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:
All The concatenation of Pre-Depends, Depends, Recommends, and
Suggests.
Strong
The concatenation of Pre-Depends and Depends.
Weak
The concatenation of Recommends and Suggests.
If FIELD isn't present in the package, the returned
Lintian::Relation object will be empty (present but satisfies
nothing).
Any substvars in debian/control will be represented in the returned
relation as packages named after the substvar.
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:
Build-Depends-All
The concatenation of Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Arch and
Build-Depends-Indep.
Build-Conflicts-All
The concatenation of Build-Conflicts, Build-Conflicts-Arch and
Build-Conflicts-Indep.
If FIELD isn't present in the package, the returned
Lintian::Relation object will be empty (present but satisfies
nothing).
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
