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.
