+Packaging PostgreSQL Extensions for Debian
+==========================================
+January 2024, Christoph Berg <myon@debian.org>
+
+Debian ships many PostgreSQL applications and extensions as packages. I often
+get asked by developers how they would get their programs packaged, and ended
+up writing the same reply over and over. This is a write-up intended as a more
+thorough answer.
+
+# Anatomy of Debian packages
+
+Debian knows two sorts of packages: "source" packages and "binary" packages.
+The latter type is the `.deb` files that get installed using apt or dpkg. The
+first type is what this article is mostly about. For both sorts of packages,
+there is an unpacked form and a packed form.
+
+## Binary packages
+
+Packed binary packages are a single `.deb` file:
+
+```
+$ ls -al postgresql-16-unit_7.7-1_amd64.deb
+-rw-r--r-- 1 myon myon 136740 Jan 12 14:13 postgresql-16-unit_7.7-1_amd64.deb
+
+$ dpkg-deb -I postgresql-16-unit_7.7-1_amd64.deb
+ new Debian package, version 2.0.
+ size 136740 bytes: control archive=1332 bytes.
+     643 bytes,    15 lines      control
+    2046 bytes,    25 lines      md5sums
+ Package: postgresql-16-unit
+ Source: postgresql-unit
+ Version: 7.7-1
+ Architecture: amd64
+ Maintainer: Christoph Berg <myon@debian.org>
+ Installed-Size: 500
+ Depends: postgresql-16, postgresql-16-jit-llvm (>= 16), libc6 (>= 2.14)
+ Section: database
+ Priority: optional
+ Homepage: https://github.com/df7cb/postgresql-unit
+ Description: SI Units for PostgreSQL
+  postgresql-unit implements a PostgreSQL datatype for SI units, plus byte. The
+  base units can be combined to named and unnamed derived units using operators
+  defined in the PostgreSQL type system. SI prefixes are used for input and
+  output, and quantities can be converted to arbitrary scale.
+
+$ dpkg-deb -c postgresql-16-unit_7.7-1_amd64.deb
+drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2023-01-06 16:34 ./
+drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2023-01-06 16:34 ./usr/

+-rw-r--r-- root/root       244 2023-01-06 16:34 ./usr/share/postgresql/16/extension/unit.control
+...
+```
+
+The unpacked binary package is of course the files being installed on the
+system.
+
+## Source packages
+
+Unpacked source packages consist of the original upstream source code, with a `debian/` directory added.
+
+```
+postgresql-unit/
+├── debian/
+│   ├── changelog
+│   ├── control
+│   ├── control.in
+│   ├── copyright
+│   ├── gitlab-ci.yml
+│   ├── NEWS
+│   ├── pgversions
+│   ├── rules*
+│   ├── source/
+│   │   └── format
+│   ├── tests/
+│   │   ├── control
+│   │   └── installcheck*
+│   ├── upstream/
+│   │   └── metadata
+│   └── watch
+├── Makefile
+├── NEWS.md
+├── README.md
+├── unit--7.sql.in
+├── unit.c
+└── unit.control
+```
+
+Most packages are maintained in Git, which tracks this unpacked source package
+form. (Either with or without the original upstream source, more on that
+later.)
+
+Packed source packages are actually a set of files:
+
+```
+-rw-rw-r--   1 myon myon   3848 Jan 12 14:31 postgresql-unit_7.7-1.debian.tar.xz
+-rw-rw-r--   1 myon myon   1100 Jan 12 14:31 postgresql-unit_7.7-1.dsc
+-rw-rw-r--   1 myon myon 414114 Jan 12 14:12 postgresql-unit_7.7.orig.tar.gz
+```
+
+This transport format is used for uploading to the Debian archive and for
+retrieving the source code using `apt source`. (It is not stored in Git.)
+
+The `.orig.tar.gz` is the original source tarball as distributed by upstream,
+either as download from the upstream homepage, or for projects hosted on
+GitHub, often a tarball automatically generated by GitHub from an upstream Git
+tag.
+
+The `.debiar.tar.xz` file contains the `debian/` directory.
+
+The `.dsc` file is a descriptor that contains pointers to the other files in
+the source package, and more meta information.
+
+```

