NAME
Dpkg::Vendor::Default - default vendor class
DESCRIPTION
A vendor class is used to provide vendor specific behaviour in various
places. This is the default class used in case there's none for the
current vendor or in case the vendor could not be identified (see
Dpkg::Vendor documentation).
It provides some hooks that are called by various dpkg-* tools. If you
need a new hook, please file a bug against dpkg-dev and explain your
need. Note that the hook API has no guarantee to be stable over an
extended period of time. If you run an important distribution that makes
use of vendor hooks, you'd better submit them for integration so that we
avoid breaking your code.
Note: This is a private module, its API can change at any time.
METHODS
$vendor_obj = Dpkg::Vendor::Default->new()
Creates the default vendor object. Can be inherited by all vendor
objects if they don't need any specific initialization at object
creation time.
$vendor_obj->run_hook($id, @params)
Run the corresponding hook. The parameters are hook-specific. The
supported hooks are:
before-source-build ($srcpkg)
The first parameter is a Dpkg::Source::Package object. The
hook is called just before the execution of
$srcpkg->build().
package-keyrings ()
The hook is called when dpkg-source is checking a signature
on a source package (since dpkg 1.18.11). It takes no
parameters, but returns a (possibly empty) list of vendor-
specific keyrings.
archive-keyrings ()
The hook is called when there is a need to check signatures
on artifacts from repositories, for example by a download
method (since dpkg 1.18.11). It takes no parameters, but
returns a (possibly empty) list of vendor-specific keyrings.
archive-keyrings-historic ()
The hook is called when there is a need to check signatures
on artifacts from historic repositories, for example by a
download method (since dpkg 1.18.11). It takes no
parameters, but returns a (possibly empty) list of vendor-
specific keyrings.
builtin-build-depends ()
The hook is called when dpkg-checkbuilddeps is initializing
the source package build dependencies (since dpkg 1.18.2).
It takes no parameters, but returns a (possibly empty) list
of vendor-specific Build-Depends.
builtin-build-conflicts ()
The hook is called when dpkg-checkbuilddeps is initializing
the source package build conflicts (since dpkg 1.18.2). It
takes no parameters, but returns a (possibly empty) list of
vendor-specific Build-Conflicts.
register-custom-fields ()
The hook is called in Dpkg::Control::Fields to register
custom fields. You should return a list of arrays. Each
array is an operation to perform. The first item is the
name of the operation and corresponds to a field_* function
provided by Dpkg::Control::Fields. The remaining fields are
the parameters that are passed unchanged to the
corresponding function.
Known operations are "register", "insert_after" and
"insert_before".
post-process-changelog-entry ($fields)
The hook is called in Dpkg::Changelog to post-process a
Dpkg::Changelog::Entry after it has been created and filled
with the appropriate values.
update-buildflags ($flags)
The hook is called in Dpkg::BuildFlags to allow the vendor
to override the default values set for the various build
flags. $flags is a Dpkg::BuildFlags object.
builtin-system-build-paths ()
The hook is called by dpkg-genbuildinfo to determine if the
current path should be recorded in the Build-Path field
(since dpkg 1.18.11). It takes no parameters, but returns a
(possibly empty) list of root paths considered acceptable.
As an example, if the list contains "/build/", a Build-Path
field will be created if the current directory is
"/build/dpkg-1.18.0". If the list contains "/", the path
will always be recorded. If the list is empty, the current
path will never be recorded.
build-tainted-by ()
The hook is called by dpkg-genbuildinfo to determine if the
current system has been tainted in some way that could
affect the resulting build, which will be recorded in the
Build-Tainted-By field (since dpkg 1.19.5). It takes no
parameters, but returns a (possibly empty) list of tainted
reason tags (formed by alphanumeric and dash characters).
sanitize-environment ()
The hook is called by dpkg-buildpackage to sanitize its
build environment (since dpkg 1.20.0).
backport-version-regex ()
The hook is called by dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-
mergechangelog to determine the backport version string that
should be specially handled as not an earlier than version
or remapped so that it does not get considered as a pre-
release (since dpkg 1.21.3). The returned string is a regex
with one capture group for the backport delimiter string, or
undef if there is no regex.
$vendor->set_build_features($flags)
Sets the vendor build features, which will then be used to
initialize the build flags.
$vendor->add_build_flags($flags)
Adds the vendor build flags to the compiler flag variables based on
the vendor defaults and previously set build features.
