stdeb - Python to Debian source package conversion utility
==========================================================
`stdeb <http://github.com/astraw/stdeb>`_ produces Debian source
packages from Python packages via a new distutils command,
``sdist_dsc``. Automatic defaults are provided for the Debian package,
but many aspects of the resulting package can be customized (see the
customizing section, below). An additional command, ``bdist_deb``,
creates a Debian binary package, a .deb file. The ``install_deb``
command installs this .deb file. The ``debianize`` command builds a
``debian/`` directory directly alongside your setup.py.
Several convenience utilities are also provided:
* ``pypi-download`` will query the `Python Package Index (PyPI)
<http://pypi.python.org/>`_ for a package and download it.
* ``pypi-install`` will query the `Python Package Index (PyPI)
<http://pypi.python.org/>`_ for a package, download it, create a
.deb from it, and then install the .deb.
* ``py2dsc`` will convert a distutils-built source tarball into a
Debian source package.
* ``py2dsc-deb`` will convert a distutils-built source tarball into a
Debian source package and then use the Debian machinery to build a
.deb file from this.

Python 3 support
----------------
As explained in more detail below, the heart of stdeb is the sdist_dsc
distutils command. This command runs once to generate a Debian source
package. This Debian source package can specify building packages for
Python 2, Python 3, or both. Furthermore, this generation can be done
with the Python 2 or Python 3 interpreter. By default, only packages
are built for the version of Python being used. To override this, use
``--with-python2=True`` or ``--with-python3=True`` as an argument to
the sdist_dsc distutils command (or use both to be sure). For example,
to build only a Python 3 package using the Python 3 interpreter::
python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
To build both Python 2 and Python 3 packages using the Python 3
interpreter (and only the Python3 package installs scripts)::
python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc --with-python2=True --with-python3=True --no-python2-scripts=True bdist_deb
News
----
* 2015-02-18: **Version 0.8.5**. See the `download page
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.8.5>`__. Bugfixes: reverted
change that installed into virtualenv when built in
virtualenv. Improvements: Added
`--allow-virtualenv-install-location` to allow installing into
virtualenv location. Supports Debian Squeeze (6), Debian Wheezy
(7), Ubuntu Precise (12.04), Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) and later
releases.
* 2015-02-16: **Version 0.8.4**. See the `download page
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.8.4>`__. Bugfixes: works on
Python 3.4 (e.g. Ubuntu Trusty) again. Improvements: Improved
customization for Python 3 (Dirk Thomas added
`force-x-python3-version` and `X-Python3-Version` and Louis for
`Recommends3`, `Suggests3`, `Provides3` and `Replaces3`
support. Supports Debian Squeeze (6), Debian Wheezy (7), Ubuntu
Precise (12.04), Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) and later releases.
* 2015-02-14: **Version 0.8.3**. See the `download page
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.8.3>`__. This is a bugfix
release which fixes several aspects of Unicode support. Tests pass
on Debian Squeeze (6), Debian Wheezy (7), and Ubuntu Precise
(12.04). Support for Python 3.4 (e.g. Ubuntu Trusty 14.04) was
mistakenly broken and was fixed in the 0.8.3 release.
* 2014-8-14: **Version 0.8.2**. See the `download page
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.8.2>`__. This is a bugfix
release fixing a serious issue that would cause a Python 2 package
to be built if only a Python 3 package was requested in some
circumstances.
* 2014-8-10: **Version 0.8.1**. See the `download page
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.8.1>`__. Due
to bugs in 0.8.0, this release is the first announced from the 0.8
series. Highlights since 0.7.1:
- Full support for Python 3. This includes being run from Python 3
and generating packages for Python 3. The default is to build
Python 3 packages when run with Python 3 and to build Python 2
packages when run from Python 2. Command line options can be used
to build packages for the other Python interpreter, too.
- Build .changes file for source package. While this still must be
signed for upload to a PPA, for example, it should still be
useful in some cases.
- Switch to Debian source format 3.0 (quilt). Practically speaking,
the .diff.gz file that used to come with a source package is now
replaced by a .debian.tar.gz file.