+```
+
+## Building the source package
+
+To get started with working with a Debian package, get the unpacked source
+package. This could mean invoking `apt source`, but most often checking out the
+packaging Git repository is the better option as it might contain changes that
+have not been uploaded yet. It also makes contributing changes easier. For
+packages, that are already part of Debian, the `debcheckout` tool can automate
+that (it uses the `Vcs-Git` field in the metadata).
+
+To build the packed source packed from the unpacked one, enter the package
+directory, and invoke `dpkg-buildpackage -S --no-sign`:
+
+```
+postgresql-unit $ dpkg-buildpackage -S --no-sign
+dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package postgresql-unit
+dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 7.7-1
+dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable
+dpkg-buildpackage: info: source changed by Christoph Berg <myon@debian.org>
+ dpkg-source --before-build .
+ debian/rules clean
+dh clean --with pgxs
+...
+ dpkg-source -b .
+dpkg-source: info: using source format '3.0 (quilt)'
+dpkg-source: info: building postgresql-unit using existing ./postgresql-unit_7.7.orig.tar.gz
+dpkg-source: info: building postgresql-unit in postgresql-unit_7.7-1.debian.tar.xz
+dpkg-source: info: building postgresql-unit in postgresql-unit_7.7-1.dsc
+ dpkg-genbuildinfo --build=source -O../postgresql-unit_7.7-1_source.buildinfo
+ dpkg-genchanges --build=source -O../postgresql-unit_7.7-1_source.changes
+dpkg-genchanges: info: including full source code in upload
+ dpkg-source --after-build .
+dpkg-buildpackage: info: source-only upload (original source is included)
+```
+
+Note that the artifacts produced by `dpkg-buildpackage` are always in the *parent* directory of the working directory.
+To make room for that, I always create *two* levels of directory for my working copies, so a typical case looks like this:
+
+```

+```
+
+Again, the resulting `.deb` files are placed in the parent directory.
+
+By default, this also builds the source. If this fails (often when there are
+files that differ from the tarball version, more on patches later), use `-b` to
+skip building the source: `dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign`.
+
+If building fails because of missing dependencies, install them using
+`apt build-dep .`.
+
+There are various front-end utilities to automate these building steps better
+(git-buildpackage, sbuild, pbuilder, debuild), but dpkg-buildpackage is just
+fine.
+
+## The debian/ directory
+
+The `debian/` directory contains metadata and build instructions for the
+package. "Creating a Debian package" really means editing the files in this
+directory to make the package behave as desired.
+
+### debian/control
+
+The control file contains one section for the source package, followed by one
+or more sections for binary packages.
+
+```
+$ cat debian/control

+Description: SI Units for PostgreSQL
+ postgresql-unit implements a PostgreSQL datatype for SI units, plus byte. The
+ base units can be combined to named and unnamed derived units using operators
+ defined in the PostgreSQL type system. SI prefixes are used for input and
+ output, and quantities can be converted to arbitrary scale.
+```
+
+(In the case of PostgreSQL extension packages, the control file is
+automatically generated from `debian/control.in`, see below. Normal packages do
+not have a control.in file.)
+
+### debian/rules
+
+The rules file handles the actual binary package building steps, in Makefile
+syntax.
+
+Almost all packages today use a helper system called `debhelper` which consists
+of various building blocks called `dh_*` that handle the build steps.
+Historically, rules files would consist of long lists of `dh_*` steps (similar
+to the build output above), but there is a "sequencer" command `dh` that knows
+how to invoke the basic steps.
+
+Many packages that don't need any tweaking at that level have a very short
+`debian/rules` file. (Make sure the indentation is a tab, not spaces!)
+
+```
+#!/usr/bin/make -f
+
+%:
+        dh $@
+```
+
+Or in the case of PostgreSQL extensions:
+
+```
+#!/usr/bin/make -f
+
+%:
+        dh $@ --with pgxs
+```
+
+If any of the `dh_*` steps need changes, we can override them in the rules file
+by adding a `override_dh_*` target:
+
+```
+#!/usr/bin/make -f
+
+override_dh_installdocs:
+        dh_installdocs --all README.*
+
+override_dh_pgxs_test:
+        # defer testing to autopkgtest, the data tables are not in /usr/share/postgresql yet
+
+%:
+        dh $@ --with pgxs
+```
+
+### Build steps
+
+The most interesting build steps to hook into are:
+
+#### `dh_auto_configure`
+
+Autodetects the build system and runs `./configure`, `cmake` and the like with
+a set of default options.
+
+To add options, do:
+
+```
+override_dh_auto_configure:
+        dh_auto_configure -- -DEXTRA_OPTION=foo --with-bar
+```
+
+#### `dh_auto_build`
+
+The main build step. If the automatically run command is wrong, just override it.
+
+```
+override_dh_auto_build:
+        $(MAKE) -C some_sub_dir world
+```
+
+#### `dh_auto_install`
+
+Runs upstreams' `make install` or equivalent. The files are installed into
+`DESTDIR=debian/foo` (single-binary package) or `DESTDIR=debian/tmp`
+(multi-binary package).
+
+#### `dh_install` and `debian/foo.install`
+
+If there is more than one binary package, the files installed in `debian/tmp`
+need to be distributed to the individual binary packages. This is done by
+directory/file lists in `debian/*.install`.
+
+### debian/source/format
+
+Should be verbatim this:
+
+```
+3.0 (quilt)
+```
+
+(More on quilt and patches below.)
+
+### debian/copyright
+
+Debian wants copyright information on *all* files in a package. For private
+package, this file can be omitted, but for anything official, this file has to
+list all the copyright holders, along with any copyright terms and license
+texts.
+
+### debian/watch
+
+To get informed about new upstream versions, Debian runs a "watch" system that
+polls upstream download locations for new package versions. The `debian/watch`
+file tells the `uscan` tool where to look and (optionally) how to transform
+upstream's version naming scheme into a Debian-compatible one.
+
+```

