I've recently examining gbp (long-time svn-bp user). Unfortunately it has some
major flaws and limitations, which makes it very hard to use. I basically want
to do this (similar workflow in svn-bp):
[DEFAULT]
builder = debuild --no-lintian -d -sa -us -uc -S
[buildpackage]
postbuild = dput -f buildd /some/build-area/%(pkg)s_%(version)s_source.changes
This is because there is a local buildd, which will build the package itself.
Unfortunately, postbuild is run as a shell-script/hook and fails because of
the parenthesis. Now the command was inspired by the examples for postimport
but obviously is somehow different. Looking into the source I found this:
gbpc.Command(format_str(options.postimport, info), ...
vs.
Hook('Postbuild', options.postbuild, shell=True, ...
So I guess, postimport is first parsed, variables are replaced and then the
command is executed. Whereas postbuild is directly executed in a shell. I'd
like to request, that commands parsed from gbp.conf are _always_ first parsed
by gbp, so that variables can be replaced.
Please also note, that using the above, GBP_CHANGES_FILE will point to a
non-existing file. IMHO this situation should be improved too.
BTW: What I said above also goes for variables. I usually store the package
tarballs in /usr/local/src/packages/<PACKAGE>/. But when I tried this:
export-dir = /usr/local/src/packages/%(pkg)s/
tarball-dir = /usr/local/src/packages/%(pkg)s/
I ran into another build issue, because at some point you seem to give these
variables 1:1 to a shell script and this then fails too.
I would really like to use gbp without changing the whole system setup :)
Maybe you could improve the command/variable handling by making it consistent.
TIA and regards, Daniel
