NAME¶
Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary - binary stanza of Debian source package control
file
SYNOPSIS¶
my $src = Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary->new(\%data);
print $src; # auto-stringification
print $src->Depends; # Debian::Dependencies object
DESCRIPTION¶
Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary can be used for representation and manipulation
of "Package:" stanza of Debian source package control files in an
object-oriented way. Converts itself to a textual representation in string
context.
FIELDS¶
The supported fields for binary stanzas are listed below. For more information
about each field's meaning, consult the section named "Source package
control files -- debian/control" of the Debian Policy Manual at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
<
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/>
Note that real control fields may contain dashes in their names. These are
replaced with underscores.
- Package
- Architecture
- Section
- Priority
- Essential
- Depends
- Recommends
- Suggests
- Enhances
- Replaces
- Pre_Depends
- Conflicts
- Breaks
- Provides
- Description
"Depends", "Conflicts" "Breaks",
"Recommends", "Suggests", "Enhances",
"Replaces", and "Pre_Depends" fields are converted to
objects of Debian::Dependencies class upon construction.
Two more accessor methods are provided for easier handling of package's short
and long description.
- short_description
- long_description
Setting them transparently modifies
Description. Note that the value of
long_description is "unmangled", that is without leading
spaces, and empty lines are empty.
Description on the other hand is
just as it looks in a regular debian/control file - the long part is indented
with a single space and empty lines are replaced with dots.
CONSTRUCTOR¶
- new
- new( { field => value, ... } )
- Creates a new Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary object and
optionally initializes it with the supplied data.
SEE ALSO¶
Debian::Control::Stanza::Source inherits most of its functionality from
Debian::Control::Stanza
