debputy (0.1.27) unstable; urgency=medium
* LSP/Lint:
- Disable automatic syntax check of makefiles (`debian/rules`)
by default. The `make` man page strongly implies that it "may"
run code, which will be unhelpful to anyone using `debputy lint`
to review packages.
- The `debputy.manfiest` diagnostics now flag conflicting
attributes in the manifest. Previously, these were only flagged
by `debputy check-manifest` or during build. (Closes: #85)
- When there is a typo of a keyword in `debputy.manifest` with one
obvious solution, the linting will continue linting based on
the corrected key rather than the original key.
- Improve the `debputy.manifest` diagnostics to cover deeper into
the manifest. Among other, it now offers some validation of
`ManifestCondition` (`when:`).
[ Niels Thyker ]
* Add `python3-levenshtein` to Suggests.
[ David Kalnischkies ]
* Fix a number of typos and other spelling related issues.
* Reformat files to remove trailing whitespace
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Sat, 06 Apr 2024 12:23:44 +0200
debputy (0.1.26) unstable; urgency=medium
* LSP/lint:
- Make debputy.manifest completer better at accounting for conflicting
keywords such as `as` vs. `sources` in `install`.
- The debputy.manifest completer now provides completions in more cases.
- Add basic support `debian/tests/control`. Note that `elpa-dpkg-dev-el`
does not support it yet in unstable (in git, expected to be 37.22) and
`vim` does not seem to have support for it.
* migrate-from-dh:
- Provide migration advice for known hook targets. Additionally, hook
targets with migration advice no longer triggers an unsupported
feature error (only a manual migration warning).
(Closes: debputy#78)
* lint: Fix crash bug when auto-fixing something at the start of a file
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Thu, 04 Apr 2024 12:36:11 +0200
debputy (0.1.25) unstable; urgency=medium
* LSP/lint:
- Provide initial hover docs for `d/debputy.manifest`.
- Provide initial completion support for `d/debputy.manifest`.
- Provide more diagnostics for `d/debputy.manifest`. Note that
`debputy check-manifest` still covers a lot more, but it usually
only reports one issue at the time and does not work with the LSP.
- When the editor does not provide a language id for the files,
`debputy` now attempts to guess the language from the filename.
This makes the language server work with most editors that do
not know about the file format (such as `debian/debputy.manifest`).
[ Niels Thykier ]
* d/copyright: Dual license linter and LSP, since that makes it easier
to share code with `debpkg-metadata`.
* debputy: Add YAML mode (debputy.manifest) to emacs LSP editor config
example.
* LSP/lint: Fix crash bug with some errors in debputy.manifest
* Migrate to `python3-ruyaml` as default. It has fewer arch:any
dependencies, which in turn should make arch bootstrapping easier.
(Closes: debputy#84)
* debputy: Make `debputy lsp editor-config` list known config names.
Thanks to David Kalnischkies <david@kalnischkies.de> (Closes: debputy#82)
* LSP: Fallback to filename based detection if no language id is provided
[ Otto Kekäläinen ]
* Add Lintian overrides
* Add Salsa-CI to both build packages, and to run `debputy lint` on itself
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Thu, 04 Apr 2024 07:18:03 +0200
debputy (0.1.24) unstable; urgency=medium
* Manifest:
- Add new keyword `services` under `packages.foo`, where the
packager can specify whether a given service or (systemd) unit
should be enabled/started on installation and how upgrades
should be managed. With this, more packages using
`dh_installsystemd` and `dh_installinit` can hopefully now use
`debputy`. Note user services is mentioned in the manifest
feature, but `debputy` does not actually detect any user
services.
* Plugin API:
- Detect duplicate service registrations and error out when
detected. The API is private, so it will not affect any
plugins outside `debputy`.
* debputy: Service maintscript snippets are now run in "service" order
* autopkgtests: Run `debputy lint` with the linter exit code
* debputy: Fix crash on re-encoding compressed man pages.
Thanks to Andrey Rakhmatullin <wrar@debian.org> (Closes: #1068102)
* debputy: Fix bug in -dbgsym generation that triggered lintian warnings.
Thanks to Chris Hofstaedtler <zeha@debian.org> (Closes: debputy#80)
* debputy: Fix crash bug on showing a pluggable-manifest-rule with
certain mutual exclusive attributes
* debputy: Fix `plugin show p-m-r` to show mutual exclusive optional attributes
* debputy: Avoid using `try-restart` as `deb-systemd-invoke` does not
support it. Replace it with regular `restart`.
* The getting started guide now features a section on migrating
`dh_installsystemd` and `dh_installinit` overrides.

debputy (0.1.23) unstable; urgency=medium
* Breaking: Migration mode to `dh-sequence-zz-debputy-rrr`
should have included `dh_shlibdeps`, but did not due to a
mistake. This broke automatic substvar support and has been
retroactively fixed. Likewise, `debputy migrate-from-dh` has
been updated to detect hook targets for `dh_shlibdeps`.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:41:42 +0100
debputy (0.1.22.3) unstable; urgency=medium
* debputy: Fix typo of `type-mapping` suggestion in output
* debputy lint: Fix bug where errors on the first or last line
* lint/LSP: Provide a few "generic" field level validations. As
an example, the values of the `Package` and `Source` fields are
now checked against the standard regex for the validating
package names.
* debputy: Enable `lint` to run with invalid `debian/control` file.
As example, if a package stanza is missing the `Architecture`
field or is syntactically invalid, then the linter will now still
run and report this linting errors (rather than `debputy` hard
stopping on the first issue).
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Thu, 28 Mar 2024 11:37:22 +0100
debputy (0.1.22.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Restore registration of `conffiles` in `dh-sequence-debputy`
integration. Thanks to Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>
for reporting the bug. (Closes: #1067860)
* LSP: Add `XB-Installer-Menu-Item` as a known field

debputy (0.1.22.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Sven Joachim ]
* debputy: fix update-alternatives call in generated prerm script

