 ## update and maintain such data in one unique place
 ## The goal is to have the minimal possible set of data necessary
 ## to grab the actual data. For example we don't want to store every Ubuntu
-## or Debian series, but rather an URL where we can properly access that data.
+## or Debian series, but rather pointers to where that data lives: each dist
-dist_info:
+## entry below carries its series sources (the local distro-info CSV, with
-  local: /usr/share/distro-info/{dist}
+## the network URL as fallback).
-  network: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/distro-info-data/-/raw/main/
+##
 ## Per-dist keys beyond the series pointers:
 ##   mirrors:        the archive mirrors, each a URL serving a set of
 ##                   architectures: `primary` (the main archive, whose url
 ##                   doubles as the dist's base URL) and, where they exist,
 ##                   the others (`ports`). `security_url` is the sibling
 ##                   host serving the -security pocket for the same arches
 ##                   (ports mirrors serve their own security); `archs` is
 ##                   an explicit list, or the `all` sentinel when one
 ##                   mirror serves every architecture (Debian's case — an
 ##                   exhaustive list would rot each time an arch is added).
 ##                   Host matching treats a URI as official when its host
 ##                   equals a mirror host or is a subdomain of it, so the
 ##                   country mirrors (fr.archive.ubuntu.com) count too.
 ##   components:     the archive components (main, universe, contrib, ...)
 ##                   a cross-build environment enables on official sources.
 ##                   Live archive operations keep resolving components from
 ##                   Release files; this is the offline default.
 ##   cross_pockets:  the pockets a cross-build environment enables for a
 ##                   series (`<series>-updates`, ...). Deliberately not the
 ##                   `pockets` key: that one is the *search order* of pull,
 ##                   where backports must not fold in.
 ##   build_profiles: the vendor's default DEB_BUILD_PROFILES (Ubuntu
 ##                   activates derivative.ubuntu noudeb, Debian none),
 ##                   mirroring what Dpkg::BuildProfiles resolves when the
 ##                   variable is unset.

 ## Forge hosts recognized by `pkh new` origin detection, with the

 ## License knowledge of `pkh new`, in one place: the wizard menu labels
 ## (src/new/questions.rs), the spellings accepted by License::parse and the
 ## SPDX URL template (src/new/options.rs), and the license-file sniffing
 ## inputs (src/new/detect.rs) all read this table, so the three lists —
 ## previously kept in sync by comments only — cannot drift apart anymore.
 ## Adding or changing a curated license is one entry below.
 ##
 ## Keys:
 ##   id:             SPDX identifier: written to debian/copyright, returned
 ##                   by the license sniff and substituted into
 ##                   license_url_template (minus a trailing '+' of the
 ##                   "or later" spellings)
 ##   menu:           label offered by the wizard license question (the
 ##                   free-text "Other (enter a SPDX identifier)" entry
 ##                   stays in Rust — it is UX, not data)
 ##   spellings:      inputs accepted by License::parse, matched
 ##                   case-insensitively; each entry must accept its own id
 ##                   (a consistency test in options.rs locks ids, spellings
 ##                   and the License enum together)
 ##   detect_markers: marker sets driving the LICENSE/COPYING text sniff of
 ##                   detect.rs. A set matches when every marker of `all`
 ##                   occurs in the lowercased license text and none of
 ##                   `unless` does; an entry matches when any of its sets
 ##                   does. The sets are written to be mutually exclusive:
 ##                   the `unless` markers keep multi-license texts on the
 ##                   entry carrying the stronger reference (a MIT-named
 ##                   file also quoting the GPL or the Apache license is a
 ##                   GPL/Apache file) and keep GPL sets off LGPL texts,
 ##                   whose name contains theirs. The entry order below
 ##                   (menu order) therefore only breaks ties.
 ##
 ## detect_files (top level): the candidate license file names the sniff
 ## reads, in preference order, shared by every license (the case-variant
 ## directory scan around them stays in Rust).
 ##
 ## license_url_template: the SPDX license page URL, with {id} substituted
 ## for the debian/copyright reference paragraph.
 ##
 ## The behavioral lock for the markers is the LICENSE_TEXTS test table in
 ## src/new/detect.rs: a bad marker edit fails those tests, not packages.

vhaudiquet	ffac4d6b57	new: port the shell, empty, makefile and go templates to manifests Move the four templates' static file bodies into .tpl files under data/templates/<id>/, referenced by their manifests' files: lists — the shell skeleton script (executable, {command}-named) with its skeleton-only debian/install mapping, the empty template's stub README, the makefile hello.c/Makefile skeleton with its skeleton-only install mapping, and go's go.mod/main.go skeleton (the go directive of go.mod stays a literal: nothing about it is answer-derived). The empty template ends up hookless — zero Rust, its registry entry points at no hooks — and src/new/templates/empty.rs is deleted. The shell and go hooks shrink to their probes (plus go's {go_import_path} context value); the makefile hooks keep only the existing-tree hint probing the packaged Makefile for a phony install: target, since that heuristic reads the tree and cannot be data.	2026-09-18 14:58:13 +02:00
vhaudiquet	04a572cd77	new: template manifests and registry infrastructure Split the Template trait into a data half and a logic half. Every template is now declared by a manifest under data/templates/<id>/ (CLI id, wizard label, detection markers, Build-Depends, architecture, rules dh line, rules-extra body, control source fields, gitignore entries and static file bodies with {placeholder} substitution), embedded through the TEMPLATE_SOURCES index and parsed once into the registry; the order of the index is the wizard menu order and the detection priority at once. The logic half is the slim TemplateHooks trait (probe, post_write, file-body overrides merged over the manifest bodies by path shadowing, Build-Depends/architecture amendments and extra context values), registered per template as a HOOKS static: a template without hooks needs zero Rust. - TemplateId becomes a Copy wrapper of the stable CLI string; the enum, its all/as_str/display_name/from_label matches and the old statics array collapse into the registry accessors. - rust's rules overrides move to data/templates/rust/rules.extra.tpl with {locked}/{artifact} hook context; python's backend table, meson/cmake's pkg-config opt-in, autotools' gettext and python's C-extension hints become hook amendments over the manifest baseline. - detect.rs drops its hardcoded marker cascade: the manifests' detect.files drive detection in registry order, with the shell single-script heuristic and the never-detected empty template kept as the code special cases they are. License sniffing is untouched. - The template tests port to manifest validation: registry coverage and stable order, placeholder presence in the rendering context, rules composition, the Build-Depends/architecture/dh-line table now asserted against the manifest data, and the hook shadowing merge. The static skeleton bodies of the shell/empty/makefile/go templates stay in their Rust hooks for now; the next commit moves them into their manifests.	2026-09-18 14:46:28 +02:00
