[PATCH 3/6] kbuild: deb-pkg: set DEB_* variables if debian/rules is directly executed

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Dec 26 2023 - 08:53:27 EST


Since commit 491b146d4c13 ("kbuild: builddeb: Eliminate debian/arch
use"), direct execution of debian/rules results in the following error:

dpkg-architecture: error: unknown option 'DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH'

The current code:

dpkg-architecture -a$DEB_HOST_ARCH -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH

... does not look sensible because:

- For this code to work correctly, DEB_HOST_ARCH must be pre-defined,
which is true when the packages are built via dpkg-buildpackage.
In this case, DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is also likely defined, hence there
is no need to query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in the first place.

- If DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is undefined, DEB_HOST_ARCH is likely undefined
too. So, you cannot query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in this way. This is
mostly the case where debian/rules is directly executed.

When debian/rules is directly executed, querying DEB_HOST_MUCHARCH is
not enough because we need to know DEB_{BUILD,HOST}_GNU_TYPE as well.

All DEB_* variables are defined when the package build is initiated by
dpkg-buildpackage, but otherwise, let's call dpkg-architecture to set
all DEB_* environment variables.

This implementation relies on dpkg commit 7c54fa2b232e
("dpkg-architecture: Add a --print-format option").