- Verify SSL certificates when talking to PyPI using
Requests. (Verification requires Requests >= 0.8.8.)
- Many bugfixes.
* 2014-05-05: **Version 0.7.1**. See the `download page
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.7.1>`__. Highlights for this
release (you may also wish to consult the full `changelog
<http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/blob/release-0.7.1/CHANGELOG.txt>`__). Due
to bugs in 0.7.0, this release is the first announced from the 0.7
series. Highlights since 0.6.0:
- New commands: pypi-download and pypi-install to directly download
and install packages from PyPI, respectively. py2dsc-deb directly
creates a .deb file from a source tarball.
- New distutils command: install_deb lets you directly install a
python package as a standard system package.
- Many bugfixes, including the new URL for PyPI.
- Automated runs of test suite, thanks to Travis CI
- Thanks to many, especially Piotr Ożarowski for help with stdeb.
* 2010-06-18: **Version 0.6.0**. See the `download page
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.6.0>`__. Highlights for this
release (you may also wish to consult the full `changelog
<http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/blob/release-0.6.0/CHANGELOG.txt>`__):
- A new ``debianize`` command to build a ``debian/`` directory
alongside your setup.py file.
- Bugfixes.
* 2010-01-09: **Version 0.5.1**. Bugfix release. See the `download
page <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.5.1>`__, the `changelog

The commands
------------
pypi-download, command-line command
```````````````````````````````````
``pypi-download`` takes a package name, queries PyPI for it and downloads
it::
pypi-download [options] mypackage
pypi-install, command-line command
``````````````````````````````````
``pypi-install`` takes a package name, queries PyPI for it, downloads
it, builds a Debian source package and then .deb from it, and this
installs it::
pypi-install [options] mypackage
py2dsc, command-line command
````````````````````````````
``py2dsc`` takes a .tar.gz source package and build a Debian source
package from it::
py2dsc [options] mypackage-0.1.tar.gz # uses pre-built Python source package
py2dsc-deb, command-line command
````````````````````````````````
``py2dsc-deb`` takes a .tar.gz source package and build a Debian source
package and then a .deb file from it::
py2dsc-deb [options] mypackage-0.1.tar.gz # uses pre-built Python source package
sdist_dsc, distutils command
````````````````````````````
All methods eventually result in a call to the ``sdist_dsc`` distutils
command. You may prefer to do so directly::
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc
A Debian source package is produced from unmodified
Python packages. The following files are produced in a newly created
subdirectory ``deb_dist``:
* ``packagename_versionname.orig.tar.gz``
* ``packagename_versionname-debianversion.dsc``
* ``packagename_versionname-debianversion.diff.gz``
These can then be compiled into binary packages using the standard
Debian machinery (e.g. dpkg-buildpackage).
bdist_deb, distutils command
````````````````````````````
A ``bdist_deb`` distutils command is installed. This calls the
sdist_dsc command and then runs dpkg-buildpackage on the result::
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
install_deb, distutils command
``````````````````````````````
The ``install_deb`` distutils command calls the bdist_deb command and
then installs the result. You need to run this with superuser privilege::
sudo python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command install_deb
debianize, distutils command
````````````````````````````
The ``debianize`` distutils command builds the same ``debian/``
directory as used in the previous command, but the output is placed
directly in the project's root folder (alongside setup.py). This is
useful for customizing the Debian package directly (rather than using
the various stdeb options to tune the generated package).
::
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command debianize
A note about telling distutils to use the stdeb distutils commands
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Distutils command packages can also be specified in distutils
configuration files (rather than using the ``--command-packages``
command line argument to ``setup.py``), as specified in the `distutils
documentation
<https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/extending.html>`_. Specifically,
you could include this in your ``~/.pydistutils.cfg`` file::
[global]
command-packages: stdeb.command
Examples
--------
These all assume you have stdeb installed in your system Python
path. stdeb also works from a non-system Python path (e.g. a
`virtualenv <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_).
