dh_gconf

[Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>]

Hi,

Attached is my first debhelper tool, dh_gconf. It appears to work for
me, and if no-one objects or finds serious issues, I'll ask for it to be
included in the gconf2 package.

To use it, simply call dh_gconf somewhere after 'make install'.  If you
don't want to drop the postinst-gconf file into
/usr/share/debhelper/autoscripts, you can set DH_AUTOSCRIPTDIR.  The
script will find any installed gconf schemas, and generate the relevant
postinst script.

Debhelper rocks.

Regards,
Ross

=head1 NAME

dh_gconf - generate GConf schema registration scripts

=cut

use strict;
use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib;

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<dh_gconf> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-p<package>>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

dh_gconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for correctly
registering GConf schemas.

It automatically generates the postinst script to call gconftool, and
register the schemas which have been installed into
/etc/gconf/schemas.

To use this script, call it in the relevant binary-% target in
debian/rules, and add $(misc:Depends) to your Depends so your packages
require the correct GConf tools.

=cut

# Get the debhelper init groove going.
init();

foreach my $package (@{$dh{DOPACKAGES}}) {
  my $tmp=tmpdir($package);

  # Only run if there have been GConf schemas installed
  if (-d "$tmp/etc/gconf/schemas") {
    # Get a list of the schemas
    my $schemas = `find debian/$package/etc/gconf/schemas -type f -printf '%P '`;
    # If there were some schemas...
    if ($schemas ne '') {
      # Add the postinst script to register the schemas
      autoscript($package,"postinst","postinst-gconf","s%#SCHEMAS#%$schemas%");

      # Add the prerm script to unregister the schemas
      # TODO: gconftool-2 needs work for this :(

      # To run the postinst script we need gconftool-2
      addsubstvar($package, "misc:Depends", "gconf2");
    } else {
      # If it turns out there were not any schemas installed, warn
      error("No schemas were present but the schema folder exists. Looks like 'make install' didn't work correctly.");
    }
  } else {
    # dh_gconf is being called but no gconf schemas were installed
    error("The directory /etc/gconf/schemas was not present. Does this package supply GConf schemas?");
  }
}
