=head1 NAME

pg_buildext - Build and install a PostgreSQL extension

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<pg_buildext> [I<options>] I<action> [I<src-dir>] [I<arguments>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<pg_buildext> is a script that will build a PostgreSQL extension in a C<VPATH>
way, for potentially several PostgreSQL server versions in parallel.
It builds for the intersection of versions known in
C<debian/pgversions> (versions supported by the package) and in
C</usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions> (versions supported in this
release).

Many PostgreSQL extension packages require no special handling at build time
and can use B<dh $@ --with pgxs> or B<dh $@ --with pgxs_loop> to
automatically execute the steps outlined below.

=head1 USAGE

Packages using B<pg_buildext> should be prepared to build binaries for
PostgreSQL versions that are not present in Debian unstable, e.g. for older
releases when building backports for Debian (old)stable (possibly including
backports of newer PostgreSQL releases), or for all PostgreSQL releases when
the package is built for B<apt.postgresql.org>.

As the set of binary packages depends on the target PostgreSQL versions,
C<debian/control> is generated from a template in C<debian/control.in> when
B<pg_buildext updatecontrol> is run.
Package sections that contain B<PGVERSION> in the package name are replaced by
a list of sections, filling in the supported PostgreSQL versions.
Package sections that contain B<PGVERSION> outside the package name have the
newest supported PostgreSQL version filled in (useful for meta packages);
words containing B<PGVERSIONS> be replaced by a list of words with the
supported versions filled in, this is most useful in B<Build-Depends>.
Include
C</usr/share/postgresql-common/pgxs_debian_control.mk> in C<debian/rules> to
run a check at build time if updating debian/control is required.

As B<pg_buildext> invokes B<make> for the B<build>, B<install>, and B<clean>
actions, invocations from C<debian/rules> (which is a makefile) should be prefixed
with B<+> so the sub-makes can talk with the make jobserver. Additional makefile
variables can be passed to B<make> via the B<-m> option.

Many extensions support B<make installcheck> testing using B<pg_regress>. As
this needs the package to be installed, it cannot be run at build time.
Instead, the tests should be run using B<autopkgtest> from C<debian/tests/*>.

If C<debian/tests/control.in> exists, occurrences of package names containing
B<PGVERSION> are replaced by lists of package names with the target PostgreSQL
versions filled in. (If no replacing is needed in C<debian/tests/control>, it
is fine to provide the tests control file directly.)

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-cio> I<arg>

=item B<-s>

Passed to B<pg_virtualenv> when running B<installcheck>.

These arguments can also be set via the B<PG_VIRTUALENV_ARGS> environment
variable.

=item B<-m> I<arg>

Passed to B<make>.

=back

=head1 ACTIONS

Most actions expect a directory name where to build the sources. It will get
created for you if it does not exist. If the I<build-dir> contains a C<%v>
sign, it will get replaced by the specific version of PostgreSQL being built
against. (Usually this parameter is C<build-%v>.)

=over 4

=item B<supported-versions>

Print effective list of supported versions, i.e. the intersection of the sets
of versions supported by the system
(from C</usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions>) and the package
(from C<debian/pgversions>).

Use this when building packages.

=item B<installed-versions>

In the list of installed packages, look for packages matching the B<PGVERSION>
package name templates from C<debian/control.in>, and print the PostgreSQL
major version number part.

Use this when testing packages.

=item B<checkcontrol>

Check if C<debian/control> needs updating from C<debian/control.in>. This is
invoked from C</usr/share/postgresql-common/pgxs_debian_control.mk>. When
building for a B<backports> or B<pgdg> suite as determined by
C<debian/changelog>, this action also updates the control file. Otherwise,
B<updatecontrol> needs to be run manually.

=item B<updatecontrol>

Update C<debian/control> from C<debian/control.in>, and C<debian/tests/control>
from C<debian/tests/control.in> if the latter exists.

=item B<configure> [I<src-dir>] I<build-dir> [I<extra-configure-options>]

For every supported version, call B<../configure> from the I<build-dir>
directory. (Most PostgreSQL extensions do not have a configure script.)

=item B<build> [I<src-dir>] I<build-dir> [I<extra-cflags>]

Build the extension in the I<build-dir> directory.

=item B<install> [I<src-dir>] I<build-dir> I<package-pattern>

Invoke B<make install> from the I<build-dir> directory.
The third parameter specifies the package name to use. Most packages
use B<postgresql-%v-pkgname>. Make will be
called with DESTDIR="$(CURDIR)/debian/I<package>".

The B<dpkg> substitution variable B<postgresql:Depends> is set to depend
on the required PostgreSQL server package. For compatibility with previous
packaging standards, the dependency is also added to B<misc:Depends> if
postgresql:Depends is not used.

=item B<clean> [I<src-dir>] [I<build-dir>] [I<package-pattern>]

Clean the build directories.

=item B<loop> [I<src-dir>] I<package-pattern>

As a variant to calling B<build> and B<install> separately for VPATH builds,
loop over the supported PostgreSQL versions in the top source directory. This
should be used if the package does not support VPATH builds. As it also invokes
B<make install>, it should be placed were installation happens in debian/rules,
rather than where build would normally be called.

=item B<installcheck> [I<src-dir>] [I<build-dir>] [I<package-pattern>]

Use B<pg_virtualenv make installcheck> to run the extension regression tests.
This is meant to be run from C<debian/tests/control> using B<autopkgtest>. If
I<build-dir> is omitted, the top source directory is used.

If I<package-pattern> is given, options are passed to B<pg_virtualenv> to set
up the temporary PostgreSQL instance to find extension files in
C<debian/package-directory/>.

Other than the other actions which run on the "supported" versions, if C<debian/control.in> exists, this one
runs on the "installed" versions as reported by B<installed-versions> (unless
I<package-pattern> is provided, which means we are called during a build).

=item B<psql> [I<src-dir>] [I<build-dir>] [I<package-pattern>]

=item B<virtualenv> [I<src-dir>] [I<build-dir>] [I<package-pattern>]

Like B<installcheck>, but invokes B<psql>, or a shell, both wrapped in
B<pg_virtualenv>. Input is read from stdin.

=item B<run> [I<src-dir>] I<command>

=item B<run_installed> [I<src-dir>] I<command>

Runs I<command>, with B<%v> placeholder replaced on all supported versions, or
all installed versions, respectively.

=back

Sometimes it is desirable to run extra code per version before invoking the
action, in that case the loop over supported versions needs to be in the
calling script. To facilitate this mode, actions can also be called as
I<action>B<->I<version>. See the installcheck example below.

=head1 SUPPORTED VERSIONS

B<pg_buildext> reads C<debian/pgversions> to decide which PostgreSQL to build
modules/extensions for. This file contains one PostgreSQL version number per
line, in the following formats:

=over 4

=item B<all>

Support all versions. This is recommended unless there are known incompatibilities.

=item I<NN>

Support this version.

=item I<NN>B<+>

Support this and all greater versions.

=item B<#>I<...>

Comment.

=back

For a version to be used, it must also be listed in the output of
C</usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions>. See this file for how to
configure the list of supported versions on your system.

=head1 SOURCE DIRECTORY

If the package source code is not in the top level directory (i.e. the directory
which has C<debian/> as subdirectory), use the I<src-dir> argument, where
I<src-dir> must be an absolute path. Example:

  override_dh_auto_build:
	  +pg_buildext build $(CURDIR)/postgresql-module build-%v
