Package: dh-virtualenv
Version: 1.2.2-3
Severity: normal
The dh_virtualenv debhelper buildsystem (dh $@ --buildsystem=dh_virtualenv)
only rewrites the "#!.../bin/python" shebangs when it copies the
virtualenv to its final location. Two kinds of files keep the build
directory:
1. bin/activate, bin/activate.csh, bin/activate.fish, bin/activate.nu
and bin/activate.xsh are never changed, so after installing the
package sourcing them sets VIRTUAL_ENV to the build directory, e.g.
/build/foo/build/usr/share/python/foo, and python from the
virtualenv is not found, in bash, fish and tcsh alike.
2. When the build path is longer than the shebang limit, pip writes the
console scripts with a /bin/sh trampoline instead of a shebang:
#!/bin/sh
'''exec' /very/long/build/path/usr/share/python/foo/bin/python "$0" "$@"
' '''
The exec line is not rewritten, so the installed scripts (the
package entry points, but also bin/pip) fail with:
exec: /very/long/build/path/.../bin/python: Permission denied
Steps to reproduce: build a package with
export DH_VIRTUALENV_INSTALL_SUFFIX = foo
%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=dh_virtualenv
install it and source /usr/share/python/foo/bin/activate. For the
second issue, build it from a directory whose path is longer than about
100 characters.

Changes:
dh-virtualenv (1.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Accept options passed by dh as -O--name=value: the lookup included
the value, so --python and other options with a value given to dh
were dropped and --builtin-venv failed with a TypeError.
Closes: #984767, #845712
* doc/dh_virtualenv.1.rst: update the quick guide for maintainers
(debhelper-compat 13, Python 3, no ${python:Depends}).
Closes: #856144
* Drop the lintian override for the pre-native changelog versions, no
longer needed now that the previous entry is native.
* Use python3 for --builtin-venv when --python is not given, instead
of failing with a TypeError. Closes: #1150721
* Replace the build path in all bin/activate* scripts instead of
matching the VIRTUAL_ENV assignments: recent venv and virtualenv
indent them, so bin/activate kept the build directory, and the csh
and fish patterns also overwrote VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT.
Closes: #1150720
* Buildsystem: replace the build path in all the scripts in bin/, not
only in the shebangs, so the activate scripts and the console scripts
that pip writes with a /bin/sh exec line for long build paths point
to the installed virtualenv. Closes: #1150722
* Drop the .env autoenv development script: it is a third-party copy
with no licence notice, wrongly covered by the Spotify AB stanza in
debian/copyright, and is not shipped in the binary packages. Document
building the documentation with Sphinx in README.md instead.
* Drop the Travis, tox and invoke development files, which target
Python 2.7-3.8 with nose. README.md: run the tests with pytest and
describe the current release steps.
* Dockerfile: install the build dependencies with apt-get build-dep
instead of an outdated hardcoded list that no longer installed.
* Stop removing dh_python2, dh_pycentral and dh_pysupport from the
sequence: no supported release has them. Fix the list of replaced
commands and the position of dh_virtualenv in the documentation.
* doc: drop the Python 2 era instructions and --no-site-packages from
the Python 3 recipe.
* Pass --setuptools=bundle to virtualenv for --setuptools: since
virtualenv 20 the option takes a version, so the build failed with
"the following arguments are required: dest". Closes: #1150894
* prerm: remove every __pycache__ directory of the virtualenv, not only
the top-level one, so the bytecode Python writes at runtime does not
stay behind after removal and purge. Closes: #1150896
* Publish the documentation on Salsa Pages with a pages job in
debian/salsa-ci.yml, and link it from README.md and the man page
instead of the Read the Docs project, still stuck at 1.2.2.
* doc/changes.rst: add the Debian releases from debian/changelog, with
their distribution (unstable or UNRELEASED) and date, and point to
the history on Salsa.
* doc: credit the Debian Python Team as maintainer and follow the
Debian Code of Conduct.
* Buildsystem: report projects with only a pyproject.toml as buildable
too (they were already installed with pip). doc: the project needs a
pyproject.toml or a setup.py, and is installed with "pip install .".
* d/control: Build-Depend on python3-hatchling (>= 1.26), needed for the
PEP 639 license fields in pyproject.toml (bookworm-backports has it).
* test: expect the DeprecationWarning of --pypi-url, --no-test and
--setuptools-test in the tests that use them.
