NAME

Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - parse Debian changelogs

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a Debian changelog file as an array of changelog entries (Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian). It implements the generic interface Dpkg::Changelog. Only methods specific to this implementation are described below, the rest are inherited.

Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in deb-changelog(5).

The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments, RCS keywords, Vim modelines, Emacs local variables and stuff from older changelogs with other formats at the end of the file. NOTE: most of these are ignored silently currently, there is no parser error issued for them. This should become configurable in the future.

METHODS

$count = $c->parse($fh, $description)

Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it, to store the entries as an array of Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian objects. Any previous entries in the object are reset before parsing new data.

Returns the number of changelog entries that have been parsed with success.
