NAME¶
Debian::Dependencies - a list of Debian::Dependency objects
SYNOPSIS¶
my $dl = Debian::Dependencies->new('perl, libfoo-perl (>= 3.4)');
print $dl->[1]->ver; # 3.4
print $dl->[1]; # libfoo-perl (>= 3.4)
print $dl; # perl, libfoo-perl (>= 3.4)
$dl += 'libbar-perl';
print $dl; # perl, libfoo-perl (>= 3.4), libbar-perl
print Debian::Dependencies->new('perl') + 'libfoo-bar-perl';
# simple 'sum'
print Debian::Dependencies->new('perl')
+ Debian::Dependencies->new('libfoo, libbar');
# add (concatenate) two lists
print Debian::Dependencies->new('perl')
+ Debian::Dependency->new('foo');
# add dependency to a list
DESCRIPTION¶
Debian::Dependencies a list of Debian::Dependency objects, with automatic
construction and stringification.
Objects of this class are blessed array references. You can safely treat them as
arrayrefs, as long as the elements you put in them are instances of the
Debian::Dependency class.
When used in string context, Debian::Dependencies converts itself into a
comma-delimited list of dependencies, suitable for dependency fields of
debian/control files.
CLASS METHODS¶
- new(dependency-string)
- Constructs a new Debian::Dependencies object. Accepts one scalar argument,
which is parsed and turned into an arrayref of Debian::Dependency objects.
Each dependency should be delimited by a comma and optional space. The
exact regular expression is "/\s*,\s*/".
OBJECT METHODS¶
- add( dependency[, ... ] )
- Adds dependency (or a list of) to the list of dependencies. If the
new dependency is a subset of or overlaps some of the old dependencies, it
is not duplicated.
my $d = Debian::Dependencies('foo, bar (<=4)');
$d->add('foo (>= 4), bar');
print "$d"; # foo (>= 4), bar (>= 4)
dependency can be either a Debian::Dependency object, a
Debian::Deendencies object, or a string (in which case it is converted to
an instance of the Debian::Dependencies class).
- remove( dependency, ... ) =item remove( dependencies, ...
)
- Removes a dependency from the list of dependencies. Instances of
Debian::Dependency and Debian::Dependencies classes are supported as
arguments.
Any non-reference arguments are coerced to instances of Debian::Dependencies
class.
Only dependencies that are subset of the given dependencies are removed:
my $deps = Debian::Dependencies->new('foo (>= 1.2), bar');
$deps->remove('foo, bar (>= 2.0)');
print $deps; # bar
Returns the list of the dependencies removed.
- has( dep )
- Return true if the dependency list contains given dependency. In other
words, this returns true if the list of dependencies guarantees that the
given dependency will be satisfied. For example, "foo, bar"
satisfies "foo", but not "foo (>= 5)".
- prune()
- This method is deprecated. If you want to sort the dependency list, either
call "sort" or use normal perl sorting stuff on the dereferenced
array.
- sort()
- Sorts the dependency list by package name, version and relation.
