This is a proof of concept rather than an ideal, final situation.
It can be used this way:
for v in 1 2 3 4 ; do
for s in buster bullseye; do
./generate-recipe.py $v $s
done
done
and it has been verified to produce very similar results compared to the
existing many-sed approach.
Differences are as follows:
- Missing newline after some backports stanza, due to the removal of
the other APT line. There's already MR#51 that aims at fixing some
newline-related issues anyway, so this can be addressed separately.
- Less schizophrenia in the generated sources.list for buster/4, as we
are now only showing a reason for enabling the backports, instead
of starting by explaining why backports are disabled by default.
- Dropping APT::Default-Release = buster in the buster/4 case, which
is no longer needed as we are pulling things from buster-backports
rather than pulling them from unstable (see 57e90df103).
- No longer trying to fix the firmware package name by throwing a
broken sed at rpi-reconfigure-raspi-firmware.service in the buster/4
case: the syntax was buggy and fixing it would have made us try to
replace raspi-firmware with raspi-firmware/buster-backports, while
the correct thing to do is to not touch it in the first place
(raspi-firmware is the correct name for the firmware package, pulled
from buster-backports).
As a side effect, this transforms the existing __EXTRA_SHELL_CMDS__ into
a slightly more explicit __EXTRA_ROOT_SHELL_CMDS__ which now has its
__EXTRA_CHROOT_SHELL_CMDS__ twin. That's the entry point that was
missing and made 45cb5619d4 necessary in the past.
