From 4b970e436523ed34da4ced74ad2b81e5a4f573f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 21:19:25 +0900 Subject: kbuild: deb-pkg: use Debian compliant shebang for debian/rules Debian Policy "4.9. Main building script: debian/rules" requires "debian/rules must start with the line #!/usr/bin/make -f". [1] Currently, Kbuild does not follow this policy. When Kbuild generates debian/rules, "#!$(command -v $MAKE) -f" is expanded by shell. The resuling string may not be "#!/usr/bin/make -f". There was a reason to opt out the Debian policy. If you run '/path/to/my/custom/make deb-pkg', debian/rules must also be invoked by the same Make program. If #!/usr/bin/make were hard-coded in debian/rules, the sub-make would be executed by a possibly different Make version. This is problematic due to the MAKEFLAGS incompatibility, especially the job server flag. Old Make versions used --jobserver-fds to propagate job server file descriptors, but Make >= 4.2 uses --jobserver-auth. The flag disagreement between the parent/child Makes would result in a process fork explosion. However, having a non-standard path in the shebang causes another issue; the generated source package is not portable as such a path does not exist in other build environments. This commit solves those conflicting demands. Hard-code '#!/usr/bin/make -f' in debian/rules to create a portable and Debian-compliant source package. Pass '--rules-file=$(MAKE) -f debian/rules' when dpkg-buildpackage is invoked from Makefile so that debian/rules is executed by the same Make program as used to start Kbuild.
