In 2017, the dpkg suite introduced the rootless builds support with the
following commits:

  - 2436807c87b0 ("dpkg-deb: Add support for rootless builds")
  - fca1bfe84068 ("dpkg-buildpackage: Add support for rootless builds")

This feature is available in the default dpkg on Debian 10 and Ubuntu
20.04.

Remove the old method.

<title>kbuild: remove the last use of old cmd_src_tar rule in packaging</title>

<content type='text'>
The rpm-pkg and deb-pkg targets have transitioned to using 'git archive'
for tarball creation.

Although the old cmd_src_tar is still used by snap-pkg, there is no need
to pack and unpack a tarball solely for passing the source to snapcraft.

Instead, you can use 'source-type: local' to tell the source location to
snapcraft.

<title>kbuild: deb-pkg: apply short -R and -j options</title>

<content type='text'>
The long version --rules-file and --jobs are available since 1.18.8
while their short analogues -R and -j have been added since 1.14.7.

The option --rules-file the way it works currently was introduced in the
commit 5cd52673aabdf5eaa58181972119a41041fc85f2 of dpkg dated 23.07.18
with the following changelog entry:

* Fix dpkg-buildpackage option --rules-file parsing. It was trying to parse
  it as --rules-target, which due to the ordering was a no-op.

The current behavior of the long version --rules-file is guaranteed to
be in use starting 1.19.1 and might cause build failures for some
versions newer than 1.18.8 even in spite of being documented that way.

<title>kbuild: make binrpm-pkg always produce kernel-devel package</title>

<content type='text'>
The generation of the kernel-devel package is disabled for binrpm-pkg
presumably because it was quite big (&gt;= 200MB) and took a long time to
package.

Commit fe66b5d2ae72 ("kbuild: refactor kernel-devel RPM package and
linux-headers Deb package") reduced the package size to 12MB, and now
it is quick to build. It won't hurt to have binrpm-pkg generate it by
default.

If you want to skip the kernel-devel package generation, you can pass
RPMOPTS='--without devel':

  $ make binrpm-pkg RPMOPTS='--without devel'

<title>kbuild: deb-pkg: support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=N in debian/rules</title>

'make srcdeb-pkg' generates a source package, which you can build
later by using dpkg-buildpackage.

In older dpkg versions, 'dpkg-buildpackage --jobs=N' sets not only
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS but also MAKEFLAGS. Hence, passing -j or --jobs
to dpkg-buildpackage was enough for kicking the parallel execution.

The behavior was changed by commit 1d0ea9b2ba3f ("dpkg-buildpackage:
Change -j, --jobs semantics to non-force mode") of dpkg project. [1]

Since then, 'dpkg-buildpackage --jobs=N' sets only DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS,
which is not parsed by the current debian/rules. To build the package
in parallel, you need to pass the alternative --jobs-force option or
set the MAKEFLAGS environment variable.

Debian policy [2] suggests the following code snippet for debian/rules.

  ifneq (,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
      NUMJOBS = $(patsubst parallel=%,%,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
      MAKEFLAGS += -j$(NUMJOBS)
  endif

I tweaked the code to filter out parallel=1 and passed --jobs=1 to
dpkg-buildpackage from scripts/Makefile.package. It is needed to force
'make deb-pkg' without the -j option to run in serial. Please note that
dpkg-buildpackage sets parallel=&lt;nproc&gt; in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS by default
(that is, --jobs=auto is the default) and --jobs=1 is needed to restore
the serial execution. When dpkg-buildpackage is invoked from Kbuild,
the number of jobs is inherited from the top level Makefile. Passing
--jobs=1 to dpkg-buildpackage allows debian/rules to skip parsing
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

<title>kbuild: deb-pkg: use Debian compliant shebang for debian/rules</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4b970e436523ed34da4ced74ad2b81e5a4f573f2</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &gt;= 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.

<title>kbuild: rpm-pkg: skip build dependency check on non-rpm systems</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 8818039f959b ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable
using koji") added the BuildRequires: field.

Checking the build dependency is fine, but one annoyance is that
'make (bin)rpm-pkg' fails on non-rpm systems [1]. For example, Debian
provides rpmbuild via 'apt install rpm', but of course cannot meet the
requirement listed in the BuildRequires: field.

It is possible to pass RPMOPTS=--nodeps to work around it, but it is
reasonable to do it automatically.

If 'rpm -q rpm' fails, it is not an RPM-managed system. (The command
'rpm' is not installed at all, or was installed by other means.)

In that case, pass --nodeps to skip the build dependency check.

Merge the similar build targets.

Also, make the output location consistent.

Previously, source packages were created in the build directory,
while binary packages under ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/.

Now, Kbuild creates the rpmbuild/ directory in the build directory,
and saves all packages under it.

Currently, 'make rpm-pkg' always builds the kernel from the pristine
source tree in the ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/ directory.

Build the kernel incrementally just like 'make binrpm-pkg'.