* lint: Fix crash bug when running the linter
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Thu, 28 Mar 2024 07:52:57 +0100
debputy (0.1.22) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* migrate-from-dh:
- Fix bug where some dh config lines were migrated wrong
* LSP/Lint:
- Provide better "guards" for `debian/rules` and `debputy.manifest`.
Since the LSP is accepting generic languages here for compatibility,
it should not apply to all instances of those generic languages.
- Add basic semantic token and folding range support for comments
in deb822 based files.
- Detect and leverage trivial cases of `dh ... --with addon` for
better precision.
- Fix the quick fix handler in LSP mode. It was disabled by mistake
due to some refactoring.
- Add some basic checks of the changelog sign off dates.
* CLI Breaking change: Rename `plugable` to `pluggable` in API
and command line interface. The relevant API is currently
"private-only", which is why this is not listed under a
"Plugin API" heading.
* LSP editor-config: Correct snippet for `vim+ycm`
* LSP editor-config emacs: Recommend elpa-markdown-mode
* Fix warning about -dbgsym packages for automatic M-A: same
* d/control: Add 3.11 version bound on python for now
* Improve migration from `dh` related documentation.
* Fix bug where `dpkg-gencontrol` could error out on dbgsym packages.
Fundamentally the same as debhelper's #1067711.
[ Otto Kekäläinen ]
* Apply 'wrap-and-sort -abkt'
* Fix misc spelling errors
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Wed, 27 Mar 2024 07:42:58 +0100
debputy (0.1.21) unstable; urgency=medium
* Plugin API:
- VirtualPath API: The `lookup` method now resolves symlinks if
necessary
- VirtualPath API: Provide `interpreter` method to resolve the
interpreter of a file (based on the `#!`-line).
* migrate-from-dh:
- Support different integration levels using the new --migration-target
option with defaults derived from existing packaging where possible.
* debputy: Code better with faulty optional plugins (Closes: debputy#73)
* README.md: Document communication channels
* debputy: Accept usr/lib/MA/Package as private python dir
* debputy: Provide `plugin {list,show} type-mappings` subcommand
* debputy: Preserve name of mapped type in most cases for plugin show p-m-r
* d/changelog: Typo fixes and re-align some entries that were "too long".
* Preserve mtime from ref_path where possible
* Fix bug where `binary-version` from the manifest was not used
* Add minimal `R³ dh` integration mode for `util-linux` and other packages
that want to migrate away from `fakeroot`. Use
`debputy migrate-from-dh --migration-target dh-sequence-zz-debputy-rrr`
to get migration aid for this integration mode.
* debputy: Make `mtime` resolution more robust (Closes: debputy#75)
* Auto-correct common interpreters
* Update handling of `t64:Provides` to match debhelper
* debputy: Fix crash bug when packages did not use debhelper
* debputy: Avoid passing the substvars file to dh_gencontrol for -dbgsym
packages
* debputy: Automatically apply relationship substvars. See
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/03/msg00030.html for
details.
* debputy: Use `shlibs:Pre-Depends` by default for essential packages
* Implement initial Language Server based on `pygls` and linter. With this
comes the following new subcommands:
- `debputy lsp server` starts the language server to support editors
with Debian packaging files.
- `debputy lsp editor-config NAME` provides config snippets for
known editors.
- `debputy lsp features` provides a human readable list of features
and language IDs currently supported. Mostly useful for people
trying to determine what to put in their editor config where
`debputy lsp editor-config` cannot help them.
- `debputy lint` provides a "batch" (non-interactive) version of
the diagnostics that `debputy lsp server` provides for the case
where you want these without an editor as intermediate (or
where you editor does not support LSP).
Most of these features will require optional dependencies. Check the
Recommends and Suggests for packages that may be relevant for you.
The `debputy` man page has a section on how `debputy lint` relates
to other tools such as `debputy lsp` and `lintian`.
* Vendor a copy of the `python-debian` RTS parser until the relevant
features are merged into `python-debian`.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Sun, 24 Mar 2024 11:29:19 +0100
debputy (0.1.20) unstable; urgency=medium
* Plugin API:
- Support cross package content checks in metadata detectors.
The feature prevents the metadata detector from "unsafe"
access to other packages. As an example, arch:any packages
can never see the content for arch:all packages (since
they are not always built together).
* migrate-from-dh:
- Add migration support for the `sodeps` sequence along with its
related `so:Depends` substvar.
* debputy: Support the `X-Time64-Compat` field as used by `debhelper`
* debputy: Tweak wording of automatic-discard-rules examples in
the output of `debputy plugin show a-d-r ...`.
* debputy: Accessibility related changes:
- Add CSV output for *human* consumption on many of the plugin
list commands. This enables easier consumption for screen
readers when the user wants structured data. Note the CSV
is *not* guaranteed to remain stable for scripting purposes.
- Do not describe the table for screen readers. Instead,
generate the ASCII table again but without the divider
lines, which would just be line noise.
- Revert on URL rewriting of man pages for screen readers. For now
also disable creating urls when the link text is not equal to
the url as it is not clear how the screen reader reacts to the
hyperlinks.
* debputy: Fix automatic pager feature not working as intended.
This was a regression in the previous release.
* debputy.pod: Improve `debputy` man page. Among other,
document more subcommands. Example, `migrate-from-dh` was
not documented previously.
* debputy: Provide a better error message for
`--plugin ./fake/debputy.json`. It never worked and now you
just get a better error message than `debputy` saying that
`debputy` was already loaded.
* debputy: Support bug#950723 style pkgfiles when `dh_assistant`
announces it for `annotate-debian-directory`.
* debputy: Fallbackless only applies to files without an explicit
package. Unclear whether it could be abused or cause issues.
* debputy: Make ASCII list headers bold face for terminal output.
* debputy: Generate `libfooX (= ${binary:Version})` `misc:Depends`
via libfoo.so symlink. This largely replaces `dh_sodeps.
* d/changelog: Fix typo in a previous entry.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Wed, 31 Jan 2024 21:14:21 +0100
debputy (0.1.19) unstable; urgency=medium
* Plugin API:
- Breaking change (JSON-only): Group reference documentation
attributes for packager provided files under the new
`reference-documentation` attribute.
* debputy: Fix double inverted boolean
* debputy: Improve the command output in multiple ways
- When users set `OPTIMIZE_FOR_SCREEN_READER=1`, `debputy` now
prints less visualization. Notably, ASCII formatting such as
underlying is removed. Some commands now also uses a more
textual description rather than a visual output. As the
poster example, compare `debputy plugin show a-d-r la-files`
with and without this option.
- Documentation URLs are now rendered as clickable links for
terminal emulators that support the relevant ANSI escape
sequence. When optimizing output for screen readers,
`man:name(section)` URIs are unconditionally written to
their `https://manpages.debian.org/name.section` as man pages
are generally not working very well with screen readers
unlike HTML based documentation.
- With `python3-colors`, output now uses a bit more
formatting such as boldface text when outputting to a
terminal.
* debputy: Fix crash when doing `annotate-debian-directory` on a
`debputy`-based package
* d/changelog: Document plugin API change in 0.1.18
* Move `lua` plugin into a separate folder to avoid failing in
autopkgtests.
* d/tests/debputy-cli: Fix invalid usage of a subcommand that
failed the test.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Sun, 28 Jan 2024 16:12:42 +0100
debputy (0.1.18) unstable; urgency=medium
* Plugin API:
- Packager Provided Files can now reference documentation
in the form of a generic description and URIs documenting
the file format.
* Plugins:
- Add `perl-openssl` plugin to mirror `dh-perl-openssl`.
* debputy: Refactor to make root level partly introspectable
* migrate-from-dh: Avoid asking users to remove Build-Depends
on dh sequences that are replaced. This is because they often
also provide relevant dependencies that the `debputy` plugin
dependency cannot provide (as long as the plugin is provided
by `dh-debputy`).
* Added partial migration of the `dh-lua` sequence. It is not
installed because the `lua` debhelper build system uses
build-time `d/pkg.install` files, which are not supported
by `debputy`. Omitted the migration code for `lua` as it
would just lead to false-hopes and broken hearts!
* debputy: Provide a `show` for packager provided files
* debputy: Provide a `used-packager-provided-files` list topic
* debputy: Add new `tool-support` command with the following
subcommands:
- annotate-debian-directory: Will scan the `debian` directory
for known packager files and annotate with hints and
documentation URIs. Data partly sourced from plugins and
from `dh_assistant`. Output is always JSON.
- export-reference-data: Provides access to reference data
used in other commands. Outputs text by default, but
supports `--output-format=json` for json exports.
- supports-tool-command: Test whether a particular
`tool-support` command is supported (without having to
parse `--help` output).
* debputy: Avoid printing `Loading plugin` in all sub commands
* Support nested `TypedDict`s in the declarative parsers
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Sat, 27 Jan 2024 20:54:33 +0100
debputy (0.1.17) unstable; urgency=medium
* Plugin API:
- VirtualPath: Introduce `size` attribute to simplify some code
* debputy: Auto-detect and provide maintscripts for pam-config files.
Specifically, add the `pam-auth-update` call to relevant
maintscripts.
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Clarify conflict resolution description
* debputy: Tweak the wording of the reference documentation placeholder
for when a plugin does not provide any (online) documentation.
* debputy: Refactored some internals to add a (non-public) plugin
infrastructure for adding parsing hooks to `packages.<PKG>`.
As a side-effect:
- `debputy plugin list/show p-m-r` can now access and describe these
hooks.
- The `show` output for these rules that reference certain other
rules now report them by their type name. As an example,
`when` is now described as a `ManifestCondition` rather than
`string or mapping`. This provides better traceability between
the rules.
* debputy: Fix bug in generated scripts for `clean-after-removal`
where a start quote (`"`) was missing.
* debputy: Fix bug where Installed-Size was wrong for -dbgsym packages
(it incorrectly excluded the size for anything in the data.tar).
* debputy: Fix online description for `not`, which was a copy-waste
from another rule.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Sat, 20 Jan 2024 11:18:45 +0100
debputy (0.1.16) unstable; urgency=medium
* migrate-from-dh:
- Remove `d/tmp` from sources in d/install files. Having
`d/tmp` in the paths would not work the same without an
explicit `as` or `dest-dir`.
* debputy: Fix crash when showing certain plugable-manifest-rules
* d/changelog: Avoid using `install-{,-doc}-as` like it is an install
rule. It was used as a short-hand for `install` (or `install-doc`)
with the `as` attribute but implied you could write `install-as`
in the manifest.
* docs: Correct the description of `required-when` for `discard`
* debputy: Fix source date epoch for strip-nondeterminism with
binNMU builds.
* Test API: Provide features to validate/test manifest variables
* d/tests/debputy-cli: Add tests for recent broken doc
* test: Add negative test for automatic discard rule example checks
* d/control: Add dependency on `man-db` needed to run `man-recode`.
Previously, we relied on the `debhelper` to pull this dependency.
* THANKS.md: Acknowledge Paul Gevers for his early adoption and
testing.
* debputy: Incomplete support for `dh_installdebconf`. Any debconf
templates (such as `debian/templates`) will now be processed and
lead to a `DEBIAN/templates` file in the resulting deb and the
`postrm` will run `db_purge` on `purge`. However, it is not possible
to provide a `DEBIAN/config` or custom `postinst` snippets leveraging
the debconf templates. Accordingly, the migration tool still flags
`templates` files as unsupported for now.
* debputy.pod: Provide man page for `debputy` itself.

