NAME¶

Lintian::Relation::Predicate - Lintian type for relationship predicates

SYNOPSIS¶

    use Lintian::Relation::Predicate;

DESCRIPTION¶

This module provides functions for parsing and evaluating package relationships such as Depends and Recommends for binary packages and Build-Depends for source packages. It parses a relationship into an internal format and can then answer questions such as "does this dependency require that a given package be installed" or "is this relationship a superset of another relationship."
