Package: dh-autoreconf Version: 20 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi,In debhelper/13.26, `dh_assistant list-guessed-dh-config-files` will now report `debhelper` commands that does not declare which config files it supports. As an example:
```shell
$ dh_assistant list-guessed-dh-config-files
{
"commands-not-introspectable": [
"dh_autoreconf",
"dh_strip_nondeterminism"
],
# ... more JSON here, omitted for brevity
}
```
This is in turn used by `debputy migrate-from-dh` to warn people when
`debhelper` config files might be overlooked.
In case of `dh-autoreconf`, there are two helpers. * `dh_autoreconf`: Not introspectable currently. * `dh_autoreconf_clean`: Introspectable (NOOP promise)I believe this bug can be fixed by adding the following comment anywhere in the `dh_autoreconf` command (the file found PATH - imports are not followed):
``` # INTROSPECTABLE: CONFIG-FILES path(debian/autoreconf) ``` My argument here is that: 1) The helper can never be skipped (so NOOP promise is not valid) 2) The helper reacts to `debian/autoreconf` if present.If either of these are false, then please review `doc/PROGRAMMING.md` in debhelper/13.26 for alternatives or reply back to me for assistance.
Best regards, NielsPS: The NOOP promise also accepts the `path(...)` from `debhelper/13.26`. In theory, `dh_autoreconf_clean` could now use `path(debian/autoreconf.before) path(debian/autoreconf.after)` in its NOOP promise. However, since `debhelper/13.25` and older does not understand that hint, it is probably best to leave the current hint as-is despite being a bit too overreaching.
