NAME

       Dpkg::Vendor::Default - default vendor object

DESCRIPTION

       A vendor object is used to provide vendor specific behaviour in various places. This is the default object used in case there's none for
       the current vendor or in case the vendor could not be identified (see Dpkg::Vendor documentation).

       It provides some hooks that are called by various dpkg-* tools.	If you need a new hook, please file a bug against dpkg-dev and explain
       your need. Note that the hook API has no guaranty to be stable over an extended period. If you run an important distribution that makes use
       of vendor hooks, you'd better submit them for integration so that we avoid breaking your code.

FUNCTIONS

       $vendor_obj = Dpkg::Vendor::Default->new()
	   Creates the default vendor object. Can be inherited by all vendor objects if they don't need any specific initialization at object
	   creation time.

       $vendor_obj->run_hook($id, @params)
	   Run the corresponding hook. The parameters are hook-specific. The supported hooks are:

	   before-source-build ($srcpkg)
		   The first parameter is a Dpkg::Source::Package object. The hook is called just before the execution of $srcpkg->build().

	   keyrings ()
		   The hook is called when dpkg-source is checking a signature on a source package. It takes no parameters, but returns a
		   (possibly empty) list of vendor-specific keyrings.

	   register-custom-fields ()
		   The hook is called in Dpkg::Control::Fields to register custom fields.  You should return a list of arrays. Each array is an
		   operation to perform.  The first item is the name of the operation and corresponds to a field_* function provided by
		   Dpkg::Control::Fields. The remaining fields are the parameters that are passed unchanged to the corresponding function.

		   Known operations are "register", "insert_after" and "insert_before".

	   post-process-changelog-entry ($fields)
		   The hook is called in Dpkg::Changelog to post-process a Dpkg::Changelog::Entry after it has been created and filled with the
		   appropriate values.

	   update-buildflags ($flags)
		   The hook is called in Dpkg::BuildFlags to allow the vendor to override the default values set for the various build flags.
		   $flags is a Dpkg::BuildFlags object.

NAME

       Dpkg::Control - parse and manipulate official control-like information

DESCRIPTION

       The Dpkg::Control object is a smart version of Dpkg::Control::Hash.  It associates a type to the control information. That type can be used
       to know what fields are allowed and in what order they must be output.

       The types are constants that are exported by default. Here's the full list:

       CTRL_UNKNOWN
	   This type is the default type, it indicates that the type of control information is not yet known.

       CTRL_INFO_SRC
	   Corresponds to the first block of information in a debian/control file in a Debian source package.

       CTRL_INFO_PKG
	   Corresponds to subsequent blocks of information in a debian/control file in a Debian source package.

       CTRL_INDEX_SRC
	   Corresponds to an entry in a Sources file of an APT source package repository.

       CTRL_INDEX_PKG
	   Corresponds to an entry in a Packages file of an APT binary package repository.

       CTRL_PKG_SRC
	   Corresponds to a .dsc file of a Debian source package.

       CTRL_PKG_DEB
	   Corresponds to the control file generated by dpkg-gencontrol (DEBIAN/control) and to the same file inside .deb packages.

       CTRL_FILE_CHANGES
	   Corresponds to a .changes file.

       CTRL_FILE_VENDOR
	   Corresponds to a vendor file in /etc/dpkg/origins/.

       CTRL_FILE_STATUS
	   Corresponds to an entry in dpkg's status file (/var/lib/dpkg/status).

       CTRL_CHANGELOG
	   Corresponds to the output of dpkg-parsechangelog.

FUNCTIONS

       All the methods of Dpkg::Control::Hash are available. Those listed below are either new or overridden with a different behaviour.

       my $c = Dpkg::Control->new(%opts)
	   If the "type" option is given, it's used to setup default values for other options. See set_options() for more details.

       $c->set_options(%opts)
	   Changes the value of one or more options. If the "type" option is changed, it is used first to define default values for others
	   options. The option "allow_pgp" is set to 1 for CTRL_PKG_SRC and CTRL_FILE_CHANGES and to 0 otherwise. The option "drop_empty" is set
	   to 0 for CTRL_INFO_PKG and CTRL_INFO_SRC and to 1 otherwise. The option "name" is set to a textual description of the type of control
	   information.

	   The output order is also set to match the ordered list returned by Dpkg::Control::Fields::field_ordered_list($type).

       $c->get_type()
	   Returns the type of control information stored. See the type parameter set during new().