Quickstart 1: Install something from PyPI now, I don't care about anything else
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Do this from the command line::
pypi-install mypackage
**Warning: Despite doing its best, there is absolutely no way stdeb
can guarantee all the Debian package dependencies will be properly
fulfilled without manual intervention. Using pypi-install bypasses
your ability to customize stdeb's behavior. Read the rest of this
document to understand how to make better packages.**
Quickstart 2: Just tell me the fastest way to make a .deb
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
(First, install stdeb as you normally install Python packages.)
Do this from the directory with your `setup.py` file::
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
This will make a Debian source package (.dsc, .orig.tar.gz and
.diff.gz files) and then compile it to a Debian binary package (.deb)
for your current system. The result will be in ``deb_dist``.
**Warning: installing the .deb file on other versions of Ubuntu or
Debian than the one on which it was compiled will result in undefined
behavior. If you have extension modules, they will probably
break. Even in the absence of extension modules, bad stuff will likely
happen.**
For this reason, it is much better to build the Debian source package
and then compile that (e.g. using `Ubuntu's PPA`__) for each target
version of Debian or Ubuntu.

Quickstart 3: I read the warning, so show me how to make a source package, then compile it
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
This generates a source package::
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/R/Reindent/Reindent-0.1.0.tar.gz
py2dsc Reindent-0.1.0.tar.gz
This turns it into a .deb using the standard Debian tools. (Do *this*
on the same source package for each target distribution)::
cd deb_dist/reindent-0.1.0/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
This installs it::
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i python-reindent_0.1.0-1_all.deb
Quickstart 4: Install from a Python package direct to a debian system package
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
(First, install stdeb as you normally install Python packages.)
Do this from the directory with your `setup.py` file::
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command install_deb
This will make a Debian source package (.dsc, .orig.tar.gz and
.diff.gz files), compile it to a Debian binary package (.deb) for your
current system and then install it using ``dpkg``.
Another example, with more explanation
``````````````````````````````````````
This example is more useful if you don't have a Python source package
(.tar.gz file generated by ``python setup.py sdist``). For the sake of
illustration, we do download such a tarball, but immediately unpack it
(alternatively, use a version control system to grab the unpacked
source of a package)::
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/R/Reindent/Reindent-0.1.0.tar.gz
tar xzf Reindent-0.1.0.tar.gz
cd Reindent-0.1.0
The following will generate a directory ``deb_dist`` containing the
files ``reindent_0.1.0-1.dsc``, ``reindent_0.1.0.orig.tar.gz`` and
``reindent_0.1.0-1.diff.gz``, which, together, are a debian source
package::
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc
The source generated in the above way is also extracted (using
``dpkg-source -x``) and placed in the ``deb_dist`` subdirectory. To
continue the example above::
cd deb_dist/reindent-0.1.0
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
Finally, the generated package can be installed::
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i python-reindent_0.1.0-1_all.deb
For yet another example of use, with still more explanation, see
`allmydata-tahoe ticket 251`_.

Install (or, using stdeb to create an stdeb installer)
------------------------------------------------------
For a bit of fun, here's how to install stdeb using stdeb. Note that
stdeb is also in Debian and Ubuntu, so this recipe is only necessary
to install a more recent stdeb.
::
STDEB_VERSION="0.8.5"
# Download stdeb
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/stdeb/stdeb-$STDEB_VERSION.tar.gz
# Extract it
tar xzf stdeb-$STDEB_VERSION.tar.gz
# Enter extracted source package
cd stdeb-$STDEB_VERSION
# Build .deb (making use of stdeb package directory in sys.path).
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
# Install it
sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/python-stdeb_$STDEB_VERSION-1_all.deb
Background
----------
For the average Python package, its source distribution
(python_package.tar.gz created with ``python setup.py sdist``)
contains nearly everything necessary to make a Debian source
package. This near-equivalence encouraged me to write this distutils
extension, which executes the setup.py file to extract relevant
information. `setuptools
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_ may optionally
be used.
