NAME¶

debian/watch version 4 - Format specification for old format, version 4

DESCRIPTION¶

This document describe old version 4 format of debian/watch.

FORMAT OF THE WATCH FILE, VERSION 4¶

The version 4 format of debian/watch can be summarized as follows:

• Leading spaces and tabs are dropped.
• Empty lines are dropped.
• A line started by # (hash) is a comment line and dropped.
• A single \ (back slash) at the end of a line is dropped and the next line is concatenated after removing leading spaces and tabs. The concatenated line is parsed as a single line. (The existence or non-existence of the space before the tailing single \ is significant.)
• The first non-comment line is:

•

The following non-comment lines (watch lines) specify the rules for the selection of the candidate upstream tarball URLs and are in one of the following three formats:

There are a few special strings which are substituted by uscan to make it easy to write the watch file.

@PACKAGE@

This is substituted with the source package name found in the first line of the debian/changelog file.

@ANY_VERSION@

This is substituted by the legal upstream version regex (capturing).

  [-_]?[Vv]?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*)
    

@ARCHIVE_EXT@

This is substituted by the typical archive file extension regex (non-capturing).

  (?i)(?:\.(?:tar\.xz|tar\.bz2|tar\.gz|tar\.zstd?|zip|tgz|tbz|txz))
    

@SIGNATURE_EXT@

This is substituted by the typical signature file extension regex (non-capturing).

  (?i)(?:\.(?:tar\.xz|tar\.bz2|tar\.gz|tar\.zstd?|zip|tgz|tbz|txz))(?:\.(?:asc|pgp|gpg|sig|sign))
    

@DEB_EXT@

This is substituted by the typical Debian extension regexp (capturing).

  [\+~](debian|dfsg|ds|deb)(\.)?(\d+)?$
    

Some file extensions are not included in the above intentionally to avoid false positives. You can still set such file extension patterns manually.

WATCH FILE OPTIONS¶

uscan reads the watch options specified in opts=" ... " to customize its behavior. Multiple options option1, option2, option3, ... can be set as opts="option1, option2, option3, ... " . The double quotes are necessary if options contain any spaces.

Unless otherwise noted as persistent, most options are valid only within their containing watch line.

The available watch options are:

component=component

Set the name of the secondary source tarball as <spkg>_<oversion>.orig-<component>.tar.gz for a MUT package.

ctype=component-type

Set the type of component (only "nodejs" and "perl" are available for now). This will help uscan to find current version if component version is ignored.

When using ctype=nodejs, uscan tries to find a version in "package.json", when using ctype=perl, uscan tries to find a version in "META.json". If a version is found, it is used as current version for this component, regardless version found in Debian version string. This permits a better change detection when using ignore or checksum as Debian version.

compression=method

Set the compression method when the tarball is repacked (persistent).

Available method values are what mk-origtargz supports, so xz, gzip (alias gz), bzip2 (alias bz2), lzma, default. The default method is currently xz. When uscan is launched in a debian source repository which format is "1.0" or undefined, the method switches to gzip.

Please note the repacking of the upstream tarballs by mk-origtargz happens only if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

repack

Force repacking of the upstream tarball using the compression method.

repacksuffix=suffix

Add suffix to the Debian package upstream version only when the source tarball is repackaged. This rule should be used only for a single upstream tarball package.

mode=mode

Set the archive download mode.

pretty=rule

Set the upstream version string to an arbitrary format as an optional opts argument when the matching-pattern is HEAD or heads/branch for git mode. For the exact syntax, see the git-log manpage under tformat. The default is pretty=0.0~git%cd.%h. No uversionmangle rules is applicable for this case.

When pretty=describe is used, the upstream version string is the output of the "git describe --tags | sed s/-/./g" command instead. For example, if the commit is the 5-th after the last tag v2.17.12 and its short hash is ged992511, then the string is v2.17.12.5.ged992511 . For this case, it is good idea to add uversionmangle=s/^/0.0~/ or uversionmangle=s/^v// to make the upstream version string compatible with Debian. Please note that in order for pretty=describe to function well, upstream need to avoid tagging with random alphabetic tags.

The pretty=describe forces to set gitmode=full to make a full local clone of the repository automatically.

date=rule

Set the date string used by the pretty option to an arbitrary format as an optional opts argument when the matching-pattern is HEAD or heads/branch for git mode. For the exact syntax, see the strftime manpage. The default is date=%Y%m%d.

gitexport=mode

Set the git archive export operation mode. The default is gitexport=default. Set this to gitexport=all to include all files in the .orig.tar archive, ignoring any export-ignore git attributes defined by the upstream. This option also applies to submodules, if gitmodules is specified.

This option is valid only in git mode.

gitmode=mode

Set the git clone operation mode. The default is gitmode=shallow. For some dumb git server, you may need to manually set gitmode=full to force full clone operation.

If the current directory is a git repository and the searched repository is listed among the registered "remotes", then uscan will use it instead of cloning separately.

gitmodules[=modules]

Clone one or more submodules after cloning the main git repository. By default, uscan will clone all submodules linked to the git repository.