* debputy: Fix a bug where `systemctl daemon-reload` would always
be added to postrm.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Fri, 29 Dec 2023 17:30:54 +0100
debputy (0.1.14) unstable; urgency=medium
* manifest:
- Breaking change: The `discard` rule must now match at least one
path by default when it applies to at least one existing
search directory.
- Breaking change: Renamed `when` to `required-when` for `discard`
rules. The name better reflects that the `discard` rule is
always applied. The conditional decides whether it is an error
for a path to match nothing
- Support `**/non-glob` as a basename match. This form must use
the leading `**/` part to be a basename match. Without the leading
`**/`, the pattern would be interpreted as an exact path match
for a top-level file/directory.
* migrate-from-dh:
- List `dh_install` as replaced which ensures `debputy` will
detect overrides/hook targets for `dh_install`.
* debputy: Align md5sums order with `dh_md5sums` to reduce the diffs
between a `debhelper` and a `debputy` produced `.deb`.
* debputy: Support processing files with `strip-nondeterminism` to
reduce the amount of non-deterministic content in a package.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Thu, 28 Dec 2023 17:39:07 +0100
debputy (0.1.13) unstable; urgency=medium
* Manifest:
- Support per-package installation search directories via the new
`installation-search-dirs` attribute (under `packages.*`) .
- The `discard` install rule now accepts a `search-dir`/`search-dirs`
attribute, which can be used to restrict which search directories
the discarding applies too.
- Added new `multi-dest-install` rule for the rare case where a
package needs to install the same source *twice*. This was needed
for `kafs-client`. (Closes: debputy#66)
- Any `udeb` packages are ignored when install-doc (etc.) evaluates
default for `into`. This means if a source package only builds a
single `deb` plus one or more `udeb`s, then `into` is now optional
for all documentation related `install-X` rules.
* migrate-from-dh:
- Support migrating multi-dest sources in d/install.
* Plugin API:
- VirtualPath API: Use of `path.replace_fs_path_content` no longer
detaches the path
* debputy: Fix `FileNotFoundError` when building `udeb` packages
* debputy: Fix bug where install rules with multiple `into` did not
always work correctly
* debputy: Fix online documentation for `into` in most install rules
* debputy: Fix bug where `shlibs` where not generated when it should
have been. This was a regression introduced in 0.1.10.
* debputy: Let dpkg-shlibdeps see SONAMEs from other packages. This
was necessary for `kafs-client`. (Closes: debputy#66)
* debputy: Fix bug where plugin provided triggers were silently
discarded.

