=head1 NAME tips - Debian Perl Group tips and tricks =head1 INTRODUCTION This is a small guide describing functions, aliases and scripts used by Perl team members to make life easier when packaging perl modules. Contributions are welcome. If you think you are using an interesting script or such, feel free to add it on this page. =head1 1. Scripts A lot of useful scripts can be found in the B package, either as dpt $subcommand or in F. =head1 2. Aliases # download upstream tarball and import it into git-buildpackage alias git-uscan='gbp-pull ; git-import-orig --uscan ; rm ../*.tar.gz' # quickly edit your aliases/functions # presumes ~/.aliases is loaded on shell startup alias ale='vim ~/.aliases; unalias -a; source ~/.aliases' =head1 3. Functions # afsp = apt-file search $perl; obsolete since `dh-make-perl locate' function afsp { apt-file search $(echo "/$@" | sed -e 's|::|/|g ; s|-|/|g ; s|$|.pm|') | uniq } # extract package details. used in the rest below pkg_info() { dpkg-parsechangelog|grep ^$1|cut -f2 -d' ' } # run lintian and diffstat on the package built in pbuilder result/ # directory # package name is deduced from ./debian. # all argumentts are given to lintian lpdb() { local PKG=`pkg_info Source:` local VER=`pkg_info Version:|sed 's/^.\+://'` local ARCH=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH` local PDB=/var/cache/pbuilder/result local CMD="lintian $@ -I --color=auto ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes" echo $CMD $CMD if [ -e ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}.diff.gz ]; then echo diffstat ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}.diff.gz diffstat ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}.diff.gz else echo Native package. fi } # show upstream/debian/binary differences between the version in the # archive and the built package in pbuilder result/ directory # package name deduced from ./debian/ dpdb() { local PKG=`pkg_info Source:` local VER=`pkg_info Version:|sed 's/^.\+://'` local ARCH=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH` local PDB=/var/cache/pbuilder/result BINS=`awk '/^Package: /{print $2}' < debian/control` TMP=`mktemp -d` trap "rm -r $TMP" INT TERM QUIT (cd $TMP && apt-get -t sid -d source ${PKG}) ( echo "UPSTREAM DIFF"; debdiff -w $TMP/*.dsc ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}.dsc \ | filterdiff -x '*/debian/*' ) \ | tee $PDB/${PKG}_${VER}-upstream.diff | colordiff | less -R ( echo "DEBIAN DIFF"; debdiff -w $TMP/*.dsc ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}.dsc \ | filterdiff -i '*/debian/*' ) \ | tee ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}-debian.diff | colordiff | less -R ( cd $TMP && mkdir -p archives/partial && for b in $BINS; do apt-get -o Dir::Cache=. -o Debug::NoLocking=1 install --reinstall -y -d -t sid $b/unstable; done ) ( cd $TMP && for p in $BINS; do echo "DEBDIFF $p"; echo "============"; debdiff --wl archives/${p}_*.deb ${PDB}/${p}_${VER}*.deb; echo; done ) \ | tee ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}-deb.diff \ | less -R } # debc on the package in the pbuilder result/ directory cpdb() { local PKG=`pkg_info Source:` local VER=`pkg_info Version:|sed 's/^.\+://'` local ARCH=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH` local PDB=/var/cache/pbuilder/result echo debc ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes debc ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes|less } # sign and upload the package from pbuilder result/ directory # any arguments are passed to debsign (-k $SELF useful when sponsoring) spdb() { local PKG=`pkg_info Source:` local VER=`pkg_info Version:|sed 's/^.\+://'` local ARCH=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH` local PDB=/var/cache/pbuilder/result echo debsign $* ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes debsign $* ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes echo dupload --to debian ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes dupload --to debian ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes } # upload package from pbuilder result/ directory to local apt reposutory # useful for making packages in NEW available to pbuilder lupdb() { local DEST DEST=$1 if [ -z "$DEST" ]; then echo "Synopsys: lpdb DEST" return 1 fi local PKG=`pkg_info Source:` local VER=`pkg_info Version:|sed 's/^.\+://'` local ARCH=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH` local PDB=/var/cache/pbuilder/result reprepro -b /disk1/test-repo/$DEST include sid ${PDB}/${PKG}_${VER}_${ARCH}.changes } # run development version of dh-make-perl # obsolete since pkg-perl-tools 0.74, which includes /usr/bin/dh-make-perl-dev dh-make-perl-dev() { local DHMP=~/work/debian/pkg-perl/apps/dh-make-perl PERL5LIB=$DHMP/lib $DHMP/dh-make-perl --data-dir $DHMP/share "$@" } =head1 4.
