NAME¶
Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - parse Debian changelogs
DESCRIPTION¶
Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in the Debian
policy (version 3.6.2.1 at the time of this writing). See section "SEE
ALSO" for locations where to find this definition.
The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments, CVS
comments, vim variables, emacs local variables and stuff from older changelogs
with other formats at the end of the file. NOTE: most of these are ignored
silently currently, there is no parser error issued for them. This should
become configurable in the future.
METHODS¶
- $c->parse($fh, $description)
- Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it. Returns the number
of changelog entries that have been parsed with success.
