Source README for module-assistant:
-----------------------------------
Some extra targets exist in debian/rules to help with common tasks.
+ Build the final source package:
-------------------------------
How:
make -f debian/rules source-package
Why:
- For native packages, the directory can't be changed when
dpkg-source is run, so the tarball needs to be of the
$package-$version form.
- The .git/ directory would be embedded, even with “-i”.
Summary of what it does:
- Use “git archive | gzip” to create the tarball.
- Extract it, run “debuild -S” there, clean.
What it needs:
- git (git-core).
+ Prepare a changelog entry:
--------------------------
How:
make -f debian/rules prepare-changelog
Why:
- In order to avoid duplicating git log messages directly in
debian/changelog (although it could be done thanks to
“debcommit”), and to make debian/changelog more concise (when a
commit fixes a mistake in a previous one or improves one, a
single line could be written), that target is to be called when
finalizing an upload. That way, a prospective changelog entry is
written, and can then be rephrased as wanted before it is
committed.
Summary of what it does:
- Determine the last known tag, using “git describe”.
- Determine the current branch, using “git branch”.
- Call “git-dch” with those parameters, so as to prepare a
changelog entry with all commit messages since the last known
tag.
What it needs:
- git-dch (git-buildpackage).
- git (git-core).
+ Commit the tarball to the pristine-tar branch:
----------------------------------------------
How:
make -f debian/rules pristine-tar-commit
Why:
- Make it possible to commit very easily the tarball once a
version has been built, uploaded, and tagged, so that it is
possible to regenerate the exact tarball that was uploaded, only
from the git repository.
Summary of what it does:
- Determine the version, and the tarball name.
- Make sure the tarball is available in the parent directory.
- Commit it using “pristine-tar” and the determined version.
What it needs:
- pristine-tar (pristine-tar).
