MakeSourcePackageUpload

MakeSourcePackageUpload task

This worker task makes a debian:upload artifact from a debian:source-package artifact. This involves unpacking the source package and running dpkg-genchanges on it.

The task_data for this task may contain the following keys:

  • input (required): a dictionary describing the input data:

  • since_version (string, optional): include changelog information from all versions strictly later than this version in the .changes file; the default is to include only the topmost changelog entry

  • target_distribution (string, optional): override the target Distribution field in the .changes file to this value; the default is to use the distribution from the topmost changelog entry

  • environment (Single lookup with default category debian:environments, required): debian:system-tarball artifact that will be used to run dpkg-source and dpkg-genchanges using the unshare backend. dpkg-dev will be installed there if necessary.

The task computes dynamic metadata as:

  • subject: source package name of input.source_artifact

  • parameter_summary: source package name and version

The output is a debian:upload artifact, with extends and relates-to relationships to the input source package artifact (to match the behaviour of debusine import-debian-artifact).

Used by the package_upload workflow.
