NAME¶
AptPkg::Source - APT source package interfaceSYNOPSIS¶
use AptPkg::Source;DESCRIPTION¶
The AptPkg::Source module provides an interface to APT's source package lists.AptPkg::Source¶
The AptPkg::Source package implements the APT pkgSrcRecords class as a hash reference (inherits from AptPkg::hash). The hash is keyed on source or binary package name and the value is an array reference of the details of matching source packages. Note that there is no iterator class, so it is not possible to get a list of all keys (with keys or each). Constructor- new([SOURCELIST])
- Instantiation of the object uses configuration from the $AptPkg::Config::_config object (automatically initialised if not done explicitly). If no SOURCELIST is specified, then the value of Dir::Etc::sourcelist from the configuration object is used (generally /etc/apt/sources.list).
- find(PACK, [SRCONLY])
- In a list context, return a list of source package details for the given PACK, which may either be a source package name, or the name of one of the binaries provided (unless SRCONLY is provided and true). In a scalar context, the source package name of the first entry is returned.
- get, exists
- These methods are used to implement the hashref abstraction: $obj->get($pack) and $obj->{$pack} are equivalent. The get method has the same semantics as find, but returns an array reference in a scalar context.
- Package
- Version
- Maintainer
- Section
- Strings giving the source package name, version, maintainer and section.
- Binaries
- A list of binary package names from the package.
- BuildDepends
- A hash describing the build dependencies of the package. Possible keys are:
"Build-Depends",
"Build-Depends-Indep", "Build-Conflicts",
"Build-Conflicts-Indep".
The values are a list of dependencies/conflicts with each item being a list
containing the package name followed optionally by an operator and version
number.
Operator values evaluate to a comparison string* (>, >=, etc) or one of
the AptPkg::Dep:: constants in a numeric context (see
"pkgCache::Dep::DepCompareOp" in AptPkg(3pm)).
*Note that this is a normalised, rather than Debian-style (>> vs >)
string.
- Files
- A list of files making up the source package, each described by a hash containing the keys:
"MD5Hash", "Size",
"ArchiveURI", "Type".