debputy (0.1.12) unstable; urgency=medium
* Plugin API:
- Test API: Breaking change. Make metadata related tests stateless
- `VirtualPath` API: Add an `is_executable` property
* migrate-from-dh:
- Assume minimum compat of 12 for all packages now to match the
`dh_installinit` mechanics that `debputy` now perform when an
`init` script is present.
* d/control: Use `Debian-based` in the description to appease lintian
* d/control: Canonicalize the URL in the Vcs-Browser field
* d/control: Use `debputy@packages.debian.org` as maintainer address
* debputy: Tweak wording for several error messages
* Add initial support for service management. It covers the default
flow of `dh_installinit` and `dh_installsystemd`. Notably, the
`dh_installsystemduser` is *not* covered.
* Fix bug in `install-man` rule that made it unusable
* Internal refactoring (notably of the installation rules code).
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Sun, 17 Dec 2023 18:08:13 +0000
debputy (0.1.11) unstable; urgency=medium
* Manifest:
- Breaking change: Correct spelling of `build-profiles-matches`
so it now matches the documentation.
- The `install-docs` rule now supports `dest-dir` and `as`. Its
default `dest-dir` remains the same.
- Provide `path:GNU_INFO_DIR` manifest variable that represents
the directory where GNU info files should be installed into.
* Plugin API:
- VirtualPath now supports `open` with buffering.
- When declaring manifest snippets, automatically pick up
`FileSystemMatchRule` (and subclasses) up as `path hints` (used
to provide context for error messages)
* migrate-from-dh:
- Improve some error messages to provide the actual file path
instead on an internal object name/id.
- Fix detection of `dh-exec` conditionals that could cause the
conditions to be interpreted as literal values rather than
conditionals.
- Support `dh-exec` conditionals in `d/install`.
- Provide more support for dh-exec features in d/manpages. Notably,
`SOURCE => DEST` is now rewritten into an `install-doc` (with `as`)
rule and conditionals are now supported.
- Multiple conditions in `d/links` files are now supported
and will be translated into an `all-of`.
- Avoid single-item `sources` for migrated bash-completions.
(Style-only change)
- Create a placeholder variable for unknown manifest variables.
Previously, it would result in a hard error as the resulting
manifest could not be parsed. (Closes: debian/debputy#65)
- Support migrating `d/info` files
* debputy: Convert transformation and install rules to using
`FileSystemMatchRule`s for paths. This unifies parsing of globs for
all rules except `clean-after-removal` (which still uses shell glob
semantics).
* online doc for path-metadata: Fix copy-paste mistake
* Fix crash bug where `d/tmp` is not a directory but an install rule is
used (unclear if this was reproducible in older versions).
* debputy: Fix internal error by `debputy` setting wrong "CoW"-flag on
some paths
* d/changelog: Clarify wording of a previous entry and fix a few typos.
* debputy: Correct two error messages that should have shown valid attribute
names when incorrect values were provided.
* debputy: Fix bug in parsing of `all-of` and `any-of` manifest conditions
that made it impossible to use these manifest conditions.
* tests: Provide initial tests of basic install rules. Required some
refactoring related to the virtual file system to support these
tests.

debputy (0.1.10) unstable; urgency=medium
* Manifest changes:
- Support `clean-after-removal` feature, where you can ask
`debputy` to remove files when the package has been removed
or is being purged. This feature is similar in spirit to
`rpm`'s `%ghost` files. (Closes: debputy#35)
* plugin API: Fix bug where `path.chmod("symbolic-mode")` would
raise an exception
* debputy: Defer error'ing out when dpkg-gensymbols returns with a non-zero
exit code until all packages have been processed
* debputy: Optimize materialization to require less copying via
the following features:
- Properly implement lazy copy-on-write actions to avoid
copying a file into the scratch directory only to copy it
to the materialization directory later. Now, the case
only performs one copy (directly from the source to the
materialization directory).
- When a file has already been copied into the scratch
directory because `debputy` needed to mutate the file,
use a `mv` rather than a `cp` to move the file to its
final destination.

debputy (0.1.9.3) unstable; urgency=medium
* migrate-from-dh:
- Support full migration of `dh-sequence-numpy3`. Though, there
is still no `dh-sequence-python3` migration support, which
may make this less useful at the moment.
* tests: Fix bug where `debputy` provided plugins fails in
installed mode causing `debputy` autopkgtests to fail.
* tests: Improve test coverage for gnome plugin.

