Lintian::Group -- A group of objects that Lintian can process
use Lintian::Group;
my $group = Lintian::Group->new('lintian_2.5.0_i386.changes');
Instances of this perl class are sets of processables. It allows
at most one source and one changes or buildinfo package per set, but
multiple binary packages (provided that the binary is not already in the
set).
- $group->pooldir
- Returns or sets the pool directory used by this group.
- $group->source_name
- $group->source_version
- $group->binary
- Returns a hash reference to the binary processables in this group.
- $group->buildinfo
- Returns the buildinfo processable in this group.
- $group->changes
- Returns the changes processable in this group.
- $group->source
- Returns the source processable in this group.
- $group->udeb
- Returns a hash reference to the udeb processables in this group.
- jobs
- Returns or sets the max number of jobs to be processed in parallel.
If the limit is 0, then there is no limit for the number of
parallel jobs.
- processing_start
- processing_end
- cache
- Cache for some items.
- profile
- Hash with active jobs.
- "saved_direct_dependencies"
- "saved_direct_reliants"
- $group->name
- Returns a unique identifier for the group based on source and
version.
- process
- Process group.
- $group->add_processable($proc)
- Adds $proc to $group. At
most one source and one changes $proc can be in a
$group. There can be multiple binary
$proc's, as long as they are all unique.
Successive buildinfo $proc's are silently ignored.
This will error out if an additional source or changes
$proc is added to the group. Otherwise it will
return a truth value if $proc was added.
- get_processables
- Returns an array of all processables in
$group.
- get_installables
- Returns all binary (and udeb) processables in
$group.
If $group does not have any binary
processables then an empty list is returned.
- direct_dependencies
(PROC)
- If PROC is a part of the underlying processable group, this method returns
a listref containing all the direct dependencies of PROC. If PROC is not a
part of the group, this returns undef.
Note: Only strong dependencies (Pre-Depends and Depends) are
considered.
Note: Self-dependencies (if any) are not included in
the result.
- direct_reliants
(PROC)
- If PROC is a part of the underlying processable group, this method returns
a listref containing all the packages in the group that rely on PROC. If
PROC is not a part of the group, this returns undef.
Note: Only strong dependencies (Pre-Depends and Depends) are
considered.
Note: Self-dependencies (if any) are not included in
the result.
- spelling_exceptions
- Returns a hashref of words, which the spell checker should ignore. These
words are generally based on the package names in the group to avoid
false-positive "spelling error" when packages have
"fun" names.
Example: Package alot-doc (#687464)
