Subject: dpkg-dev: dpkg-buildpackage should allow hooks to be specified via environment variable or configuration file
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 17:48:01 +0200
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.17.18
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
according to dpkg-buildpackage's man page there seems no other way to
specify hooks as via the --hook-* commandline parameter.
If I'm right with that observation, please implement a way to specify
hooks environment variable or configuration file
If I'm wrong, please document these ways, e.g. by mentioning them with
an example under the --hook-* section or in the ENVIRONMENT section.
TIA!
(This is yet another debuild-feature I can't find in dpkg-buildpackage.)

Of course just after having sent that mail, I likely found the
solution: $DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS should be a way to specify
hooks via the environment.
So maybe mentioning it explicitly in the --hook-* section would be
nice. (A separate configuration file or such would be even nicer.)
Not closing the bug report due to these two wishes, but feel free to
close it yourself without any code or documentation changes.

... which is a debuild feature. Had debuild's and dpkg-buildpackage's
man pages open in two terminals and looked in the wrong one. Sorry for
the noise.
So the feature request still stands. :-)

Yes, I'm planning on adding config file supportthis during the 1.18.x
cycle. Merging with the existing request.

This would be great.
There is currently no way to implement sanity checks on the source
tarball. As people can have different environment variables on their
system that affect which file gets ignored, it would help preventing bad
uploads.

* Do not disable PIE buildflags on */kFreeBSD anymore. Closes: #823877
Thanks to Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>.
* Add new long options in dpkg-buildpackage for any short option that is
a useful configurable candidate.
* Add configuration file support to dpkg-buildpackage, as buildpackage.conf
under either the dpkg system or user configuration directories.
Closes: #539692, #765494
* Check that debian/tests/control is a regular file before parsing it.
* Generate Testsuite-Triggers field from test dependencies in dpkg-source
into .dsc files. Based on a patch by Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>.
Closes: #779559
* Add new dpkg-source --no-overwrite-dir extraction option. Closes: #826334
* Fix number of entries computation returned by sysctl() on */kFreeBSD in
start-stop-daemon.
* Set return buffer length for sysctl(2) calls on */kFreeBSD in
start-stop-daemon.
* Abstract ar archive handling behind a new struct dpkg_ar and functions.
* On dpkg --force-chrootless only set changedir to instdir if defined.
Thanks to Niall Walsh <niallwalsh@celtux.org>. Closes: #824542
* Set primary group to 0 in dpkg when running as root.
Reported by Stuart Prescott <stuart@debian.org>.
* Activate file triggers for conffiles on purge, which has never happened
before. Before dpkg 1.17.0, conffiles were triggered on removal, which
was obviously wrong. Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* Fix strtol() errno check when parsing the COLUMNS envvar in dpkg-query.
Thanks to Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>. Closes: #827265
* Use new GNU tar --clamp-mtime option in dpkg-deb to make sure no file in
binary packages has an mtime later than the given time. Closes: #759886
* Use the same timestamp for the ar container as for tarball mtime clamping
in dpkg-deb.
* Set ar timestamp and tar mtime clamping to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if defined
in dpkg-deb. Base on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
* Preset build timestamp to latest changelog entry in dpkg-buildpackage,

