# Debmake

This is the new debmake program written in Python.  This provides convenient
command to make a Debian package from the upstream VCS/tarball/source-tree.

This is available as the "debmake" package on Debian.

 * Homepage: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debmake
 * Default branch: main

See the HTML files in the "debmake-doc" package for the introductory guide.

These are originally generated by the output of the dh_make command.  The
output has been edited by Osamu Aoki to fit into this package.  The dh-make
package came with the GPL license with the following permissive exception:

  As a special exception, when the template files are copied by dh-make into
  dh-make output files, you may use those output files without restriction.
  This special exception was added by Craig Small in version 0.37 of dh-make.

Since this exception is permissive, I am releasing the entire source package
under permissive MIT license as above.

### History

The author thanks previous efforts on this topic (GPL):
 * debmake: command: deb-make, version up to 3.8         (shell script)
   * 1996-1997 Christoph Lameter <clameter@debian.org>
   * 1997-2006 Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>
 * dh-make: command: dh_make                             (perl script)
   * 1998-2012 Craig Small <csmall@debian.org>
     (This is active project in 2021.  Around 2016, dh-make was ported to
      python code base with major updates.)

## How to install

Debian/Ubuntu package to a system:

    $ sudo apt-get install debmake

For other POSIX system, you can create a wheel package and install it with pip
or pipx.  For example with pipx into venv.

    $ python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
    $ pipx install dist/debmake*.wheel

($PATH should be set to include ~/.local/bin )

## How to modify as contributor

1. Check-out default branch "main":
        $ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debmake.git
2. Make modification to "main" branch (or your private topic branch
   and send us your pull request or patch).

## How to update as upstream before release

1. Update `src/debmake/__init__.py` with new upstream version `4.1.2`
2. Add a new entry to the debian/changelog with the new upstream version
   ("`dch -i`" creates entry such as `4.1.1-2` --> change to `4.1.2-1`)
3. When debmake command line interface changes:
      * update debmake-doc package
      * generate a new `debmake.1` file in its source
      * copy generated `debmake.1` file into `manpages/debmake.1`
4. Update `test/.LICENSE.KEEP` if test results changes by the following:
```
        $ cd test/src; make
          ... verify it is SUCCESS
```
  (If new test case is added and it build result is good, copy the new
   `test/.LICENSE.LOG` to `test/.LICENSE.KEEP` to make
   this SUCCESS)
5. Tag it with upstream version `4.1.2` and build with
```
        $ git tag -s 4.1.2
        $ git deborig
	$ sbuild
```
6. Clean source tree with
```
        $ git clean -d -f -x
```

7. Make source only upload.
```
        $ dgit push-source
```

(Initial dgit transition needs more work with `--deliberately-not-fast-forward`
or `--overwrite`.  See dgit-maint-merge(7))

Please follow PEP-8 as much as possible.
 * format source with "black"
 * indent 4 spaces
 * 80 char/line
 * Coding style exceptions:
   * line for debug code -> single line for ease of "grep"
   * some regex (max 100 char/line) for readability

## Debug the source code without installing it as deb package

There are 2 debugging purpose executable files for the Debian package:
 * `/usr/lib/debmake/debmake-lc`
 * `/usr/lib/debmake/debmake-dep5`

These are not meant to be general use and has no manpage so they are moved out
of /usr/bin for Debian package.  These can help check situation inside debmake
for debug purpose.

The source code can be tested by installing its wheel package to your user
environment.

```
 $ python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
 $ pipx install dist/debmake*.whl
```
Here, I use pipx to install debmake module into venv and let it set symlinks in
~/.local/bin` to executable files for debugging.  Now all scripts such as
`debmake` providing `debmake` equivalent command, `debmake-lc` providing
`/usr/lib/debmake/debmake-lc` command equivalent, `debmake-dep5` providing
`/usr/lib/debmake/debmake-dep5` command equivalent can be executed
independently from the command line for debugging.

 * ```debmake [-h] [-c | -k] [-n | -a package-version.tar.gz | -d | -t]```
```
               [-p package] [-u version] [-r revision] [-z extension]
               [-b binarypackage[:type]] [-e foo@example.org]
               [-f "firstname lastname"] [-i [debuild|pdebuild|...] | -j]
               [-l "license_file"] [-m] [-o "file"] [-q] [-s] [-v] [-w args]
               [-x [01234]] [-y] [-L] [-P] [-T]
```
 * ```debmake-dep5.py [-s|-c|-t|-i|--] <file>```
```
        -s  selftest
        -c  extract copyright info as formatted text
        -t  extract license info as plain text
        -i  check license ID with extra info
        --  check license ID and extract copyright (default)
```
 * ```debmake-lc.py [-][1|2|3|4|5|6] <files ...>```

