Hi All,

Hi Mikko!

I have a few packages at CPAN.
Recently, I created a package, Env::Assert <https://metacpan.org/dist/Env-Assert> which I used at the office when creating containers for data pipelines.

Alright :)

To make it easier to use Env::Assert in Debian containers, I would like to package it for Debian. But I know nothing about Debian packaging, besides,
of course, using them (installing with apt or dpkg).
Can anyone help me to package Env::Assert, please?

I think the question is: What is your objective?
- If you want to learn creating Debian packages and join the Debian
Perl Group and maintain 4000 packages -- great, we need more
people!
- If you want to get Env::Assert into Debian, the easiest way is to
ask us to package it :)

If it's the latter: I just spent 2 minutes with dh-make-perl and
Env::Assert, and if I spend 5 minutes more, I can upload the package
to the archive. [0]

If it's the former: Additionally to Andrius' hints we can give you
more pointers for getting into the packaging business.


Cheers,
gregor


[0] Although I just realize that this might be better named envassert
than libenv-assert-perl, as it's more about the binary than the
library, right?

Yes, that’s right. In this case the library is mostly a bi-product, not really meant to be used by itself.
Would it be better if Env::Assert was two separate (CPAN) packages, one for lib and one for executable?

Thank you.

Hi Gregor and Mikko,

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but can I please request a new package too?

App::Session::Token / https://metacpan.org/dist/App-Session-Token/view/bin/session-token

This is a command-line interface for my Session::Token library (already packaged as libsession-token-perl).

For my everyday work-flow, it's the only package I still need to install
from CPAN. I also think it would be useful for other people. If I had to suggest a package name I'd say just "session-token" (name of the bin)
but anything would be fine.

Actually I tried to figure out how to do the packaging myself a while
ago, but something wasn't working for me (a form URL was timing out
IIRC) so I gave up.

In case it helps, I made a wish-list description:

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : session-token
  Version         : 0.102
  Upstream Author : Doug Hoyte <[email protected]>
* URL             : https://metacpan.org/dist/App-Session-Token
* License         : Artistic or GPL-1+
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description     : Generate session tokens, passwords, random data,
and more

The session-token script is a command-line interface to the
Session::Token library,
packaged as libsession-token-perl. It is a flexible utility for
generating random
data, allowing users to specify alternate alphabets, and specify random
token sizes
by minimum entropy or directly by size. Multiple tokens can be output as
a stream,
useful in pipelines. An arbitrary seed can be provided in case
deterministic output
is needed, for example in test suites.


Thank you!!

Doug

Another Package but putting a script into the distribution with the

Yes, this could work too. Initially I thought to keep them separate,
thinking some users of the library would not want to also install a
script. And at this point, the library is pretty widely used so I'm
hesitant to push a script onto all installations.

I think that would be overkill.

What I often see is that distributions like this are named App-foo on
the CPAN, so maybe App-envassert would be an option. But from a

 Yes, this could work too. Initially I thought to keep them separate, thinking some users of the library would not want to also install a
script. And at this point, the library is pretty widely used so I'm
hesitant to push a script onto all installations.

Given the script is about 3600 kB (bin and module), I don't think many
people would notice it. ;) It could be an optional install.

Probably you are right. If you all feel this is the best way I can do
this instead. Please let me know.

Oh, and looking at this now I see I was a unit out. It is ~3.6 kB. :)

When Env:Assert is packaged, will it become available to all supported Debians? When?

I've uploaded env-assert to the NEW queue right now. After the review
by the ftp-master team, it will be available in unstable, and a
couple of days later it will migrate to testing.

Is there a repository for the packaging code?

https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/env-assert

What's the status here?

Doug, have you decided if you want to merge App::Session::Token into Session::Token?

Andrew, are you prepared to handle this issue on the Debian side?
(Just checking if I can drop it from my Potential-TODO-List.)

Cheers,
gregor

Hehe sorry!

What's the status here?

Doug, have you decided if you want to merge App::Session::Token into Session::Token?

Personally I would prefer a separate package, just because I don't
really know if there are any down-stream consequences for anyone who
depends on the CPAN distribution or deb/rpm packages. This is how it's
been distributed for [checks notes] 11 years -- now I feel old! :)

Thanks!

Doug
