Package: routine-update Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: ni...@thykier.net
I noticed that `routine-update` is doing its own parsing of the `debhelper` compat levels. Furthermore, it is not aware of the third way of setting compat levels (that replaces `debian/compat` for experimental compat levels - you can see it in use in the `debhelper` source code).
I would recommend that you migrate the script to use:
dh_assistant active-compat-level
from sid/testing or stable-backports.
It will produce JSON output like:
{
"active-compat-level": 13,
"declared-compat-level": 13,
"declared-compat-level-source": "Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)"
}
With `declared-compat-level` and possibly `declared-compat-level-source`
being what you are interested in. The `active-compat-level` also
accounts for the `DH_COMPAT` ENV variable, which will not be relevant in
your case (as that variable would only be used inside `d/rules`; not
outside it).
For packages without compat levels at all, the command still succeeds but each affected attribute is then set to `null`.
More documentation at `man dh_assistant`.You may also find `dh_assistant supported-compat-levels` relevant as it provides you with information about compat levels. Such as the latest stable one, or the minimum supported compat level for
`debhelper-compat (= X)` relations. Best regards, Niels