```
   check <files ...> for license ID in different mode of -c options in debmake
        1: -c        license ID
        2: -cc       license ID + license text
        3: -ccc      license ID + license text + extra
        -1: -cccc    license ID + internal ID
        -2: -ccccc   license ID + internal ID + license text
        -4: -cccccc  license ID + internal ID + license text + extra
        5: sub-string match for debug
        6: combination sub-string match for debug
```

There are ways to test these code in place without installing them.  One way is
to set up the module loading path `$PYTHONPATH` to `src/`; and the command
search path `$PATH` to be extended to include `src/debmake/` respectively from
where `setup.py` is found by sourcing as:
```
          $ source setenv
```

Now all scripts are available to the shell as:
 * `__main__.py` providing `/usr/bin/debmake` equivalent
 * `lc.py` providing `/usr/lib/debmake/debmake-lc` equivalent
 * `checkdep5.py` providing `/usr/lib/debmake/debmake-dep5` equivalent

An alternative approach to start debamke's `main()` in place is:

```
 $ cd src
 $ python3 -m debmake
```

The last one doesn't need to set up environment variables `$PATH` and
`$PYTHONPATH` but your working directory must be at `src/`.

Since setting proper environment variables `$PATH` and `$PYTHONPATH` or
executing a command from a particular path are confusing, I don't recommend
testing code in place.

Trouble shoot hints:
 * What to do for strange string contaminating license info?
   *  => Fix `check_lines()`       in src/debmake/checkdep5.py
 * What to do for incorrect range calculation for copyright years.
   *  => Fix `analyze_copyright()` in src/debmake/checkdep5.py
 * What to do for strange license type assignment?
   * => Fix `lc()`                in src/debmake/lc.py

## Hints for reading the source

How copyright files are scanned by debmake in normal usage?

```
    -k option execution  --> debmake/kludge.py    kludge()
    -c option execution  +-> debmake/scanfiles.py scanfiles()
                         +-> debmake/checkdep5.py checkdep5()
    normal execution     --> debmake/debian.py    debian()
                         +-> debmake/copyright.py copyright()
                                 Here, copyformat() gets:
                                   para['package']
                                   para['license']
                                   para['cdata']
                                   para['xml_html_files']
                                   para['binary_files']
                                   para['huge_files']
               These are set by debmake/analyze.py analyze(para) calling:
                                   -+--> debmake/scanfiles.py scanfiles()
                                    +--> debmake/checkdep5.py checkdep5()
```

(PATH are relative to `src/`)

What does `scanfiles()` do?
  * Scan all files in source tree and make list of files for each category:
    * nonlink_files, xml_html_files, binary_files, huge_files
  * extensions holds all file extension types

What does `checkdep5()` do?
  * Scan nonlink_files and return summary of copyright info as cdata
  by 3 step operations:
```
        adata = check_all_licenses()
        bdata = bunch_all_licenses(adata)
        cdata = format_all_licenses(bdata)
              = [(licenseid, licensetext, files, copyright_lines), ...]
```
What does `check_all_licenses()` do?
```
    for each file:
      (copyright_data, license_lines) = checkdep5(file, ...)
        This extract copyright iand license information section
        out of file using check_lines()
      norm_text = debmake.lc.normalize(license_lines)
        This normalize copyright info.
      (licenseid, licensetext, permissive) = debmake.lc.lc(norm_text, ...)
        This characterize license info from norm_text
        Here, md5hashkey is used to optimize operation speed