debputy (0.1.9) unstable; urgency=medium
* Plugin changes:
- Breaking change: The features of the `bash-completion`
plugin has been embedded into the `debputy` plugin. The
`bash-completion` plugin has been removed without a
backwards compatibility feature.
- Breaking change (test-api): The `virtual_path` function
got renamed to `virtual_path_def` and got promoted to
the non-test API.
- Add more features to the `VirtualPath` API. Notably some
mutations are now supported when the file system is in
read-write mode.
- InstallRule's no longer accept an explicit search dir.
Search dir handling is now done differently and plugins
are not involved in that process.
* migrate-from-dh:
- Support full migration of `dh-sequence-bash-completion`.
- Support partial migration of `dh-sequence-gnome`. The
`dh_gnome` side will be migrated, but `dh_gnome_clean`
will still be done via the `dh-sequence-gnome`.
- List which `dh-sequence-X` Build-Dependencies should be
removed. These are listed as manual migrations.
- Migration now detects *simple* cases of `dh` addons
loaded via `--with` in `debian/rules`.
* Let `debputy` handle loading of additional variables
* d/changelog: Reformat line in the 0.1.8 entry
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Correct name of two example manifest variables
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Improve documentation related to manifest variables
* Add private plugin api for package processors and migrate some
`debputy` code to use this feature.
* debputy: Provide a `clean .la files` feature by default based on a
similar feature from `dh_gnome`.
* debputy: Filter out doxygen related cruft (replacing `dh_doxygen`)
* Make discard rules a plugin provided feature (currently private)
and provide (validated) examples for automatic discard rules.
These can be seen via the example command:
`debputy plugin list a-d-r doxygen-cruft-files`
* debputy: Show which paths have been matched by an automatic discard
rule in the build out along with how to override them.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 15:20:44 +0100
debputy (0.1.8) unstable; urgency=medium
* Manifest changes:
- Breaking change: Rename some manifest variables like `{{TAB}}`
`{{token:TAB}}`. This change only affects manifest variables
intended to provide textual tokens that might be hard to write
literally or to avoid triggering substitution of another manifest
variable.
- Split `arch-matches` condition into three. The `arch-matches`
is still preferred. The other two variants are for special-cases
related to cross-building. As a side-effect of this change,
`arch-matches` can now be used in source context.
- Support manifest declared variables. A new `definitions.variables`
key is defined where variables can be declared. See
MANIFEST-FORMAT.md for the details. (Closes: debputy#58)
- It is now possible to use substitution variables in package names
in the manifest. This enables the use of `libfoo{{SONAME}}` instead
of hard-coding the value.
* Plugin changes:
- Breaking change: Remove the previously required plugin-version
attribute.
- Streamline installation process for "simple" `debputy` plugins by
providing a debhelper tool and by having `debputy` take
responsibility for the Python byte-compilation requirement for
`debputy` plugins. Additionally, support for running plugin tests
have been added too (both as build-time and as installed tests).
- Breaking (test-only) change: The test API for loading plugins have
been renamed and should no longer be passed a JSON descriptor file.
Instead, the test framework will attempt to find the JSON descriptor
file on its own. With this method, the test does not have to
distinguish between install-time and build-time test runs.
- A metadata detector can now request the binary package version
of a package via the context parameter.
- Plugins can now provide literal manifest variables like `path:FOO_DIR`.
* debputy: Provide online documentation for most manifest rules
* debputy: Correct detection of required/conditional fields in
`plugin show pmr`
* debputy: Provide "on-line" documentation of manifest conditions
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Correct some anchors that would cause broken links
in HTML rendered versions of the file.
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Clarify `replacement-rule` for `create-symlink` only
applies if the declared symlink path exists. If it does not exist and
cannot be because it would require a non-directory to become a directory,
then `replace-rule` cannot be used.
* plugin changes: Make single-file Python module easier to provide
* debputy: Add `--plugin` parameter to load plugins for most commands.
* debputy: Fix bug where some common args were ignored depending on argument
order.
* dh_installdebputy: New helper to install `debputy` plugins from
debhelper packages.
* d/control: Have `dh-debputy` provide `dh-sequence-installdebputy`.
* dh-sequence-debputy: Restore `dh_installdir` command. This enables packages
to still use the `dh_installdir` helper to work around upstreams that does
assumes install directories exist (such as `DEST_DIR`).
* debputy: Support d/alternatives files like `dh_installalternatives`.
* Provide basic plugin to support d/bash-completion files. The feature is
deliberately written as a stand-alone plugin, so it is easier to migrate
to the `bash-completion` package later if that is relevant.
* GETTING-STARTED-WITH-dh-debputy.md: List `dh_installalternatives` as a
replaced command. It has been replaced for quite a while and the omission
in the docs was unintentional.
* Provide basic bash-completion plugin and provide migrations for the
users of `dh-sequence-bash-completion`.
* d/tests/control: Add explicit test dependency on python3-all
(Closes: #1056240)
* debputy: Provide a `plugin list manifest-variables` subcommand that will
list known variables. Default special-case and token manifest variables
are hidden and have to be requested explicitly.
* debputy: Provide a `plugin show manifest-variables VAR` subcommand that
will show information about a given manifest variable.
* Breaking change: Plugins can now provide manifest variables
* d/changelog: Bump snapshot version

dirs by default. The previous behaviour can be restored with
an explicit `keep-empty-parent-dirs: true`.
* d/tests/debputy-py.test: Fix bugs in autopkgtest
* debputy: Provide new `plugable-manifest-rules` topic for `plugin list`.
This subcommand enables the user to get a list of all rules available
under `installations` or `packages.{{PACKAGE}}.transformations`, etc.
(Note: it was renamed to `pluggable-manifest-rules` in 0.1.22)
* debputy: Provide a `plugin show plugable-manifest-rules` command that
can provide some details about each rule (such as `install`).
(Note: it was renamed to `pluggable-manifest-rules` in 0.1.22)
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Clarify some of the "shell"-like examples.
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Clarify that "install" (with `as`) behaves like
`foo => bar`. Previously, the documentation said `=>` which could also
cover the `=> bar` feature from `dh-exec`. However, that feature is
handled by the `installations` itself rather than "install" (with
`as`).

