dpt-lib.sh(5)

dpt shell library

NAME

dpt-lib.sh - dpt shell library

DESCRIPTION

dpt-lib.sh is sourced by dpt(1) and contains a collection of shell functions and variables which can be used by dpt subcommands written in shell. As a side effect, it also sanity checks if the script is run from a source package directory with a .git/ sub directory.

USAGE

Source the file at the beginning of the shell script as

    . "${DPT__SCRIPTS:-/usr/share/pkg-perl-tools}/lib/dpt-lib.sh"

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

Parameters: $message

Echos "E: $message" to STDERR and exits 1.

"warn"

Parameters: $message

Echos "W: $message" to STDERR.

"info"

Parameters: $message

Echos "I: $message" to STDERR.

"is_command"

Parameters: $command, $package (optional)

Checks if $command can be executed (running "command -v"); returns false, outputs a warning (and optionally a hint to install $package).

"is_installed"

Parameters: $package_name, $minimum_package_version (optional)

Checks if $package_name is installed, optionally at $minimum_package_version, and returns false with a warning otherwise.

"is_pkg_perl"

"gitddiff"

Offers to show the diff against the last debian/ tag, if there is any.

"colored"

Parameters: $color, $text

Outputs $text in $color, unless the NO_COLOR environment variable is set.

Available colors are (in capital letters): "BLACK", "RED", "GREEN", "YELLOW", "BLUE", "MAGENTA", "CYAN", "WHITE".

"extra_colored"

Parameters: $color, $bgcolor, $text

Outputs $text in foreground $color on $bgcolor, unless the NO_COLOR environment variable is set.

Available colors for both foreground and background are (in capital letters): "BLACK", "RED", "GREEN", "YELLOW", "BLUE", "MAGENTA", "CYAN", "WHITE".

AVAILABLE VARIABLES

"PKG"

Source package name, from debian/changelog.

"VER"

Source package version, from debian/changelog.

"UVER"

Upstream version, i.e. source package version (from debian/changelog) without epoch and Debian revision.

"DIST"

Source package distribution, from debian/changelog.

Colors

Cf. the colored() function above.

For using colors directly, the following variables exist;

"C_BLACK", "C_RED", "C_GREEN", "C_YELLOW", "C_BLUE", "C_MAGENTA", "C_CYAN", "C_WHITE", plus "C_RESET" to go back from coloring.

For background colors, the same colors exist as "BG_C_foo".

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

"OOT"

OOT (as in "out-of-tree"), if set, disables the check if a script is run in a source package directory and a Git repository.

Can be used as

    OOT=1 . "${DPT__SCRIPTS:-/usr/share/pkg-perl-tools}/lib/dpt-lib.sh"

and is useful for scripts which are run on build results etc.

This also means that the variables derived from debian/changelog are not available.