+This is a simple example where `uscan` looks at some GitHub "tags" URL, parses
+the HTML, and recognizes all links pointing to .tar.gz files as new versions.
+The regexp part of the URL in parentheses is used as the version number.
+
+The `uscan` tool is part of the `devscripts` package which holds a bunch of
+utilities useful for packaging tasks.
+
+## Patching the upstream source
+
+Debian packages are based on upstream tarballs, and `dpkg-buildpackage` does
+not like changed (or new) files (except in the `debian/` directory). Changes
+need to be done using patch files stored in the `debian/patches/` directory,
+and applied in the order listed in `debian/patches/series`.
+
+At package build time, support is built-in in dpkg-buildpackage. Patches can
+edited with whatever tool, with `quilt` being the easiest solution. (It's an
+optional package that likely isn't preinstalled.) `quilt` needs some
+configuration in `~/.quiltrc`:
+
+```
+QUILT_DIFF_OPTS="-p"
+QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab --no-timestamps --no-index"
+QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
+```
+
+Some useful commands:
+
+* Apply all patches: `quilt push -a`
+* Unapply all patches: `quilt pop -a`
+* Create a new patch: `quilt new foo`
+* Add a file to a patch: `quilt add bar` (do this *before* changing the file!)
+* Add a file and edit it: `quilt edit bar`
+* Show current diff: `quilt diff`
+* Save a patch after editing: `quilt refresh`
+
+Suppose we want to fix something in the `unit.c` file:
+
+```
+$ quilt new unit-dllexport
+Patch unit-dllexport is now on top
+
+$ quilt add unit.c
+File unit.c added to patch unit-dllexport
+
+$ vi unit.c
+
+$ quilt diff | cat

+patches as needed.
+
+## Tests
+
+Package tests are run in two flavors: at build-time and later independently on
+packages installed on some system.
+
+### Build-time package tests
+
+If an upstream project has a test suite, it is recommended to run it at build
+time. In many cases, `dh_auto_test` will guess how to do that and no extra
+configuration is needed. If it guesses incorrectly, use `override_dh_auto_test`
+to provide a better command.
+
+### Install-time package tests
+
+Next to tests at build-time, we can also run tests when the binary packages are
+installed on some actual system. This has the advantage that it runs when all
+files are in their final location, and can also interface with other packages
+and services that might not be available at build time. It can also run
+periodically to spot regression, while build-time tests would usually not be
+repeated.
+
+Debian's system to run these tests is `autopkgtest`. The TL;DR version of the
+documentation is this: In the `debian/tests/` directory, provide a command
+(usually a shell script) that exercises some package smoke test or more complex
+scenario. Register that test in `debian/tests/control`.
+
+```
+postgresql-unit/debian/tests/
+├── control
+└── installcheck*
+
+$ cat debian/tests/control
+Depends: @, make
+Tests: installcheck
+Restrictions: allow-stderr
+
+$ cat debian/tests/installcheck
+#!/bin/sh
+pg_buildext -i '--locale=C.UTF-8' installcheck
+```
+
+In `Depends` the `@` is a shorthand for all binary packages built from this
+source. Other packages that the tests needs (and that the binaries don't depend
+on) can be listed here. `Restrictions` declare tests properties. Examples are
+`allow-stderr` (don't consider stderr output to be a test failure) and
+`root-needed` (run test as root instead of an unprivileged user).
+
+In Debian, these tests are run automatically for QA, see
+https://ci.debian.net/. More details are in the autopkgtest package
+documentation in /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest/.
+
+# PostgreSQL extension packages
+
+Packages for PostgreSQL extensions work as described above, but since
+extensions have to be compiled for each PostgreSQL major version separately,
+things are a bit more complex.
+
+For Debian, the process is changed to still have one source package per
+upstream project, but to build separate binary packages for each PostgreSQL
+major version. The naming scheme is `postgresql-NN-foo`. (In case the upstream
+project is called `pg_foo`, make a judgment call if `postgresql-NN-pg-foo` or
+`postgresql-NN-foo` is better.)
+
+In Debian, only one PostgreSQL major version is supported at a time, but in the
+https://apt.postgresql.org/ repository, many major versions are supported in
+parallel (currently PostgreSQL 10 everything newer, even when 10 is already
+EOL).
+
+## `debian/control.in`
+
+In order not to have to edit the list of binary packages built when a new
+PostgreSQL major version comes out, or when a source package is built both for
+Debian and for apt.postgresql.org, the `debian/control` file is generated from
+a template in `debian/control.in`.
+
+```
+$ cat debian/control.in
+Source: postgresql-unit
+Section: database
+Priority: optional
+Maintainer: Christoph Berg <myon@debian.org>
+Build-Depends:
+ bison,
+ debhelper-compat (= 13),
+ flex,
+ postgresql-server-dev-all (>= 217~),
+Standards-Version: 4.6.2

