Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.16.2
Severity: wishlist
Hello:
Debian policy 4.9 [1] says this about the get-orig-source target:
"This target may be invoked in any directory, and should take care to
clean up any temporary files it may have left".
If one wants to use let say:
TARBALL = $(DEB_SOURCE)_$(DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM).orig.tar.gz
and runs for example
mkdir -p temp && cd temp && ../debian/rules get-orig-source
This will generate several:
awk: cannot open debian/control (No such file or directory)
tail: cannot open `debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
and the get-orig-source routine just keeps going as normal resulting
in possibly unwanted behavior.
One of the many possible uses for pkg-info.mk is to help with
get-orig-source routines. Currently I was testing something similar to
# Get the information needed by get-orig-source.
# include /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk
# This requires dpkg-dev >= 1.16.1, hardcodes debian/{control,changelog} and
# makes get-orig-source fail when called from different paths.
DEB_DEBIAN_DIR = $(dir $(firstword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))
DEB_SOURCE = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog
-l$(DEB_DEBIAN_DIR)/changelog |\
awk '/^Source: / { print $$2 }')
DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog
-l$(DEB_DEBIAN_DIR)/changelog |\
sed -nr '/^Version:/s/Version:
(.*:)?(.*)-(.*)/\2/p')
If possible adding a DEB_DEBIAN_DIR variable and
-l$(DEB_DEBIAN_DIR)/changelog to dpkg-parsechangelog in pkg-info.mk
should make the script work as before and with get-orig-source.
Also DEB_DEBIAN_DIR is useful if one uses something like
REMOVE_DFSG = $(DEB_DEBIAN_DIR)/get-orig-source-remove
where get-orig-source-remove contains a list of all the files and
directories to remove when making a source DFSG-free.
Hope this helps and makes sense,
Miguel
