💖 lua5.1-pol...kage-layout(1) — a General Commands Manual moment

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat for lua5.1-policy-create-svnbuildpackage-layout. it's a General Commands Manual page, and no, the title is not a typo, that's genuinely how it's rendered up top. the actual program name is the long one. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lua5.1-policy-create-svnbuildpackage-layout — a program that creates an svn-buildpackage compliat repository for a lua package. 💅

(yes, compliat. we're keeping it exactly as the page says it. no cap.)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lua5.1-policy-create-svnbuildpackage-layout PKG

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So lua5.1-policy-create-svnbuildpackage-layout is this little program that builds you a standard layout for svn-buildpackage. it's giving scaffolding energy. it's giving "let me set up your whole repo so you don't have to" energy. 😌

heads up bestie: you must call it from inside an svn repository — usually from inside the packages/ directory. that's the vibe check it needs to pass before it does anything.

and then it creates all of these for you, literally:

$PKG/trunk
$PKG/tags
$PKG/build-area
$PKG/tarballs
$PKG/trunk/debian
$PKG/trunk/debian/patches
$PKG/trunk/debian/patches/00list
$PKG/trunk/debian/patches/00dpatch.conf
$PKG/trunk/debian/watch
$PKG/trunk/debian/Makefile.Debian.conf
$PKG/trunk/debian/rules

obsessed. 💖

and that's not even all of it, because it also sets svn properties:

  • the svn property svn:ignore gets set to '*' on $PKG/build-area — so basically nothing in there shows up as untracked, iconic
  • mergeWithUpstream gets set to 1 on $PKG/trunk/debian — periodt