* debputy: Fix crash on octal mode being specified as an int.
Thanks to Paul Gevers <elbrus@debian.org> (Closes: debputy#54)
* debputy: Ensure dh-integration based scratch (temp) dir is used when called

debputy (0.1.7.6) unstable; urgency=medium
* Manifest changes:
- Implement substitution in symlink target. Thanks to Paul Gevers
for reporting the issue. (Closes: debputy#56)
- Add `replacement-rule` parameter to `create-symlink`. With the
`replacement-rule` parameter, you can control how `debputy`
should react to the `path` of a symlink clashing with an
existing file system object. The default behavior remains
unchanged.
* migrate-from-dh:
- Merge more `debian/install` rules. Most install rules from
`dh_install` will now be grouped by `dest-dir`. There are a few
special-cases, where merging is not applied (`=> usr/bin/foo`)
and probably will not be.

debputy (0.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Upload to unstable.
* Manifest changes:
- Breaking change: `path-metadata` rules never match symlinks.
Previously, you could match symlinks when ownership information
was changed. However, there is no known case in Debian where this
feature would be useful. To keep the logic and documentation simple,
symlinks are now no longer matched.
* Plugin API changes:
- Breaking change: Rewrite the API declaring packager provided files to
use a full path format rather than dir + basename.
- Breaking change: The directory `/usr/share/debputy/debputy/plugins` is
now the official plugin directory. Previously, it was not explicitly
defined (but ended up being `/usr/share/dh-debputy/plugins`).
- It is now possible declare packager provided files in the plugin json
file (that is, without needing any python code at all).
* Changes related to `migrate-from-dh`:
- Remove the `systemd` dh addon from the list of supported add-on. The
addon implies compat 10 and `debputy` assumes compat 11 at least.
Users are better off migrating to compat 11 and then to `debputy`.
- When generating an updated manifest, the migration will now verify
that the generated manifest can be parsed. If not, `debputy` will
raise an internal error promoting the user to file a bug.
* Parse plugin json via the declarative parser
* debputy: Avoid stacktrace if run outside package root
* debputy: Support running some subcommands outside of source roots
* IMPLEMENTATION-DECISIONS.md: Document some decisions behind plugin integration
* debputy: Package builds and `check-manifest` now only loads explicitly
requested plugins to ensure deterministic behaviour. Other commands (notably
the `plugin`) still loads all plugins that `debputy` can find. Plugins are
"explicitly requested" when the package has a `Build-Depends` on
`debputy-plugin-X` where `X` is the name of the plugin.
* MIGRATING-A-DH-PLUGIN.md: Advice against providing Python-based plugins for
now as the logistics are not fully prepared.
* debputy: Pipe to pager for some subcommands (such as
`debputy plugin list ppf`), if `DEBPUTY_PAGER` or `PAGER` is set, or if `less`
is available in `PATH`. The `LESS` variable is set to `-FRSXMQ` if not set.
* debputy: Show where the plugin is installed when listing plugins
(`debputy plugin list`)
* debputy: Provide more details in `debputy plugin list ppf`
* debputy: Restore ability to build packages with non-root static ownership.
There was a regression in a recent release that made `debputy` not realize
it would need to account for `(fake)root`.
* debputy: Provide better error message when plugin JSON is invalid.
Previously, you would just get a stack trace.
* Support sub-second mtime in the intermediate manifest
* debputy: Preserve `mtime` for compressed files like `gzip` does.
* debputy: Reduce the number of `stat`s when performing installations.
* debputy: Align changelog trimming closer with `debhelper` to minimize any
diffs between a `debhelper` produced deb and a `debputy` produced deb.
* debputy: Fix a cache retention issue that caused `Installed-Size` to be
wrong some cases.

debputy (0.1.6) experimental; urgency=medium
* Manifest changes:
- Breaking change: Replace `exclude` with `discard` and remove inline
`exclude` rule
- Breaking change: Rename `exclude` (transformation) to `remove`
- Breaking change: Symlink creation is now a transformation rule
- Breaking change: Empty directory creation is now a transformation rule
- Permit str/list forms of current install rules
- Support `install-man` rule similar to `dh_installman`. Note that
`install-man` does *not* automatically fallback to guessing the
language from the basename like `dh_installman`. The feature is
supported but requires explicit opt-in.
* Changes related to `migrate-from-dh`:
- Fix invalid error message on `${env:FOO}` variables
- The migration tool is now more clear on "unsupported" vs. "supported but
there is no automatic migration feature". The former will require an
explicit "I know and I am ignoring it" parameter, whereas the latter
gets a "manual migration" warning.
- Automatic migration from `d/manpages` to the new `install-man` rule. Be
sure to double-check the `language` attribute (of lack thereof). You may
need to add `language: derive-from-basename` in some cases.
- Automatic migration to translate `debian/not-installed` into `discard`
rules.
- The migration tool now detects unsupported dh sequence add-ons used.
- The migration tool now detects missing `dh-sequence-debputy` (or the `-zz-`
variant) in the Builds-Depends and provides you with a warning.
* Plugin API changes:
- `VirtualPath` now has a new `open` method.
* d/changelog: Correct a `Closes` to specific it was a gitlab issue
* IMPLEMENTATION-DECISIONS.md: New file that document some implementation
decisions in a new document.
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Tweak some wording and remove an invalid exclude example
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Clarify that conditions may partially evaluate rules
* Parse transformation rules via declarative parsers. Same behaviour, just
with better error messages.
* Set `DPKG_NLS=0` when calling `dpkg-architecture`
* FSPath: Support tracking ownership and rewrite mode tracking
* Remove internal `show-manifest-rules` command
* Avoid crash if two ELF binaries have the same build-id
* Support running `dwz` for ELF binaries
* GETTING-STARTED-WITH-dh-debputy.md: Improve migration section
* Correct python public directory detection. Previously, if the debug
version of the directory was available, only that was checked for
python scripts. Now `debputy` checks both directories when they are
both present.
* Remove shlibs + symbols migration code it is no longer necessary.
* migration: Fix `min` that should have been `max` causing it to use the
min dh-compat level rather than the max compat level required by
migrations.
* migrate-from-dh: Detect unsupported dh-addons and missing debputy B-D
* debputy: Clarify that `plugin list --help` will list topics
* Remove support for `menutest` and `isinstallable` scripts for now.
There is no support for the deb maintscripts. It seems weird to have
support for the udeb ones.
* Generate the control root in a tempdir to reset state between runs.
* shlibs.py: Fix crash when no `shlibs` and `symbols` files were provided
* Generate temp names with `__` separating the original basename for making
the original basename a little easier to spot.
* Fix bug where perl shebang lines were always rewritten
* debputy: Provide better contextual error messages
* Default most scripts with shebang lines to 755 if no other rule matches it.
This applies to any file having /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, or /sbin
in its #!-line, where a more specific rule does not apply.

