2018-05-04libdpkg: Introduce frontend lockingJulian Andres Klode1-0/+4
Currently, in order to run dpkg, frontends have to release the database lock before invoking dpkg and re-acquire it afterwards, leaving a short time where the database is unlocked and a different dpkg process or frontend could lock it. Frontend locking addresses the problem by creating a "lock-frontend" file that is acquired by the frontend and not released for dpkg invocations. Thus, multiple frontends cannot race for the database lock. This change extends the frontend lock to dpkg itself, acquiring it whenever the variable DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED is not set, so that a user manually running dpkg or a frontend not supporting this protocol cannot interfere with a currently running frontend. [guillem@debian.org: - Add documentation. - Rename frontend lock file. - Fix error strings. ] Signed-off-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
2018-05-03dpkg-divert: Warn when using --add or --remove w/o --rename or --no-renameGuillem Jover1-1/+3
Using --no-rename as the default optimizes for the wrong case, as that's the exception, and while the safest option, it is needed only by packages that are part of the pseudo-Essential set. It's also cumbersome for the --local case. We will emit a warning asking those to be explicit, so that we can switch the default to --rename during the 1.20.x cycle. Prompted-by: Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>
2018-05-03dpkg-divert: Add new --no-rename optionGuillem Jover1-1/+11
Document its intended usage and how it differs from --rename. This will make it possible to do a behavior switch during the 1.20.x release cycle.

2018-01-16dpkg-buildpackage: Add new --rules-requires-rootGuillem Jover1-0/+4
This new option makes it possible to force falling back to the legacy behavior of assuming that debian/rules files require root.
2018-01-16spec/R³: Add new DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT variableGuillem Jover1-0/+7
This variable is set by the builder to notify debian/rules that it supports this specification. Wordsmithing-by: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>
2018-01-16spec/R³: Rename DPKG_GAIN_ROOT_CMD to DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMDGuillem Jover1-1/+1
This variable should not be dpkg specific, as it is supposed to be set by any builder driving the package build, and not just dpkg itself. Introduce ephemereal backwards compatibility by mapping the old name to the new one, even thught there are no known users.

2017-10-13dpkg-buildflags: Add support for new future feature areaGuillem Jover1-1/+11
This new area includes an lfs feature, to be used instead of the getconf(1) interfaces which cannot support cross-building.
2017-10-12scripts: Add support for source package Description and substvarsGuillem Jover3-0/+29
We support a new source package Description field in debian/control that will be copied into the .dsc file. The field will also be used to initialize the new source:Synopsis and source:Extended-Description substvars that will be available when generating the DEBIAN/control and .changes files. Closes: #555743
2017-10-12dpkg-genchanges: Honor substvars in Description fieldGuillem Jover1-2/+4
This field can have substvars applied in the binary package, so it is a safe replacement compared to all other output fields. More so with the newly introduced S:<source-field> style automatic substvars. Closes: #856547
2017-10-12dpkg-genbuildinfo: Add support for new Build-Kernel-Version fieldGuillem Jover2-0/+12
Packages intended to be built in a generic way must never rely on the currently running kernel on the build system (an exception could be an optimization rebuild using the current system as the reference baseline). But to be able to detect when a package might not be reproducible due to varying kernel information it is still useful to be able to record this information. Although that information can be very sensitive. When the builder has explicitly enabled the Build-Kernel-Version field with the new dpkg-genbuildinfo --always-include-kernel option, it will get included in the generated .buildinfo file. Closes: #873937

2017-09-07man: Document trailing commas as valid in debian/control dependency fieldsGuillem Jover1-5/+10
