DH_PYPY(1)DH_PYPY(1)
NAME
dh_pypy - calculates PyPy dependencies, adds maintainer scripts to byte
compile files, etc.
SYNOPSIS
dh_pypy -p PACKAGE [-V [X.Y][-][A.B]] DIR [-X REGEXPR]
DESCRIPTION
QUICK GUIDE FOR MAINTAINERS
o build-depend on pypy and dh-python,
o add ${pypy:Depends} to Depends
o build module/application using its standard build system,
o install files to the standard locations,
o add pypy to dh's --with option, or:
o call dh_pypy in the binary-* target,
NOTES
dependencies
dh_pypy tries to translate Python dependencies from the requires.txt
file to Debian dependencies. In many cases, this works without any ad-
ditional configuration because dh_pypy comes with a build-in mapping of
Python module names to Debian packages that is periodically regenerated
from the Debian archive. By default, the version information in the
Python dependencies is discarded. If you want dh_pypy to generate more
strict dependencies (e.g. to avoid ABI problems), or if the automatic
mapping does not work correctly for your package, you have to provide
dh_pypy with additional rules for the translation of Python module to
Debian package dependencies.
For a package pypy-foo that depends on a package pypy-bar, there are
two files that may provide such rules:
1. If the pypy-foo source package ships with a debian/pypy-overrides
file, this file is used by dh_pypy during the build of pypy-foo.
2. If the pypy-bar source package ships with a debian/pypy-bar.pydist
file (and uses dh_pypy), this file will be included in the binary
package as /usr/share/dh-python/dist/pypy/pypy-bar. During the build
of pypy-foo, dh_pypy will then find and use the file.
Both files have the same format described in
/usr/share/doc/dh-python/README.PyDist. If all you want is to generate
versioned dependencies (and assuming that the pypy-bar package provides
the pybar Python module), in most cases it will be sufficient to put
the line pybar pypy-bar; PEP386 into either of the above files.
namespace feature
dh_pypy parses Egg's namespace_packages.txt files (in addition to
--namespace command line argument(s)) and drops empty __init__.py files
from binary package. pypycompile will regenerate them at install time
and pypyclean will remove them at uninstall time (if they're no longer
used in installed packages). It's still a good idea to provide
__init__.py file in one of binary packages (even if all other packages
use this feature).
private dirs
/usr/share/foo, /usr/share/games/foo, /usr/lib/foo and
/usr/lib/games/foo private directories are scanned for Python files by
default (where foo is binary package name). If your package ships
Python files in some other directory, add another dh_pypy call in de-
bian/rules with directory name as an argument - you can use different
set of options in this call. If you need to change options for a pri-
vate directory that is checked by default, invoke dh_pypy with
--skip-private option and add another call with a path to this direc-
tory and new options.
debug packages
In binary packages which name ends with -dbg, all files in
/usr/lib/pypy/dist-packages/ directory that have extensions different
than so or h are removed by default. Use --no-dbg-cleaning option to
disable this feature.
overriding supported / default PyPy versions
If you want to override system's list of supported PyPy versions or the
default one (f.e. to build a package that includes symlinks for older
version of PyPy or compile .py files only for given interpreter ver-
sion), you can do that via DEBPYPY_SUPPORTED and/or DEBPYPY_DEFAULT
env. variables.
OPTIONS
--version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show help message and exit
--no-guessing-deps
disable guessing dependencies
--no-dbg-cleaning
do not remove any files from debug packages
--no-ext-rename do not add magic tags nor multiarch tuples to extension
file names
--no-shebang-rewrite
do not rewrite shebangs
--skip-private
don't check private directories
-v, --verbose
turn verbose mode on
-i, --indep
act on architecture independent packages
-a, --arch
act on architecture dependent packages
-q, --quiet
be quiet
-p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE
act on the package named PACKAGE
-N NO_PACKAGE, --no-package=NO_PACKAGE
do not act on the specified package
-X REGEXPR, --exclude=REGEXPR
exclude items that match given REGEXPR. You may use this option
multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
--compile-all
compile all files from given private directory in postinst/rtup-
date not just the ones provided by the package (i.e. do not pass
the --package parameter to py3compile/py3clean)
