Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian(3)libdpkg-perlDpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian(3)NAMEDpkg::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.
