SYNOPSIS

     my $c = Debian::Control->new();         # construct a new
     $c->read($file);                        # parse debian/control file
     $c->write($file);                       # write to file
     print $c->source->Source;
     print $c->source->Build_Depends;        # Debian::Dependencies object
     $c->binary->{'libfoo-perl'}->Description(
         "Foo Perl module\n" .
         " Foo makes this and that"
     );
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Debian::Control can be used for representation and manipulation of Debian source package control files in an object-oriented way. It provides easy reading and writing of the debian/control file found in Debian source packages.

FIELDS

source
An instance of Debian::Control::Stanza::Source class. Contains the source stanza of the Debian source package control file.
binary
A hash reference (actually Tie::IxHash instance) with keys being binary package names and values instances of Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary class. Contains the information of the binary package stanzas of Debian source package control file.

CONSTRUCTOR

new
Constructs a new Debian::Control instance.

The "source" field is initialized with an empty instance of Debian::Control::Stanza::Source and "binary" field is initialized with an empty instance of Tie::IxHash.

METHODS

read file
Parse ``control'' in debian and populate "source" and "binary" accessors.

file can be either a file name, an opened file handle or a string scalar reference.

write file
Writes a debian/control-like file in file with the contents defined in the "source" and "binary" fields.

file can be either a file name, an opened file handle or a string scalar reference.

All dependency lists are sorted before writing.

is_arch_dep
Returns true if the package is architecture-dependent. This is determined by the "Architecture" field of the first binary package. If it equals to "all", then the package is architecture-independent; otherwise it is architecture-dependent.

Returns undef if it is not possible to determine whether the package is architecture-dependent or not. This is the case when there are no binary package stanzas present or the first has no "Archiitecture" field.