debputy (0.1.5) experimental; urgency=medium
* New migration features:
- Lower the min dh compat to 11 for the simplest cases. Some cases
will require higher compat levels (notably, any arch:any packages bumps
the minimum to compat 12).
* debputy: Breaking change: Detect missing installation rules for `debian/tmp`
similar to `dh_missing`. The `debputy` detects completely directories as
possible integration points and provides a bit of context to what kind of
path entry the missing file system object is. The new install-time `exclude`
rule can be used to deliberately ignore uninteresting path objects that is
this feature detects.
* Manifest changes:
- Breaking change: Make `all-of` and `any-of` consistent (case-wise) with
other conditions.
- The `into` key on installation rules are now optional for single binary
packages.
- Fix bug where `dest-dir`, `as` and `when` was ignored for `install` (etc.)
- Support symbolic mode for mode attributes in additional to octal modes.
- Support `exclude` as an install rule (under `installations`) as an
experimental feature.
- Support `exclude` as an inline attribute in some `install` rules.
* Fix error in built-in permission normalization rule that broke directory modes
in some cases.
* Support main-doc package in install rules and apply_compression
* Remove support for debian/udev as it involves `/lib` and `debputy` should not
be involved in the `/usr-merge` transition.
* util.py: Fix bug in detect_fakeroot that would neuter the check
* util.py: Implement an xargs-like interface
* highlevel_manifest_parser.py: Prettify the definition reference
* highlevel_manifest_parser.py: Detect typos if python3-levenshtein is installed
* Remove debug symbols from static libraries (Closes: debputy#32)
* Remove remaining code for supporting "install"- and "mtree"-like formats.
* Provide a new declarative parser and migrate installation rules to use it.
* Replace internal attribute path tracking strings with the new AttributePath
class.
* Improve handling of installation rules that are disabled by conditionals.
* Ensure binNMU changelogs are split out of the main changelog

* Use declarative parser as a subparser for more parts of the manifest
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Installations is now its own top level section
* Generate `${t64:Provides}` for the t64 migration (Closes: debputy#37)
* Fix invalid root dir for multi-binary packages
* MANIFEST-FORMAT.md: Write a conflict rule to apply to `installations` too.
* Avoid assertion error when `owning-package` was used without
`prior-to-version`.
* Support bash-completion via python3-argcomplete. For now, this must be
activated manually via `eval "$(register-python-argcomplete debputy)"`. It is
a bit slow due to start up times not being optimized for this case.
* Breaking change: Rewrite command line handling to remove special case options
(such as `-p`) from the root level. On the other hand, the new logic supports
providing default options on all subparsers, enabling default options such as
`--debug` to appear in all subparsers.
* Make symbols + shlibs "discoverable" by pretending they are packager provided
files. Reuse the detection logic from provider provided files rather than
"hand-rolling" a similar logic.
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Tue, 12 Sep 2023 20:43:15 +0200
debputy (0.1.4) experimental; urgency=medium
* debputy.pm: Breaking change: The debputy dh sequence now removes the
following debhelper tools from the sequence:
- dh_installdirs
- dh_install
- dh_installdocs
- dh_installchangelogs
- dh_installexamples
- dh_installman
- dh_installcatalogs (!)
- dh_installdebconf (!)
- dh_installemacsen (!)
- dh_installinfo
- dh_installinit (!)
- dh_installsysusers
- dh_installsystemd (!)
- dh_installsystemduser (!)
- dh_installmenu (!)
- dh_ucf (!)
- dh_perl
- dh_usrlocal (!)
- dh_installwm (!)
- dh_strip_nondeterminism (!)
- dh_dwz (!)
- dh_strip
- dh_missing (!)
At this point, basically any command *after* dh_auto_install (plus
dh_installdirs, which runs before dh_auto_install) has been removed.
As a consequence, the `debputy.pm` sequence no longer interacts very
well with most debhelper sequence addons. Basically any command
relying on content in `debian/<pkg>` will no longer work with
`dh-debputy`.
Commands marked with (!) has no or almost no replacement support.
If a package rely on these commands, odds are debputy will be
unlikely to support that package. Other commands will have
support for common cases (similar to debhelper's default behavior).
* debputy.py: Breaking change: Remove support for services, debhelper
provided maintscripts and triggers.
* New migration features:
- Auto-migrate `debian/tmpfile` to `debian/tmpfiles`
- Auto-migrate `debian/README.debian` to `debian/README.Debian`.
(debhelper allowed both, debputy only supports the latter, which
is the more common variant).
- Auto-migrate `debian/doc-base.<suffix>` to
`debian/<pkg>.<suffix>.doc-base`. Note that debhelper and debputy
are not aligned on the naming scheme here. Applying this migration
causes debhelper to no longer see the doc-base files.
- Auto-migrate common `debian/install`, `debian/docs` and
`debian/examples` into the `installations` feature (see
"manifest changes" below). Some (but not 100%) dh-exec support
provided as well.
- Detect `debian/<foo>` files for unsupported debhelper tools or
where no migration has been written yet and warn about their usage
affecting the migration.
- Migration now works with debhelper compat 13 rather than compat 14
in most cases. Notable exception being packages that have a
`debian/pam`, which will still trigger a min compat of 14.
* manifest changes:
- Implement `installations` to replace `dh_install`, `dh_installdocs`
and `dh_installexamples`. Please see the `Installations` section
in `MANIFEST-FORMAT.md` for how to use it. Note that `debputy`
installations work differently than debhelper when multiple
patterns match the same path.
* debputy plugin API: Important changes:
- Detached paths are now less volatile. Notably, the `path`
attribute will now always work for plugins. The `parent_dir`
attribute should still be avoided however. Additionally, the
`.lookup` method will now always trigger an exception for a
detached path (previously, it would "sometimes" trigger the
exception depending on the path being resolved).
- Plugins can now choose whether a Packager Provided File (PPF)
should have name segments or have architecture specific
segments. Additionally, the plugin can request that
`debian/foo` is considered a fallback for all packages for
a given file.
- The `BinaryPackagePath` type has been renamed to
`VirtualPath`.
* Improve wording in documentation and fix typos various places.
* Remove `> /dev/null` for `systemd-tmpfiles`.
* Add support for systemd's sysusers file.
* Provide standard excludes for commonly unwanted things
* Support pruning changelog files. When pruning NEWS, keep only entries listed
in the Debian changelog.
* Ensure man, info pages, changelog files and Debian.NEWS files are always
compressed. Previously, these would only be compressed if they had a
certain size. This change makes `debputy` match `dh_compress` better.
* migration: Renames count as successful changes. Previously, the migration
tool would say it could do renames and then claim nothing could be done
followed by not doing anything at the end.
* Fix bug where mode was used as mtime for symlinks.
* manifest/parser: Recognise -dbgsym packages. The package names
are now known and will not trigger an "unknown" package
exception when used. However, currently no directives are allowed
for dbgsym packages so the net result of specifying them is still
an error.
* Migrate to the python logging. Along with a dependency on colorlogs,
this means that output will have some color support. This changes means
more "info" level messages now have basic colors.
* util.py: Fix double quote handling when doing shell escapes.
* debputy.py: Improve error reporting a bit. Notably, previously
some exceptions that should have been caught and rendered in a
user-friendly way now are as intended. Additionally, the debputy
frontend now catches a common cause of exceptions (`RuntimeError`)
and classifies them as "Unexpected exceptions" along with a note
recommending filing a bug for debputy.
* debputy.py: Hide unstable/internal commands. Most of the frontend
commands are now hidden behind an `internal-command` subcommand.
this means that the default help output now only uses 1-2 lines on
the internal or unstable subcommands.
* debputy.py: Provide a `check-manifest` command to parse the manifest
and check for obvious errors without having to build debs.
* Do not mandate dpkg archs to be known. Previously, debputy
would trigger an error if the manifest in the `arch-matches`
condition listed an unknown dpkg arch. This error has been
removed as it is common practice to list new architectures
long before dpkg in stable/oldstable knows the architecture.
* Tweak the auto-generated maintscripts. Notably, indentation
is now two spaces and applied better to avoid weird hanging
lines. Additionally, the first line of a snippet is no longer
accidentally merged into the condition line, which could
cause syntax errors if the fixed line did not have
indentation.
* Detect and register python byte compilation for public
dist-packages dirs and default "package private" dirs
similar to `dh_python3`. This is done because `debputy`
cannot rely on `dh_python3` when it is self-hosting.
Other `dh_python3` are not ported.
* Move all of dh-debputy's files from `usr/share/debputy`
to `usr/share/dh-debputy`. In tandem with the previous
change, this causes debputy now to properly integrate with
the python byte compilation system.
* Correct the "inner" snippet order of generated maintscripts.
All postrm and prerm snippets are supposed in reverse order
and previously some snippets were not reordered correctly.
* migrate-from-dh: Reduce the output to make warnings less likely
to drown in other output.
* migrate-from-dh: Better error reporting on failed executable
dh config emulation.
* migrate-from-dh: Require an explicit --apply-changes for
migrations to performed.

