NAME¶

Lintian::Processable::Source::Relation - Lintian interface to source package data collection

SYNOPSIS¶

    my ($name, $type, $dir) = ('foobar', 'source', '/path/to/lab-entry');
    my $collect = Lintian::Processable::Source::Relation->new($name);
    if ($collect->native) {
        print encode_utf8("Package is native\n");
    }

DESCRIPTION¶

Lintian::Processable::Source::Relation provides an interface to package data for source packages. It implements data collection methods specific to source packages.

This module is in its infancy. Most of Lintian still reads all data from files in the laboratory whenever that data is needed and generates that data via collect scripts. The goal is to eventually access all data about source packages via this module so that the module can cache data where appropriate and possibly retire collect scripts in favor of caching that data in memory.

INSTANCE METHODS¶

binary_relation (PACKAGE, FIELD)

Returns a Lintian::Relation object for the specified FIELD in the binary package PACKAGE in the debian/control file. FIELD should be one of the possible relationship fields of a Debian package or one of the following special values:

saved_binary_relations

relation (FIELD)

Returns a Lintian::Relation object for the given build relationship field FIELD. In addition to the normal build relationship fields, the following special field names are supported:

saved_relation

relation_norestriction (FIELD)

The same as "relation (FIELD)", but ignores architecture restrictions and build profile restrictions in the FIELD field.

saved_relations_norestriction
