* Benjamin Drung bdr...@debian.org [2013-11-03 00:24]:


The modification on debian/copyright is okay. I have some comments:

1) I like to have one test file for each script which contains one or 
more tests. So the test file for uscan should be called test_uscan and 
contain a test function testFileExclusion using shunit.


2) The test in test_uscan should be converted to an offline test or 
test_uscan should be renamed to test_uscan_online.


3) The test could do more validity checks. It could compare the list of 
files in the tarball with the expected content.


Attached below is the patch implementing the above requests.  It renames 
test_uscan to test_uscan_online and includes the shunit2 test function 
testFileExclusion in test_uscan.  Two tests are included: first, it 
checks whether the online download of the tarball succeeded and, 
second, it checks whether the intended file was really excluded.


Here is the relevant part of the build log of the package:

   ./test_uscan
   testFileExclusion
   127.0.0.1 - - [03/Nov/2013 12:07:13] GET / HTTP/1.1 200 -
   127.0.0.1 - - [03/Nov/2013 12:07:13] GET /foo-1.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 200 -
   foo: Newer version (1) available on remote site:
 http://localhost:8000/foo-1.tar.gz
 (local version is 0)
   foo: Successfully downloaded updated package foo-1.tar.gz
   and removed files from it in foo_1+dfsg.orig.tar.gz

   Ran 1 test.

   OK

Subject: [PATCH] Add test for the file exclusion feature of uscan

This test is included into the test/test_uscan file and runs under the
shunit2 framework (testFileExclusion).  The file previously named
test/test_uscan is renamed as test/test_uscan_online.  The
test/Makefile has been changed accordingly.

* Benjamin Drung bdr...@debian.org [2013-11-02 00:05]:


I have just one recommendation/wish: It would be nice if test cases 
could be added for the new feature. The test cases should work offline.


Would something along the lines of the very simple-minded shell script 
attached below be appropriate?  Of course, it will need adaptation for 
the shunit2 framework used in devscripts.


What this script does is (1) create a minimal Debian package directory, 
containing minimal files debian/{changelog,watch,copyright}, (2) create a 
minimal repository, containing a tarball (built on the fly), and (3) 
start an HTTP server that works offline, using the SimpleHTTPServer 
module of Python.


When I run this with the modified uscan.pl, I obtain the following:

   foo/
   foo/exclude-this
   foo/include-this
   Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

Yes, that's exactly what I hoped for. We already have test/test_uscan,
which contains one online test. This could be converted to an offline

Maybe this short description could be added to the test case as comment

Ok, I did it and also changed test/Makefile accordingly. The patch is 
attached below.  Note that I also added an entry in debian/copyright, but 
that may be wrong.  There is no need to build-depend on libpython-stdlib 
(for the SimpleHTTPServer module), because python3-all pulls it in. This 
patch works here inside my pbuilder.

Subject: [PATCH] Enable uscan to selectively remove files from upstream
 arquives

[N.B.: This patch includes the original patch proposed by Andreas
Tille in Bug#685787 and further improvements by Gregor Herrmann and
Andreas himself, posted at:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685787

This is the follow up of a long discussion in the debian-devel mailing
list:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/08/msg00380.html]

The changes in this commit enable uscan to remove files from upstream
archives according to some information given in some control file.
The current implementation is based on using debian/copyright but is
easy to switch to another file.

The changes do the following:

 1. If (and only if) the debian/copyright file is

 Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

and if it contains a non-empty field Files-Excluded containing a
space separated list of globs (as used by find and for specifying
file lists in machine readable debian/control files). The deletion
process will loop over every expression and is using the find
command to delete the according globs.

 2. If files matching are contained in the source tarball this will
be repackaged except if the option --no-exclusion is given at
uscan command line or if USCAN_NO_EXCLUSION is set in
/etc/devscripts.conf or ~/.devscripts.  The removal is implemented
for all tar compression methods as well as for zip archives (which
are unpackaged using unzip).  This means if the conditions for
file exclusion as given above are fullfilled the patch below
works similar as --repack.

 3. If the tarball did not contained any of the globs in
debian/copyright::Files-Excluded it will be left untouched.

 4. In case something was removed the version string will be appended by
'+dfsg' to express the fact that the content of the original source
was changed.

 5. Sometimes upstream tarballs are dirty and unpack a load of files
into the current directory.  The patch tries to behave reasonable
and checks whether it could move those files into a dir named
  $pkg-$newversion
(in case no such file or directory just exists in such a dirty
tarball).  Also some non-dirty but quite generically named
directories (like source) are renamed to $pkg-$newversion.

The BEGIN block in uscal.pl has also been changed.  In the previous
version, it was used for requiring module LWP::UserAgent and, in case
of failure, inform the user that it sould install the libwww-perl
package.  This has been generalized throuhg a subroutine
require_module, which is called for both LWP::UserAgent and Try::Tiny.

The appropriate documentation has been added to uscan.1.  Appropriate
Build-Depends and Suggests on libtry-tiny-perl have been set in
debian/control.

OK.

   It will also be necessary to prepare a qpatched versions for uscan.1
   and debian/control.
  
  I'd happily provide this if I could be sure that this effort is not
  wasted in a way that uscan in devscripts simply moves on and I need
  to redo the patch later again.  Some signal of devscripts maintainer
  regarding this would be helpful.
 
 As stated before, we were originally waiting for the (longish) Wheezy
 freeze to finish and release.  Since that has happened, there has been a
 lack of time available from existing maintainers.
 
 Your work is not wasted, though, since we can integrate your changes
 regardless of whether they've been rebased on a recent version of uscan.
 It's just a matter of time to review and merge.
 
 I will work on this within the next month.

Cool.  Just let me know if I could be of any help.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining devscripts

  Andreas.

This really wouldn't have made much of a difference.  It's trivial to
add Andrea's repo as a remote and then the functionality is the same as
if the branch were in devscripts' repo.  At the time that Andreas
started work on this, devscripts wasn't in collab-maint so it made sense
to just push his changes to a user repo on Alioth so people could access
and review the changes.

  It will also be necessary to prepare a qpatched versions for uscan.1
  and debian/control.
 
 I'd happily provide this if I could be sure that this effort is not
 wasted in a way that uscan in devscripts simply moves on and I need
 to redo the patch later again.  Some signal of devscripts maintainer
 regarding this would be helpful.

As stated before, we were originally waiting for the (longish) Wheezy
freeze to finish and release.  Since that has happened, there has been a
lack of time available from existing maintainers.
