROGRAMMING file for documentation about
the sequence addon interface.
=item B<--without> I<addon>
The inverse of --with, disables using the given addon.
=item B<--list>, B<-l>
List all available addons.
=item B<--until> I<cmd>
Run commands in the sequence until and including I<cmd>, then stop.
=item B<--before> I<cmd>
Run commands in the sequence before I<cmd>, then stop.
=item B<--after> I<cmd>
Run commands in the sequence that come after I<cmd>.
=item B<--remaining>
Run all commands in the sequence that have yet to be run.
=item B<--no-act>
Prints commands that would run for a given sequence, but does not run them.
=back
All other options passed to dh are passed on to each command it runs. This
can be used to set an option like "-v" or "-X" or "-N", as well as for more
specialised options.
In the above options, I<cmd> can be a full name of a debhelper command, or
a substring. It'll first search for a command in the sequence exactly
matching the name, to avoid any ambiguity. If there are multiple substring
matches, the last one in the sequence will be used.
=cut
sub command_pos {
my $command=shift;
my @sequence=@_;
foreach my $i (0..$#sequence) {
if ($command eq $sequence[$i]) {
return $i;
}
}
my @matches;
foreach my $i (0..$#sequence) {
if ($sequence[$i] =~ /\Q$command\E/) {
push @matches, $i;
}
}
if (! @matches) {
error "command specification \"$command\" does not match any command in the sequence"
}
else {
return pop @matches;
}
}
=head1 EXAMPLES
To see what commands are included in a sequence, without actually doing
anything:
dh binary-arch --no-act
This is a very simple rules file, for packages where the default sequences of
commands work with no additional options.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
Often you'll want to pass an option to a specific debhelper command. The
easy way to do with is by adding an override target for that command.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
override_dh_strip:
dh_strip -Xfoo
override_dh_installdocs:
dh_installdocs README TODO
Sometimes the automated L<dh_auto_configure(1)> and L<dh_auto_build(1)>
can't guess what to do for a strange package. Here's how to avoid running
either and instead run your own commands.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
override_dh_auto_configure:
./mondoconfig
override_dh_auto_build:
make universe-explode-in-delight
Another common case is wanting to do something manually before or
after a particular debhelper command is run.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
override_dh_fixperms:
dh_fixperms
chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo
If your package is a python package, dh will use dh_pysupport by
default. This is how to use dh_pycentral instead.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --with python-central
Here is how to force use of perl's Module::Build build system,
which can be necessary if debhelper wrongly detects that the package
uses MakeMaker.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=perl_build
To patch your package using quilt, you can tell dh to use quilt's dh
sequence addons like this:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --with quilt
Here is an example of overriding where the dh_auto_* commands find
the package's source, for a package where the source is located in a
subdirectory.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --sourcedirectory=src
And here is an example of how to tell the dh_auto_* commands to build
in a subdirectory, which will be removed on clean.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --builddirectory=build
If your package can be built in parallel, you can support parallel building
as follows. Then I<dpkg-buildpackage -j> will work.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --parallel
Here is a way to prevent dh from running several commands that you don't
want it to run, by defining empty override targets for each command.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
# Commands not to run:
override_dh_auto_test override_dh_compress override_dh_fixperms:
Sometimes, you may need to make an override target only run commands when a
particular package is being built. This can be accomplished using
L<dh_listpackages(1)> to test what is being built. For example:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
override_dh_fixperms:
dh_fixperms
ifneq (,$(findstring foo, $(shell dh_listpackages)))
chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo
endif
Finally, remember that you are not limited to using override targets in the
rules file when using dh. You can also explicitly define any of the regular
rules file targets when it makes sense to do so. A common reason to do this
is if your package needs different build-arch and build-indep targets. For
example, a package with a long document build process can put it in
build-indep to avoid build daemons redundantly building the documentation.
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
build: build-arch build-indep ;
build-indep:
$(MAKE) docs
build-arch:
$(MAKE) bins
=head1 INTERNALS
If you're curious about dh's internals, here's how it works under the hood.
Each debhelper command will record when it's successfully run in
debian/package.debhelper.log. (Which dh_clean deletes.) So dh can tell
which commands have already been run, for which packages, and skip running
those commands again.
Each time dh is run, it examines the log, and finds the last logged command
that is in the specified sequence. It then continues with the next command
in the sequence. The B<--until>, B<--before>, B<--after>, and B<--remaining>
options can override this behavior.
dh uses the DH_INTERNAL_OPTIONS environment variable to pass information
through to debhelper commands that are run inside override targets. The
contents (and indeed, existence) of this environment variable, as the name
might suggest, is subject to change at any time.
