NAME¶
Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian - represents a Debian changelog entry
DESCRIPTION¶
This object represents a Debian changelog entry. It implements the generic
interface Dpkg::Changelog::Entry. Only functions specific to this
implementation are described below.
FUNCTIONS¶
- my @items = $entry->get_change_items()
- Return a list of change items. Each item contains at least one line. A
change line starting with an asterisk denotes the start of a new item. Any
change line like "[ Raphaël Hertzog ]" is treated like an
item of its own even if it starts a set of items attributed to this person
(the following line necessarily starts a new item).
- my @errors = $entry->check_header()
- my @errors = $entry->check_trailer()
- Return a list of errors. Each item in the list is an error message
describing the problem. If the empty list is returned, no errors have been
found.
- $entry->normalize()
- Normalize the content. Strip whitespaces at end of lines, use a single
empty line to separate each part.
UTILITY FUNCTIONS¶
- my $bool = match_header($line)
- Checks if the line matches a valid changelog header line.
- my $bool = match_trailer($line)
- Checks if the line matches a valid changelog trailing line.
- my @closed_bugs = find_closes($changes)
- Takes one string as argument and finds "Closes: #123456,
#654321" statements as supported by the Debian Archive software in
it. Returns all closed bug numbers in an array.