To clone selected submodules, use a semicolon-separated list. For example: gitmodules=m4;doc/common.

pgpmode=mode

Set the OpenPGP signature verification mode.

searchmode=mode

Set the parsing search mode.

decompress

Decompress compressed archive before the OpenPGP signature verification.

bare

Disable all site specific special case code such as URL redirector uses and page content alterations. (persistent)

user-agent=user-agent-string

Set the user-agent string used to contact the HTTP(S) server as user-agent-string. (persistent)

user-agent option should be specified by itself in the watch line without URL, to allow using semicolons and commas in it.

unzipopt=options

Add the extra options to use with the unzip command, such as -a, -aa, and -b, when executed by mk-origtargz.

dversionmangle=rules

Normalize the last upstream version string found in debian/changelog to compare it to the available upstream tarball version. Removal of the Debian specific suffix such as s/@DEB_EXT@// is usually done here.

You can also use dversionmangle=auto, this is exactly the same than dversionmangle=s/@DEB_EXT@//

dirversionmangle=rules

Normalize the directory path string matching the regex in a set of parentheses of http://URL as the sortable version index string. This is used as the directory path sorting index only.

Substitution such as s/PRE/~pre/; s/RC/~rc/ may help.

pagemangle=rules

Normalize the downloaded web page string. (Don't use this unless this is absolutely needed. Generally, g flag is required for these rules.)

This is handy if you wish to access Amazon AWS or Subversion repositories in which <a href="..."> is not used.

uversionmangle=rules

Normalize the candidate upstream version strings extracted from hrefs in the source of the web page. This is used as the version sorting index when selecting the latest upstream version.

Substitution such as s/PRE/~pre/; s/RC/~rc/ may help.

versionmangle=rules

Syntactic shorthand for uversionmangle=rules, dversionmangle=rules

hrefdecode=percent-encoding

Convert the selected upstream tarball href string from the percent-encoded hexadecimal string to the decoded normal URL string for obfuscated web sites. Only percent-encoding is available and it is decoded with s/%([A-Fa-f\d]{2})/chr hex $1/eg.

downloadurlmangle=rules

Convert the selected upstream tarball href string into the accessible URL for obfuscated web sites. This is run after hrefdecode.

filenamemangle=rules

Generate the upstream tarball filename from the selected href string if matching-pattern can extract the latest upstream version <uversion> from the selected href string. Otherwise, generate the upstream tarball filename from its full URL string and set the missing <uversion> from the generated upstream tarball filename.

Without this option, the default upstream tarball filename is generated by taking the last component of the URL and removing everything after any '?' or '#'.

pgpsigurlmangle=rules

Generate the candidate upstream signature file URL string from the upstream tarball URL.

oversionmangle=rules

Generate the version string <oversion> of the source tarball <spkg>_<oversion>.orig.tar.gz from <uversion>. This should be used to add a suffix such as +dfsg to a MUT package.

Here, the mangling rules apply the rules to the pertinent string. Multiple rules can be specified in a mangling rule string by making a concatenated string of each mangling rule separated by ; (semicolon).

Each mangling rule cannot contain ; (semicolon), , (comma), or " (double quote).

Each mangling rule behaves as if a Perl command "$string =~ rule" is executed. There are some notable details.

•

rule may only use the s, tr, and y operations.

EXAMPLE OF EXECUTION¶

uscan reads the first entry in debian/changelog to determine the source package name and the last upstream version.

For example, if the first entry of debian/changelog is:

•

bar (3:2.03+dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=low

then, the source package name is bar and the last Debian package version is 3:2.03+dfsg-4.

The last upstream version is normalized to 2.03+dfsg by removing the epoch and the Debian revision.

If the dversionmangle rule exists, the last upstream version is further normalized by applying this rule to it. For example, if the last upstream version is 2.03+dfsg indicating the source tarball is repackaged, the suffix +dfsg is removed by the string substitution s/\+dfsg\d*$// to make the (dversionmangled) last upstream version 2.03 and it is compared to the candidate upstream tarball versions such as 2.03, 2.04, ... found in the remote site. Thus, set this rule as:

•

opts="dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg\d*$//"

uscan downloads a web page from http://URL specified in debian/watch.

• If the directory name part of URL has no parentheses, ( and ), it is taken as verbatim.
• If the directory name part of URL has parentheses, ( and ), then uscan recursively searches all possible directories to find a page for the newest version. If the dirversionmangle rule exists, the generated sorting index is used to find the newest version. If a specific version is specified for the download, the matching version string has priority over the newest version.

For example, this http://URL may be specified as:

•

http://www.example.org/@ANY_VERSION@/

Please note the trailing / in the above to make @ANY_VERSION@ as the directory.

If the pagemangle rule exists, the whole downloaded web page as a string is normalized by applying this rule to it. This is very powerful tool and needs to be used with caution. If other mangling rules can be used to address your objective, do not use this rule.

