NAME¶

Lintian::Group -- A group of objects that Lintian can process

SYNOPSIS¶

 use Lintian::Group;
 my $group = Lintian::Group->new('lintian_2.5.0_i386.changes');

DESCRIPTION¶

Instances of this perl class are sets of processables. It allows at most one source and one changes or buildinfo package per set, but multiple binary packages (provided that the binary is not already in the set).

METHODS¶

$group->pooldir

Returns or sets the pool directory used by this group.

$group->source_name

$group->source_version

$group->binary

Returns a hash reference to the binary processables in this group.

$group->buildinfo

Returns the buildinfo processable in this group.

$group->changes

Returns the changes processable in this group.

$group->source

Returns the source processable in this group.

$group->udeb

Returns a hash reference to the udeb processables in this group.

jobs

Returns or sets the max number of jobs to be processed in parallel.

If the limit is 0, then there is no limit for the number of parallel jobs.

processing_start

processing_end

cache

Cache for some items.

profile

Hash with active jobs.

"saved_direct_dependencies"

"saved_direct_reliants"

$group->name

Returns a unique identifier for the group based on source and version.

process

Process group.

$group->add_processable($proc)

Adds $proc to $group. At most one source and one changes $proc can be in a $group. There can be multiple binary $proc's, as long as they are all unique. Successive buildinfo $proc's are silently ignored.

This will error out if an additional source or changes $proc is added to the group. Otherwise it will return a truth value if $proc was added.

get_processables

Returns an array of all processables in $group.

get_installables

Returns all binary (and udeb) processables in $group.

If $group does not have any binary processables then an empty list is returned.

direct_dependencies (PROC)

If PROC is a part of the underlying processable group, this method returns a listref containing all the direct dependencies of PROC. If PROC is not a part of the group, this returns undef.

Note: Only strong dependencies (Pre-Depends and Depends) are considered.

Note: Self-dependencies (if any) are not included in the result.

direct_reliants (PROC)

If PROC is a part of the underlying processable group, this method returns a listref containing all the packages in the group that rely on PROC. If PROC is not a part of the group, this returns undef.

Note: Only strong dependencies (Pre-Depends and Depends) are considered.

Note: Self-dependencies (if any) are not included in the result.

spelling_exceptions

Returns a hashref of words, which the spell checker should ignore. These words are generally based on the package names in the group to avoid false-positive "spelling error" when packages have "fun" names.

Example: Package alot-doc (#687464)
