Add a --repository flag taking the full suite URL of an external flat
repository (e.g. https://pkg.noctalia.dev/deb/resolute/), i.e. one with
no dists/ hierarchy, like apt's exact-path suites ('Suites: resolute/').
The suite name is read from the root Release file (Codename/Suite), the
sources index is fetched from the repository root as Sources.xz/gz/plain,
and package files are resolved against the URL root, ignoring the stanza
Directory field like apt does. As with PPAs, the stanza Vcs-Git is never
used for external repositories, so the source always comes from the
repository itself.
Also make the sources index parser detect compression by magic bytes
(gz/xz/plain) instead of assuming gzip, and fix extraction of archives
with './'-prefixed entries, which previously aborted and are now
extracted in place instead of being relocated.
Route 'pkh build' through the DebUi capture machinery 'pkh deb'
already uses instead of letting dpkg-source inherit the terminal:
- pin LANG=C and LC_ALL=C so dpkg-source emits deterministic English
diagnostics regardless of the session locale;
- new DpkgSourceClassifier rewrites info:/warning:/error: lines into
colored pane entries, telling benign tar warnings from failures;
- DebUi generalizes for reuse (arbitrary phase labels, build-specific
log naming); run_source_build() drives phases and pipes subprocess
output through the sink when a UI is present;
- glyph-free house-style summaries: 'Built in Ns:' plus artifact
paths relative to cwd; failures print captured errors + log path;
- drop/capitalize pipeline chatter, add 'pkh build --verbose' to
bypass the view like 'pkh deb --verbose'.
Extend the metadata writers to binary-only uploads and wire them into
the 'pkh deb' flow:
- build/binary.rs generates <pkg>_<ver>_<arch>.buildinfo/.changes
through any Context: debian/files consumption, encounter-order
Architecture accumulation (sorted in .buildinfo like dpkg-genbuildinfo),
sorted Binary lists, dpkg-formatted Description lines with udeb
suffixes, Installed-Build-Depends closure over the context status DB,
and binNMU handling (Source: pkg (prev), Binary-Only-Changes, previous
.dsc redistribution);
- artifact digests are computed inside the context via coreutils
(md5sum/sha1sum/sha256sum/stat) so chrooted/remote trees work;
- deb/local.rs runs the generation after 'rules binary', exports
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from the changelog (reproducibility), and resolves
vendor/profiles inside the context; deb/mod.rs retrieves the new
artifacts alongside the debs;
- reusable helpers added: FilesList::parse/render,
parse_changelog_entry_from_str, parse_previous_version_from_str,
installed_build_depends_from_content.
Differential gate: same tree built with real 'dpkg-buildpackage -b' and
with the pkh flow; .changes/.buildinfo compared field-by-field modulo
machine-dependent fields, artifact checksums included.
Replace dpkg-checkbuilddeps with a native implementation:
- full dependency grammar: comma clauses, | alternatives, << <= = >= >>
relations, :arch qualifiers (any/native/specific), [arch lists] and
<profile restriction> formulas per alternative;
- restriction reduction against active build profiles and the host arch
at parse time (reduce_restrictions semantics);
- evaluation against a parsed dpkg status database with Multi-Arch
semantics (foreign/allowed) and versioned Provides rules (unversioned
provides never satisfy versioned deps; versioned ones must satisfy the
relation);
- clause simplification with implication-based deduplication, rendering
dpkg-compatible 'unmet build dependencies/conflicts' diagnostics.
check_build_depends() consumes debian/control + CheckOpts (-A/-B/-I
equivalents). run_source_build performs the check when forced (-D
parity); source-only builds skip it entirely like dpkg-buildpackage,
and unsatisfied deps propagate as UnmetBuildDependencies -> exit 3.
Unit tests port the Dpkg_Deps.t reduction matrices; differential gate
runs 24 scenarios (alternatives, versions, arch/profile restrictions,
Multi-Arch, Provides, conflicts, -A/-B flags) against real
dpkg-checkbuilddeps comparing exit status and diagnostics.
