NAME¶
dh-make-raku - Create debian source package from Raku module
SYNOPSIS¶
# Create a new package dh-make-raku --git=<git_url> --pkg=<pkg-name> --tag=<upstream_release_tag> # refresh a package (to be run in package dir) dh-make-raku # get new release from upstream dh-make-raku --upgrade <new_upstream_version>
REQUIREMENTS¶
This script requires:
- An account on Salsa and be part of Raku package team. See How to get involved <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianRakudoGroup#How_to_get_involved> wiki page.
- Git credentials for Salsa. See "Git credentials" section.
- Quilt <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/quilt> installed and configured. The installation should be done when installing "dh-make-raku", but the configuration must be done in your home directory. Please see Using Quilt <https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt> wiki page.
DESCRIPTION¶
When fed a "git" upstream URL, dh-make-raku does the following tasks:
- Clone upstream repository in "upstream" branch
- Create the files required to build a debian source package on "debian/sid" branch.
- Commit these files
- Create a Raku module project on Debian's salsa
- Setup "origin" remote on Salsa
This works for most simple packages and is also useful for getting started with packaging Raku modules.
Create package files¶
With upstream release tag¶
To create a new package, you must have:
- The URL of the git repository of the new module. Only "https" style URL are supported.
- Debian package name. Usually "raku-something"
- The upstream tag of the release to be packaged. See below if upstream does not use tags.
Then run a command like:
dh-make-raku --git=<git_url> --pkg=<pkg-name> --tag=<upstream_release_tag>
For instance:
dh-make-raku --git=https://git.tyil.nl/raku/Log --pkg=raku-log --tag=v0.3.1
Without upstream release tag¶
In this case, you must use a git reference instead of a tag. Usually "HEAD" is good enough. "dh-make-raku" will get upstream version from "META6.json"
For instance:
dh-make-raku --tag HEAD --git https://github.com/tadzik/File-Find.git --pkg raku-file-find
Build the package¶
Run:
gbp buildpackage
Update a package¶
Run
dh-make-raku --upgrade <new_upstream_version>
This command update the "upstream" branch and merge it in "debian/sid" branch and then update debian files.
Options¶
Git credentials¶
Be default, "dh-make-raku" gets git credentials from "~/.git-credentials" file.
If this file is not available, Salsa credentials must be provided with "DRT_SALSA_USER" and "DRT_SALSA_PRIVATE_TOKEN" environment variables.
For what it's worth, "DRT" means "Debian Raku Team".
BUGS¶
- I could not find a way to extract a description from markdown documentation. So you'll have to manually edit this field in "debian/control" or with "cme edit dpkg-control".
- The content of the generated "debian/gbp.conf" may have the wrong version tag. Edit this file manually if "gbp build-package" complains about missing tarball.
- The generated "debian/copyright" file is somewhat too verbose. This file is generated by cme <https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/cme/cme.1p.en.html>. I'm working on improving this. See cme wiki on dpkg-copyright <https://github.com/dod38fr/config-model/wiki/Updating-debian-copyright-file-with-cme> if you want to work around generation issues.
