Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian(3)                                 libdpkg-perl

NAME
       Dpkg::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 "[ Raphael 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->check_header()
       @errors = $entry->check_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->normalize()
           Normalize the content. Strip whitespaces at end of lines, use a
           single empty line to separate each part.

UTILITY FUNCTIONS
       $bool = match_header($line)
           Checks if the line matches a valid changelog header line.

       $bool = match_trailer($line)
           Checks if the line matches a valid changelog trailing line.

       @closed_bugs = find_closes($changes)
           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.