defined. Based on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
Closes: #759999
* Do not use the debian/rules build target fallback when building both
architecture independent and dependent packages in dpkg-buipdpackage.
* Use architecture «all» as part of the .changes filename when building
architecture independent binaries and no architecture dependent binaries.
Closes: #826161
* Do not emit warnings from dpkg-genchanges for automatic debug symbol
packages that are not found in debian/control.
* Export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from pkg-info.mk makefile snippet.
Closes: #824572
* Architecture support:
- Add TILE-Gx support to cputable. Closes: #823167
Thanks to Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* Perl modules:
- Use warnings::warnif() instead of carp() for deprecated warnings.
- Add new format_range() method and deprecate dpkg() and rfc822() methods
in Dpkg::Changelog.
- Replace changelog program parsers with perl modules.
- Add a getter for the Time::Piece object in Dpkg::Changelog.
- Add new Timestamp field to Dpkg::Changelog output, which ends up on
dpkg-parsechangelog's output.
- Validate source version in set_version_substvars()'s Dpkg::Substvars
method.
- Revert "Dpkg::Conf: Switch implementation to be hash based", as this
change broke backwards compatibility in multiple ways. The format_argv
option was set by default, the order was not preserved, which was
important for dpkg.cfg files, and duplicate option names stopped being
supported. Add regression tests to avoid similar changes in the future.
Closes: #824938
- Add support for system and user config loading in Dpkg::Conf.
- Add support for autopkgtest control files, with new CTRL_TESTS control
type, new recognized fields to Dpkg::Control::Fields, and new modules
Dpkg::Control::Tests and Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry. Also update
Dpkg::Index to support these.
- Fix Dpkg::Deps so that architecture qualifiers only imply one another
if they are the same. Closes: #745366, #827628
- Add support for new environment variable DEB_BUILD_PATH to be able to
control the path in the fixdebugpath feature in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
- Preserve order when prepending shared library paths in Dpkg::Shlibs.
This fixes the order of paths passed via dpkg-shlibdeps -l option.
Closes: #823805
- Check whether dependency restrictions are implied in Dpkg::Deps::Simple.
Thanks to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>. Closes: #827633
- Disable upstream tar signature when building format 1.0 source packages
in Dpkg::Source::Package::V1, as the current stable dpkg series do not
support extracting them.
- Preset Last-Update field in patch header template with current time in
Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Thanks to Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@apache.org>.
Closes: #828146
* Packaging:
- Disable libmd usage in Debian and derivatives for now.
* Build system:
- Stop allowing to set deprecated bzip2 compressor as dpkg-deb default.
- Use libmd automatically if available.
- Uniformize library build options, from --with-zlib to --with-libz,
--with-bz2 to --with-libbz2 and --with-selinux to --with-libselinux.
* Test suite:
- Bump perlcritic ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators minimum
to 99999.
- Add new pod-spell unit test.
- Refactor common unit test checks for needed things into Test::Dpkg.
- Accept perl's Lancaster Consensus AUTHOR_TESTING variable.
- Add new minimum perl version unit test.
- Add new synopsis unit test.
- Add unit tests for dependency simplification with build profiles.
* Documentation:
- Improve dpkg-buildpackage(1) on environment expectations.
- Clarify the format of the db:Status-Abbrev virtual field in
dpkg-query(1). Closes: #824515
- Document the tar entry size limitation for deb(5) format.
- Document interaction between PIE and libraries in dpkg-buildflags(1).
Based on text by Christian Seiler <christian@iwakd.de>.
- Merge ENVIRONMENT sections in dpkg-buildflags(1).
- Document various long options in dpkg-source --help output.
- Move dpkg-source -q option from “Build options” to “General options”
section in --help output.
- Clarify shared library search order in dpkg-shlibdeps(1).
- Remove most remaining AUTHOR sections from man an POD, as they are
strongly discouraged, for being redundant, tending to get out-of-sync,
and their format being inconsistent. In addition most got already
removed in the past for the man pages.
- Mark perlcritic as an optional author test dependency in the README.
- Fix example code in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle SYNOPSIS.

