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.
VARIABLES
$regex_header, $regex_trailer are two regular expressions that can be used
to match a line and know whether it's a valid header/trailer line.
The matched content for $regex_header is the source package name ($1), the
version ($2), the target distributions ($3) and the options on the rest
of the line ($4). For $regex_trailer, it's the maintainer name ($1), its
email ($2), some blanks ($3) and the timestamp ($4).
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.
$entry->normalize()
Normalize the content. Strip whitespaces at end of lines, use a single
empty line to separate each part.
UTILITY FUNCTIONS
my @closed_bugs = find_closes($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.
