💖 DH_LISP — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual, and it's literally all about dh_lisp 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dh_lisp — registering Common Lisp source and implementations, that's the whole job description 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dh_lisp [debhelper options] [implementation]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So dh_lisp is a debhelper program, and its whole main character moment is registering Common Lisp source and implementations with the Common Lisp Controller. no cap.

For Common Lisp library packages, dh_lisp will automatically generate the postinst and prerm commands you need to interface with the Common Lisp Controller. it also links the given ASDF system definitions appropriately ✨ and it takes into account all the ASDs that you installed below usr/share/common-lisp/source (for example with dh_install(1)). it's giving thorough.

If dh_lisp finds precompiled files from CLISP, SBCL or CMUCL, it will add a dependency on the implementation that can read the FASL version used by the implementation currently installed. (and yeah — this is most likely the one which built the binaries in the package 👀)

If you supply implementation, dh_lisp automatically installs the implementation-specific script, which is expected to reside in debian/implementation.sh. and then dh_lisp automatically generates the necessary maintainer scripts to register the implementation with the Common Lisp Controller. slay.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -n, --noscripts — do not add to maintainer scripts. simple as that 🙈
  • -d — do not generate dependencies on implementations for binary files in the package
  • implementation — Install the debian/implementation.sh script and generate maintainer scripts to (un)register implementation at the Common Lisp Controller.

🫶 NOTES 🫶

heads up bestie, this one's important: note that this command is not idempotent. dh_clean -k should be called between invocations of this command. otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts. 😭 so like, please run the clean step, fr fr.