* Abstract ar archive handling behind a new struct dpkg_ar and functions.
* On dpkg --force-chrootless only set changedir to instdir if defined.
Thanks to Niall Walsh <niallwalsh@celtux.org>. Closes: #824542
* Set primary group to 0 in dpkg when running as root.
Reported by Stuart Prescott <stuart@debian.org>.
* Activate file triggers for conffiles on purge, which has never happened
before. Before dpkg 1.17.0, conffiles were triggered on removal, which
was obviously wrong. Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* Fix strtol() errno check when parsing the COLUMNS envvar in dpkg-query.
Thanks to Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>. Closes: #827265
* Use new GNU tar --clamp-mtime option in dpkg-deb to make sure no file in
binary packages has an mtime later than the given time. Closes: #759886
* Use the same timestamp for the ar container as for tarball mtime clamping
in dpkg-deb.
* Set ar timestamp and tar mtime clamping to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if defined
in dpkg-deb. Base on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
* Preset build timestamp to latest changelog entry in dpkg-buildpackage,
by setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable if it is not already
defined. Based on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
Closes: #759999
* Do not use the debian/rules build target fallback when building both
architecture independent and dependent packages in dpkg-buipdpackage.
* Use architecture «all» as part of the .changes filename when building
architecture independent binaries and no architecture dependent binaries.
Closes: #826161
* Do not emit warnings from dpkg-genchanges for automatic debug symbol
packages that are not found in debian/control.
* Export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from pkg-info.mk makefile snippet.
Closes: #824572
* Architecture support:
- Add TILE-Gx support to cputable. Closes: #823167
Thanks to Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* Perl modules:
- Use warnings::warnif() instead of carp() for deprecated warnings.
- Add new format_range() method and deprecate dpkg() and rfc822() methods
in Dpkg::Changelog.
- Replace changelog program parsers with perl modules.
- Add a getter for the Time::Piece object in Dpkg::Changelog.
- Add new Timestamp field to Dpkg::Changelog output, which ends up on
dpkg-parsechangelog's output.
- Validate source version in set_version_substvars()'s Dpkg::Substvars
method.
- Revert "Dpkg::Conf: Switch implementation to be hash based", as this
change broke backwards compatibility in multiple ways. The format_argv
option was set by default, the order was not preserved, which was
important for dpkg.cfg files, and duplicate option names stopped being
supported. Add regression tests to avoid similar changes in the future.
Closes: #824938
- Add support for system and user config loading in Dpkg::Conf.
- Add support for autopkgtest control files, with new CTRL_TESTS control
type, new recognized fields to Dpkg::Control::Fields, and new modules
Dpkg::Control::Tests and Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry. Also update
Dpkg::Index to support these.
- Fix Dpkg::Deps so that architecture qualifiers only imply one another
if they are the same. Closes: #745366, #827628
- Add support for new environment variable DEB_BUILD_PATH to be able to
control the path in the fixdebugpath feature in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
- Preserve order when prepending shared library paths in Dpkg::Shlibs.
This fixes the order of paths passed via dpkg-shlibdeps -l option.
Closes: #823805
- Check whether dependency restrictions are implied in Dpkg::Deps::Simple.
Thanks to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>. Closes: #827633
- Disable upstream tar signature when building format 1.0 source packages
in Dpkg::Source::Package::V1, as the current stable dpkg series do not
support extracting them.
- Preset Last-Update field in patch header template with current time in
Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Thanks to Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@apache.org>.
Closes: #828146
* Packaging:
- Disable libmd usage in Debian and derivatives for now.
* Build system:
- Stop allowing to set deprecated bzip2 compressor as dpkg-deb default.
- Use libmd automatically if available.
- Uniformize library build options, from --with-zlib to --with-libz,
--with-bz2 to --with-libbz2 and --with-selinux to --with-libselinux.
* Test suite:
- Bump perlcritic ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators minimum
to 99999.
- Add new pod-spell unit test.
- Refactor common unit test checks for needed things into Test::Dpkg.
- Accept perl's Lancaster Consensus AUTHOR_TESTING variable.
- Add new minimum perl version unit test.
- Add new synopsis unit test.
- Add unit tests for dependency simplification with build profiles.
* Documentation:
- Improve dpkg-buildpackage(1) on environment expectations.
- Clarify the format of the db:Status-Abbrev virtual field in
dpkg-query(1). Closes: #824515
- Document the tar entry size limitation for deb(5) format.
- Document interaction between PIE and libraries in dpkg-buildflags(1).
Based on text by Christian Seiler <christian@iwakd.de>.
- Merge ENVIRONMENT sections in dpkg-buildflags(1).
- Document various long options in dpkg-source --help output.
- Move dpkg-source -q option from “Build options” to “General options”
section in --help output.
- Clarify shared library search order in dpkg-shlibdeps(1).
- Remove most remaining AUTHOR sections from man an POD, as they are
strongly discouraged, for being redundant, tending to get out-of-sync,
and their format being inconsistent. In addition most got already
removed in the past for the man pages.
- Mark perlcritic as an optional author test dependency in the README.
- Fix example code in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle SYNOPSIS.
