It creates an object of the appropriate type and provides common functions used by the collection interface to all types of package. 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 via this module and its subclasses so that the module can cache data where appropriate and possibly retire collect scripts in favor of caching that data in memory. =head1 CLASS METHODS =over 4 =item new(PACKAGE, TYPE) Creates a new object appropriate to the package type. TYPE can be retrieved later with the type() method. Returns undef an unknown TYPE. PACKAGE is the name of the package and is stored in the collect object. It can be retrieved with the name() method. =back =head1 INSTANCE METHODS In addition to the instance methods documented here, see the documentation of Lintian::Collect::Source, Lintian::Collect::Binary and Lintian::Collect::Changes for instance methods specific to source and binary / udeb packages and .changes files. =over 4 =item field([FIELD]) If FIELD is given, this method returns the value of the control field FIELD in the control file for the package. For a source package, this is the *.dsc file; for a binary package, this is the control file in the control section of the package. Otherwise this will return a hash of fields, where the key is the field name (in all lowercase). Note: For binary and udeb packages, this method will create the "source"-field if it does not exist (using the value of the "package"-field as described in ยง5.6.1 of the Debian Policy Manual). Some checks rely on the presence "source"-field to whitelist some packages, so removing this behaviour may cause regressions (see bug 640186 for an example). =item name() Returns the name of the package. =item type() Returns the type of the package. =item base_dir() Returns the base_dir where all the package information is stored. =back =head1 AUTHOR Originally written by Russ Allbery for Lintian. =head1 SEE ALSO lintian(1), Lintian::Collect::Binary(3), Lintian::Collect::Changes(3), Lintian::Collect::Source(3) =cut 1; # Local Variables: # indent-tabs-mode: nil # cperl-indent-level: 4 # End: # vim: syntax=perl sw=4 sts=4 sr et