I wrote this initially to Debianize several Python packages of my own,
but I have the feeling it could be generally useful. It appears
similar, at least in theory, to easydeb_, `Logilab's Devtools`_,
bdist_dpkg_, bdist_deb_, pkgme_ and `dh-virtualenv
<https://github.com/spotify/dh-virtualenv>`__.

Features
--------
* Create a package for all Python versions supported by
python-support. (Limiting this range is possible with the
``XS-Python-Version:`` config option.)
* Automatic conversion of Python package names into valid Debian
package names.
* Attempt to automatically convert version numbers such that ordering
is maintained. See also the config option
``Forced-Upstream-Version``.
* Fine grained control of version numbers. (``Debian-Version``,
``Forced-Upstream-Version``, ``Upstream-Version-Prefix``,
``Upstream-Version-Suffix`` config options.)
* Install .desktop files. (``MIME-Desktop-Files`` config option.)
* Install .mime and .sharedmimeinfo files. (``MIME-File`` and
``Shared-MIME-File`` config options.)
* Install copyright files. (``Copyright-File`` config option.)
* Apply patches to upstream sources. (``Stdeb-Patch-File`` config
option.)
* Pass environment variables to setup.py script. (``Setup-Env-Vars``
config option.)
Customizing the produced Debian source package (config options)
---------------------------------------------------------------
stdeb will attempt to provide reasonable defaults, but these are only
guesses.
There are two ways to customize the Debian source package produced by
stdeb. First, you may provide options to the distutils
commands. Second, you may provide an ``stdeb.cfg`` file.
stdeb distutils command options
```````````````````````````````
The sdist_dsc command takes command-line options to the distutils
command. For example::
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc --debian-version 0MyName1
This creates a Debian package with the Debian version set to
"0MyName1".
These options can also be set via distutils configuration
files. (These are the ``setup.cfg`` file alongside ``setup.py`` and
the ~/.pydistutils.cfg file.) In that case, put the arguments in the
``[sdist_dsc]`` section. For example, a project's ``~/.setup.cfg``
file might have this::
[sdist_dsc]
debian-version: 0MyName1
To pass these commands to sdist_dsc when calling bdist_deb, do this::
python setup.py sdist_dsc --debian-version 0MyName1 bdist_deb

You may also pass any arguments described below for the stdeb.cfg file
via distutils options. Passing the arguments this way (either on the
command line, or in the ``[sdist_dsc]`` section of a distutils .cfg
file) will take precedence. The option name should be given in lower
case.
stdeb.cfg configuration file
````````````````````````````
You may write config files of the format understood by `ConfigParser
<http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ConfigParser.html>`_. When building
each package, stdeb looks for the existance of a ``stdeb.cfg`` in the
directory with ``setup.py``. You may specify an additional config file
with the command-line option --extra-cfg-file. The section should
should either be [DEFAULT] or [package_name], which package_name is
specified as the name argument to the setup() command. An example
stdeb.cfg file is::
[DEFAULT]
Depends: python-numpy

Prerequisites
-------------
* Python 2.7 or Python 3.x
* Standard Debian utilities such as ``date``, ``dpkg-source`` and
Debhelper 7 (use stdeb 0.3.x if you need to support older
distributions without dh7)
* If your setup.py uses the setuptools features ``setup_requires`` or
``install_requires``, you must run ``apt-file update`` prior to
running any stdeb command.
TODO
----
* Make output meet `Debian Python Policy`_ specifications or the `new
python policy`_. This will include several things, among which are:
- the ability to make custom changelogs
- the ability to include project-supplied documentation as a -doc package
- include license information in debian/copyright
- the ability to include project-supplied examples, tests, and data
as a separate package
- much more not listed
* Create (better) documentation
* Log output using standard distutils mechanisms
* Refactor the source code to have a simpler, more sane design

Call for volunteers
-------------------
I don't have a lot of time for this. This project stands a very real
chance of being only a shadow of its potential self unless people step
up and contribute. There are numerous ways in which people could
help. In particular, I'd be interested in finding a co-maintainer or
maintainer if the project generates any interest. Secondarily, I would
appreciate advice from Debian developers or Ubuntu MOTUs about the
arcane details of Python packaging.
