Lintian::Processable -- An (abstract) object that Lintian can
process
use Lintian::Processable;
# Instantiate via Lintian::Processable
my $proc = Lintian::Processable->new;
$proc->init_from_file('lintian_2.5.0_all.deb');
my $package = $proc->pkg_name;
my $version = $proc->pkg_version;
# etc.
Instances of this perl class are objects that Lintian can process
(e.g. deb files). Multiple objects can then be combined into groups, which
Lintian will process together.
- name
- Returns the name of the package.
- type
- Returns the type of package (e.g. binary, source, udeb ...)
- $proc->version
- Returns the version of the package.
- $proc->path
- Returns the path to the packaged version of actual package. This path is
used in case the data needs to be extracted from the package.
- $proc->architecture
- Returns the architecture(s) of the package. May return multiple values
from changes processables. For source processables it is
"source".
- $proc->source
- Returns the name of the source package.
- $proc->source_version
- Returns the version of the source package.
- $proc->tainted
- Returns a truth value if one or more fields in this Processable is
tainted. On a best effort basis tainted fields will be sanitized to less
dangerous (but possibly invalid) values.
- fields
- Lintian::Deb822::Section with primary field values.
- $proc->pooldir
- Returns a reference to lab this Processable is in.
- $proc->basedir
- Returns the base directory of this package inside the lab.
- "identifier"
- Produces an identifier for this processable. The identifier is based on
the type, name, version and architecture of the package.
- remove
- Removes all unpacked parts of the package in the lab. Returns a truth
value if successful.
- get_group_id
- Calculates an appropriate group id for the package. It is based on the
name and the version of the src-pkg.
- clean_field
- Cleans a field of evil characters to prevent traversal or worse.
- guess_name
- unfolded_field
(FIELD)
- This method returns the unfolded 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.
If FIELD is passed but not present, then this method returns
undef.
