Hyprland for debian

Here we have a number of scripts to build the dependencies for hyprland tiling wayland compositor.

Our goal is to have a 'debian' way to build these packages using gitbuildpackage to update from upstream, apply patches in a patch queue branch and output debian packages which can be added to the gitea package repo using the automate/utils helper scripts.

NB. We have a working example from salsa in /space/code_repositories/hyprland/ that successfully built the 0.36 and upgraded to 0.39.1 using these watch files which were missing from the salsa hyperland and hyperlang repos:

conf_print_debian-watch_hyprland() {
cat <<-'EOF'
  version=4

  opts=filenamemangle=s/.+\/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz/hyprland-$1\.tar\.gz/ \
    https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland/tags .*/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz
EOF
}
# conf_print_debian-watch_hyprland | sudo tee debian/watch

This is now included in the salsa hyperlang repo:

conf_print_debian-watch_hyprlang() {
cat <<-'EOF' | tee debian/watch
  version=4

  opts=filenamemangle=s/.+\/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz/hyprlang-$1\.tar\.gz/ \
    https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprlang/tags .*/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz
EOF
}
# conf_print_debian-watch_hyprlang | sudo tee debian/watch

From phind:

version=4
opts="searchmode=html, filenamemangle=s/.+\/v?(\d+\.\d+)\.tar\.gz/hyprland-protocols-$1.tar.gz/"
https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-protocols/tags .*/v?(\d+\.\d+)\.tar\.gz

From salsa repo:

version=4
opts="searchmode=html" \
  https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-protocols/tags \
  https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-protocols/archive/refs/tags/v(\d+)\.(\d+).tar\.gz

This did not work for 0.4.0 or 0.4.1

resulting packages

the hyprland build provides:

• hyprland
• hyprland-common
• hyprland-completitions (locally added)
• hyprland-dev

the hyperlang build provides:

• hyprlang
• libhyprlang-dev
• libhyprlang2

conf_print_debian-watch_hyprland | sudo tee debian/watch
uscan --no-download --verbose
uscan
while dquilt push; do dquilt refresh; done
dch

UPSTREAM_VERSION="0.3.0"
LOCAL_VERSION="1"
gbp import-orig --uscan
gbp pqapply
gbp dch -N ${UPSTREAM_VERSION}-${LOCAL_VERSION} -R
git add .
git commit -m "Update debian/changelog for version ${UPSTREAM_VERSION)-${LOCAL_VERSION}"

build sequence for build from git

NB these scripts only build a debianized upstream git packages, better to fix the salsa packages.
