Debian::Debget(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Debian::Debget(3pm)NAMEDebian::Debget - helper functions used by debget et alSYNOPSISXXXDESCRIPTIONThese are functions used by debget and related scripts, but you can use them, too. I will do everything possible to retain backwards compatibility for the interfaces documented here. Most of these functions will "die" if they're called in a context (scalar, list) which doesn't match what they expect. This is so that I will be able to change them to return something different in the other context without breaking old code.IMPORTABLESbinary_package_info package This function returns some information about a binary package. If the package isn't found nothing is returned. If it is found, the return value is a data structure like this: $r->{$distribution}{$architecture} = $version; # $distribution => 'stable', 'experimental', etc. # $architecture => 'i386', 'powerpc', etc. If something goes seriously wrong binary_package_info will "die". source_package_info package This function returns some information about a source package. If the package isn't found nothing is returned. If it is found, the return value is a data structure like this: $r->{$distribution} = [$version, @binary_package_list]; # $distribution => 'stable', 'experimental', etc. # $version => '123.4-5', etc. # @binary_package_list => qw(nethack-common nethack-x11), etc. cmp_debian_versions v1, v2 This is like "cmp" for Debian package version numbers. It is prototyped to take 2 scalar arguments, so it can be used as-is as a "sort" comparison function. upstream_version debian-version This returns the upstream version extracted from the given debian-version pool_dir package This returns the pool directory (starting at the "pool/" level) in which files for package are stored. package can be either a binary or source package name.SEE ALSOdebget(1), AptPkg(3pm)AUTHORRoderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org> perl v5.10.0 2008-12-12 Debian::Debget(3pm)