debputy (0.1.3) experimental; urgency=medium
* debputy.pm: Breaking change: The debputy dh sequence now removes the
following debhelper tools from the sequence:
- dh_lintian
- dh_bugfiles
- dh_compress (note: hardlinks are not supported correctly)
* Create a basic plugin API infrastructure and move some of the
debputy into a plugin. Plugins can currently register packager
provided files (`d/pkg.foo -> usr/.../pkg[.conf]`) and detection
(and generation) of maintscript snippets, substvars and triggers.
However, plugins cannot alter the contents of the data.tar.
Additionally, the plugins are not loaded deterministically during
builds (unclean chroot can load too many plugins), so they are not
ready for prime time yet.
* Fixed a bug in debputy's handling of icon-cache generation
(dh_icons).
* Detect kernel modules under /usr in addition to /lib.
* debputy.py: When migrating from dh, detect use of `=>` in
debhelper config files and report it as unsupported. The migrator
would not generate the correct code for these lines. Currently,
none of the debhelper tools where you can use `=>` would be migrated,
so this is just future proofing.
* debputy.py: Provide a `plugin` subcommand to interact with the
plugins. Currently, it can only list plugins and a bit of the
content they provide.
* all frontends: Show colorized error and warning messages similar to
debhelper.
* all frontends: Provide a `--version` that prints the version of
debputy.
* debputy.py: Detect `/usr/local` paths and abort as they are unhandled.
Note that `dh_usrlocal` would normally be run and clean up these
directories, so this is only an issue if you bypass `dh_usrlocal` or
ask debputy to create content in `/usr/local`.

debputy (0.1.2) experimental; urgency=medium
* debputy.pm: Breaking change: The debputy dh sequence now removes the
following debhelper tools from the sequence:
- dh_installudev
- dh_installgsettings
- dh_makeshlibs
* debputy.py: Breaking change: The manifest use `{{X}}` rather than
`${X}` for substitution and remove support for environment variables
in substitutions.
* deb_packer.py: Support most of the dpkg-deb environment variables for
compress settings (etc.). Only known omission is thread count, which
despite having a `--threads-max` option, `deb_packer.py` ignores the
value in the name of compatibility.
* deb_packer.py: Reset the `mtime` of control.tar members according
to the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH rules (clamping). Previously, the `mtime`
was unconditionally reset. Most control.tar members are
generated at runtime, so it only mattered when the control file
is not generated.
* deb_materialization.py: New internal command for materializing the
data.tar part of the deb before assembly (or debugging). The
command can also be used to assembling the materialized deb by
using dpkg-deb or deb_packer.py (referred to as `debputy`).
* debputy.py: Default to using `deb_materialization.py` to
materialize the package and then assemble it with dpkg-deb where
possible. However, automatically fallback to the internal assembly
method when (fake)root is required and `Rules-Requires-Root` is
`no`.
* debputy.py: When using the `migrate-from-dh` subcommand, use
`dh_assistant` to detect override targets that might cause issues
with the migration.
* debputy.py: Rename `show-manifest-changes` to `show-manifest-rules`
and `--show-implicit-changes` to `--show-implicit-rules`.
* builtin_manifest_rules.py: Correct permission for two bugreport
builtin rules when matching a directory. Previously, the
directories would keep their file system mode. Now they are
correctly normalized to 0755 as other directories would have been.
* manifest_conditions.py: Fix a bug where the description of build
profile conditionals where rendered poorly.
* packages.py: Prevent assertion error when user provides a typo'ed
package name for `-p`.