+Package: postgresql-PGVERSION-unit
+Architecture: any
+Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${postgresql:Depends}
+Description: SI Units for PostgreSQL
+ postgresql-unit implements a PostgreSQL datatype for SI units, plus byte. The
+ base units can be combined to named and unnamed derived units using operators
+ defined in the PostgreSQL type system. SI prefixes are used for input and
+ output, and quantities can be converted to arbitrary scale.
+```
+
+The section with the `PGVERSION` token is duplicated for each major version
+supported, with the version number filled in.
+
+## `debian/pgversions`
+
+Not every package supports all PostgreSQL major versions. The
+`debian/pgversions` file is used to mark which versions are actually supported,
+so apt.postgresql.org can skip building the other version.
+
+Unless we know the exact versions supported, we should use `all`:
+
+```
+$ cat debian/pgversions
+all
+```
+
+If 14 or newer is supported:
+
+```
+$ cat debian/pgversions
+14+
+```
+
+### Supported versions
+
+`debian/pgversions` lists the versions supported *by the package*. The other
+half of that system is the set of versions supported *by the system*. This list
+is configured in `/etc/postgresql-common/supported_versions` or by setting the
+`PG_SUPPORTED_VERSIONS` environment variable. (Set this variable to test
+building for other major versions.) The actual build process will use the
+intersection of these two lists.
+
+## `pg_buildext`
+
+The process of building PostgreSQL extensions for several major versions is
+automated by the `pg_buildext` utility. It provides commands for the most
+common tasks.
+
+Package building:
+
+* `pg_buildext supported-versions` - print list of supported versions.
+  Use this to loop over versions in `debian/rules`.
+* `pg_buildext build build-%v` - build in `build-%v` directory
+* `pg_buildext install build-%v postgresql-%v-unit` - invoke `make install`
+* `pg_buildext installcheck build-%v postgresql-%v-unit` - invoke
+  `make installcheck` for build-time testing
+* `pg_buildext loop postgresql-%v-unit` - use instead of
+  `build/install/installcheck` if the package doesn't support out-of-tree
+  builds in subdirectories
+* `pg_buildext updatecontrol` - rebuild `debian/control` from
+  `debian/control.in`. Run this manually when the set of supported versions has
+  changed. This is not run automatically because the Debian packaging policy
+  forbids changing the set of binary packages at build time. (In environments
+  where this is not an issue, set `PG_UPDATECONTROL=yes`.)
+
+Package testing:
+
+* `pg_buildext installed-versions` - print list of installed versions.
+  Use this to loop over versions in `debian/tests/*`.
+* `pg_buildext installcheck` - invoke `make installcheck` on installed packages
+
+## `dh --with pgxs`
+
+A debhelper extension `pgxs` is provided that adds builds steps to the `dh`
+build sequence.
+
+```
+$ cat debian/rules
+#!/usr/bin/make -f
+
+%:
+        dh $@ --with pgxs
+```
+
+If the package doesn't support out-of-tree builds, use
+`dh $@ --with pgxs_loop`.
+
+```
+   dh_auto_build --buildsystem=pgxs
+        pg_buildext build build-%v
+   dh_auto_install --buildsystem=pgxs
+        pg_buildext install build-%v postgresql-%v-unit
+   dh_pgxs_test
+        pg_buildext installcheck . build-%v postgresql-%v-unit
+```
+
+To override any of these steps, use `override_dh_auto_*` in `debian/rules`.
+
+## Package template
+
+To get started with a new package, the `dh_make_pgxs` tool can generate a
+skeleton `debian/` directory:
+
+```
+$ dh_make_pgxs
+```
+
+If the auto-detected values are wrong, hit `^C` and add more command line
+parameters.
