Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian(3plibdpkg-Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian(3perl)NAMEDpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian - represents a Debian changelog entry
DESCRIPTION
This object represents a Debian changelog entry. It implements the
generic interface Dpkg::Changelog::Entry. Only functions specific to
this implementation are described below.
METHODS
@items = $entry->get_change_items()
Return a list of change items. Each item contains at least one
line. A change line starting with an asterisk denotes the start of
a new item. Any change line like ""[ Raphaël Hertzog ]"" is
treated like an item of its own even if it starts a set of items
attributed to this person (the following line necessarily starts a
new item).
@errors = $entry->parse_header()
@errors = $entry->parse_trailer()
Return a list of errors. Each item in the list is an error message
describing the problem. If the empty list is returned, no errors
have been found.
$entry->check_header()
Obsolete method. Use parse_header() instead.
$entry->check_trailer()
Obsolete method. Use parse_trailer() instead.
$entry->normalize()
Normalize the content. Strip whitespaces at end of lines, use a
single empty line to separate each part.
$src = $entry->get_source()
Return the name of the source package associated to the changelog
entry.
$ver = $entry->get_version()
Return the version associated to the changelog entry.
@dists = $entry->get_distributions()
Return a list of target distributions for this version.
$fields = $entry->get_optional_fields()
Return a set of optional fields exposed by the changelog entry. It
always returns a Dpkg::Control object (possibly empty though).
$urgency = $entry->get_urgency()
Return the urgency of the associated upload.
$maint = $entry->get_maintainer()
Return the string identifying the person who signed this changelog
entry.
$time = $entry->get_timestamp()
Return the timestamp of the changelog entry.
$time = $entry->get_timepiece()
Return the timestamp of the changelog entry as a Time::Piece
object.
This function might return undef if there was no timestamp.
UTILITY FUNCTIONS

Takes one string as argument and finds "Closes: #123456, #654321"
statements as supported by the Debian Archive software in it.
Returns all closed bug numbers in an array.