The downloaded web page is scanned for hrefs defined in the <a href=" ... "> tag to locate the candidate upstream tarball hrefs. These candidate upstream tarball hrefs are matched by the Perl regex pattern matching-pattern such as DL-(?:[\d\.]+?)/foo-(.+)\.tar\.gz to narrow down the candidates. This pattern match needs to be anchored at the beginning and the end. For example, candidate hrefs may be:

• DL-2.02/foo-2.02.tar.gz
• DL-2.03/foo-2.03.tar.gz
• DL-2.04/foo-2.04.tar.gz

Here the matching string of (.+) in matching-pattern is considered as the candidate upstream version. If there are multiple matching strings of capturing patterns in matching-pattern, they are all concatenated with . (period) to form the candidate upstream version. Make sure to use the non-capturing regex such as (?:[\d\.]+?) instead for the variable text matching part unrelated to the version.

Then, the candidate upstream versions are:

• 2.02
• 2.03
• 2.04

The downloaded tarball filename is basically set to the same as the filename in the remote URL of the selected href.

If the uversionmangle rule exists, the candidate upstream versions are normalized by applying this rule to them. (This rule may be useful if the upstream version scheme doesn't sort correctly to identify the newest version.)

The upstream tarball href corresponding to the newest (uversionmangled) candidate upstream version newer than the (dversionmangled) last upstream version is selected.

If multiple upstream tarball hrefs corresponding to a single version with different extensions exist, the highest compression one is chosen. (Priority: tar.xz > tar.lzma > tar.bz2 > tar.gz.)

If the selected upstream tarball href is the relative URL, it is converted to the absolute URL using the base URL of the web page. If the <base href=" ... "> tag exists in the web page, the selected upstream tarball href is converted to the absolute URL using the specified base URL in the base tag, instead.

If the downloadurlmangle rule exists, the selected upstream tarball href is normalized by applying this rule to it. (This is useful for some sites with the obfuscated download URL.)

If the filenamemangle rule exists, the downloaded tarball filename is generated by applying this rule to the selected href if matching-pattern can extract the latest upstream version <uversion> from the selected href string. Otherwise, generate the upstream tarball filename from its full URL string and set the missing <uversion> from the generated upstream tarball filename.

Without the filenamemangle rule, the default upstream tarball filename is generated by taking the last component of the URL and removing everything after any '?' or '#'.

uscan downloads the selected upstream tarball to the parent ../ directory. For example, the downloaded file may be:

•

../foo-2.04.tar.gz

Let's call this downloaded version 2.04 in the above example generically as <uversion> in the following.

If the pgpsigurlmangle rule exists, the upstream signature file URL is generated by applying this rule to the (downloadurlmangled) selected upstream tarball href and the signature file is tried to be downloaded from it.

If the pgpsigurlmangle rule doesn't exist, uscan warns user if the matching upstream signature file is available from the same URL with their filename being suffixed by the 5 common suffix asc, sig, sign, pgp and gpg. (You can avoid this warning by setting pgpmode=none.)

If the signature file is downloaded, the downloaded upstream tarball is checked for its authenticity against the downloaded signature file using the armored keyring debian/upstream/signing-key.asc (see "KEYRING FILE EXAMPLES" in uscan(1)). If its signature is not valid, or not made by one of the listed keys, uscan will report an error.

If the oversionmangle rule exists, the source tarball version oversion is generated from the downloaded upstream version uversion by applying this rule. This rule is useful to add suffix such as +dfsg to the version of all the source packages of the MUT package for which the repacksuffix mechanism doesn't work.

uscan invokes mk-origtargz to create the source tarball properly named for the source package with .orig. (or .orig-<component>. for the secondary tarballs) in its filename.

case A: packaging of the upstream tarball as is

mk-origtargz creates a symlink ../bar_<oversion>.orig.tar.gz linked to the downloaded local upstream tarball. Here, bar is the source package name found in debian/changelog. The generated symlink may be:

case B: packaging of the upstream tarball after removing non-DFSG files

mk-origtargz checks the filename glob of the Files-Excluded stanza in the first section of debian/copyright, removes matching files to create a repacked upstream tarball. Normally, the repacked upstream tarball is renamed with suffix to ../bar_<oversion><suffix>.orig.tar.gz using the repacksuffix option for the single upstream package. Here <oversion> is updated to be <oversion><suffix>.

The removal of files is required if files are not DFSG-compliant. For such case, +dfsg is used as suffix.

So the combined options are set as opts="dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg\d*$// ,repacksuffix=+dfsg", instead.

For example, the repacked upstream tarball may be:

uscan normally invokes "uupdate --find --upstream-version oversion " for the version=4 watch file.

Please note that --find option is used here since mk-origtargz has been invoked to make *.orig.tar.gz file already. uscan picks bar from debian/changelog.

It creates the new upstream source tree under the ../bar-<oversion> directory and Debianize it leveraging the last package contents.

WATCH FILE EXAMPLES¶

When writing the watch file, you should rely on the latest upstream source announcement web page. You should not try to second guess the upstream archive structure if possible. Here are the typical debian/watch files.

Please note that executing uscan with -v or -vv reveals what exactly happens internally.

The existence and non-existence of a space the before tailing \ (back slash) are significant.

Some undocumented shorter configuration strings are used in the below EXAMPLES to help you with typing. These are intentional ones. uscan is written to accept such common sense abbreviations but don't push the limit.