Implement the documented dpkg ordering algorithm (Debian Policy 5.6.1):
numeric epoch, then upstream/revision compared as alternating non-digit
and digit chunks, with '~' ordering before anything including the empty
chunk and letters before non-letters in non-digit chunks.
Adds Ord/PartialOrd for DebianVersion, a free compare() and a
later_than() convenience.
Unit tests port all vectors from dpkg's scripts/t/Dpkg_Version.t plus
Ubuntu-flavored cases (security uploads, ~ppa1 backports). Differential
gate: every vector cross-checked against real 'dpkg --compare-versions'
for <<, <=, =, >= and >>.
Embed dpkg's factual cputable/ostable/tupletable/abitable data and
implement tuple/triplet/multiarch lookups, wildcard matching, arch
restriction evaluation and the full DEB_BUILD_*/DEB_HOST_*/DEB_TARGET_*
environment dump natively.
build/env.rs::arch_env now delegates to the native implementation
instead of shelling out to 'dpkg-architecture -f'.
Differential gate (build/mod.rs): arch_env(Some(a)) must equal real
'dpkg-architecture -f -a a' key-for-key for every architecture listed by
'dpkg-architecture -L', plus the native case. Data tables carry upstream
attribution comments; no dpkg code was transliterated.
Add an automated differential test harness in build/mod.rs that builds
the same source tree twice - once with real 'dpkg-buildpackage -S
-I -i -nc -d --no-sign', once with the native pipeline - and compares
all produced artifacts:
- .dsc payload byte-for-byte,
- .changes field-by-field (checksum lines of the .buildinfo itself
excluded, as its content legitimately differs on machine-dependent
fields),
- .buildinfo structure (Installed-Build-Depends, Environment,
Build-Date and Build-Tainted-By excluded).
Move the generic components out of src/build/ into a new src/debian/
module so they can be reused independently of the build pipeline:
deb822 control parsing (plus the debian/control model), file checksum
registry, debian/files registry, Debian version handling and changelog
entry parsing.
Merge OpenPGP clearsigning into utils/gpg.rs next to the existing key
discovery helper, making signing available outside of builds.
Delegate changelog.rs header/footer parsing to the new
debian::changelog parser, removing the duplicate regex implementation.
src/build/ keeps only build-specific logic: the pipeline driver,
build types, environment setup and the .buildinfo/.changes writers.
Replace the 'dpkg-buildpackage -S' wrapper with a native pipeline in
src/build/:
- deb822 control parser/writer with dpkg-compatible multiline rendering
(control.rs)
- md5/sha1/sha256 checksum registry, insertion-ordered like dpkg's
artifact accumulation (checksums.rs)
- Debian version splitting/validation and full changelog entry parsing,
including binNMU binary-only entries (metadata.rs)
- build-type bitflags and rules-target/artifact-suffix mapping
(buildtype.rs)
- environment setup: SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS,
dpkg-architecture env dump, vendor default profiles and the sanitized
Environment field recorded in .buildinfo (env.rs)
- debian/files registry with atomic saves (files.rs)
- native .buildinfo writer, including the Installed-Build-Depends
closure computed over the dpkg status database (buildinfo.rs)
- native .changes writer emitting dpkg's canonical field order with
legacy Files + Checksums-Sha1/Sha256 (changes.rs)
- gpgme clearsigning with the transitive checksum cascade
(dsc -> buildinfo -> changes), key discovery from the changelog
maintainer and UNRELEASED no-sign handling (sign.rs)
dpkg-source (-b/--before-build/--after-build) intentionally remains a
subprocess; debian/rules execution is unchanged.
Validated differentially against real dpkg-buildpackage -S -I -i -nc -d
on native and 3.0 (quilt) fixture packages: .dsc byte-identical, .changes
payload matches modulo machine-dependent Installed-Build-Depends and
Environment content, all signatures verify with gpg, artifact ordering
and UNRELEASED no-sign behavior match dpkg.
