Package: maint-guide
Version: 1.2.18-svn
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Osamu sent[1] a link to the “default rules” section[2] of the new
maintainers’ guide, which is quite nice.
However, I fear it makes dh look a little more like black magic
than it really is. All my debian/rules files include something
like this:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
build clean install binary-arch binary-indep binary:
+dh --parallel $(opt_no_act) $@
opt_no_act =
ifneq (,$(findstring n,$(MAKEFLAGS)))
opt_no_act = --no-act
endif
This make it easy to use "debian/rules -n install", say, to learn what
files are run as part of the install target.
Maybe the newmaint guide could advertise the --no-act option so others
can help themselves in this way. I am thinking of something like
this:
| Lines 12 and 13 are where all the work is done. The percent sign
| matches all targets; they then call a single program, dh, passing
| the target’s name as an argument. The dh command is a wrapper
| script which runs an appropriate sequences of dh_* programs
| depending on its argument. These sequences can be listed with the
| --no-act option.
|
| For example, "debian/rules clean" runs "dh clean"; the list of
| commands that runs can be listed as follows:
|
| $ dh --no-act clean
| dh_testdir
| dh_auto_clean
| dh_clean
[...]
|
| "debian/rules build" runs "dh build", which in turn runs the
| following:
|
| dh_testdir
[...]
What do you think?
Jonathan
