Note that this does not replace package relationship fields like + `Depends`. + - (Debian uses `Section: oldlibs` for this, but ProteanOS uses `Section` to + separate packages into smaller indices that not all systems use, so we + shouldn't just dump all transitional packages into one big section. Also, + ProteanOS uses `Section` to determine whether to architecture-qualify + names of multiarch coinstallable packages.) + - Add `Deprecated` to `lib/package/2.sh` `_OB_BINARY_FIELDS_OPTIONAL_2`. + - Add an option to opkbuild to disable build dependency deprecation + failures. Maybe replace `-D`. Set an environment variable for + ob-checkbuilddeps. + - Run `opkg info` instead of `opkg status` in ob-checkbuilddeps + `check_dep()`. If a `Deprecated` field exists, call `ob_error()` with the + name of the replacement package (if any). If build dependency deprecation + failures are enabled, exit with an error status. + * Make binary package `Description` fields architecture- and platform- + independent (so a packages index Web site can show one description for a + binary package for all its architectures and platforms). + - Specify in SPF 2.0 #substvars-defined that `Host-Arch` and `Host-Plat` + substitution variables shall not be set for `Description` fields. + - `ob_set_source_substvar()` needs a third optional (for API compatibility) + `archplat_dep` parameter (default `false`) that, if `true`, causes + variable to be stored in a separate array. + - `ob_set_package_substvars()` needs a second optional (for API + compatibility) `archplat_indep` parameter (default `false`) that, if + `false`, enables checking for variables in the aforementioned separate + array. + - In `_ob_set_package_substvars_2()`, replace: + ob_set_source_substvar 'Host-Arch' "${OPK_HOST_ARCH}" + ob_set_source_substvar 'Host-Plat' "${OPK_HOST_PLAT}" + with: + ob_set_source_substvar 'Host-Arch' "${OPK_HOST_ARCH}" true + ob_set_source_substvar 'Host-Plat' "${OPK_HOST_PLAT}" true + - In ob-gencontrol, replace: + desc="$(ob_substvars "${desc}" "${pkg}")" + with: + desc="$(ob_substvars "${desc}" "${pkg}" true)" + - Add `${Host-Arch}` (which should be copied verbatim to output control + file) to `Description` in tests **BEFORE** above changes to verify correct + behavior. * Split distribution packaging from upstream sources in source packages. - Non-native package: * `src:foo` is the distribution packaging, and it depends on @@ -22,7 +65,7 @@ Functional Changes Copyright ========= -Copyright (C) 2018, 2019 Patrick McDermott +Copyright (C) 2018, 2019, 2023 Patrick McDermott Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright |
