The Ubuntu/Debian dependency build shipped as three bash scripts
(build-dep-debs.sh, build-apt-repo.sh, mk-dep-chroots.sh) whose review
(PR #63) surfaced correctness problems: partial/stale output could be
published, the rpm->deb genesis conversion dropped the maintained package
semantics (Depends/Breaks/Replaces + maintainer scripts), the arch matrix
was invalid (x86-only syslinux/elilo/xnba treated as ppc64el packages, and
Architecture:all packages with no single producer), several required
failures exited zero, and the build/repo scripts disagreed on their staging
path and codename set (focal missing from the assembler).
Rewrite it as proper, unit-tested Perl mirroring the EL side
(mockbuild-all.pl / MockBuildUtils.pm / <dep>/mockbuild.pl / t/*.t /
packages-manifest.conf), sharing one CLI vocabulary:
- BuildUtils.pm: shared, testable helpers + the canonical CLI spec, plus the
Debian-specific helpers (out-of-tree changelog stamping, genesis control
preservation, deb inspection, cross-arch genesis provisioning).
- sbuild-all.pl: the orchestrator, absorbing all three shell scripts. Builds
+ validates into a fresh per-arch staging tree and only (re)assembles the
published apt repo from validated staging -- so partial/failed output never
ships and stale debs never accumulate. Auto-initializes the per-codename
sbuild chroots on first run. Fails the whole run non-zero on any missing
chroot/package/artifact or version-pin mismatch.
- <dep>/sbuild.pl x7: per-package builders that drive each package's
MAINTAINED debian/ in the matching chroot (never re-implemented), so the
converted/built packages keep their control metadata and maintainer scripts.
- debs-manifest.conf: per-[<codename>-<arch>] required set + version pins,
encoding the per-arch package sets (x86 boot components built once on amd64
as the single producer; ppc64el builds only the arch-specific compiled deps).
- t/sbuild-all.t: fixture tests for every pure helper.
- goconserver/make_deb.sh: pin the upstream SHA instead of cloning a moving
branch, so every matrix cell builds the same source (reproducible).
Codename set unified across build, assembly, chroots and docs (focal IS
supported). BUILD.md documents the new flow.
