NAME

6       Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - parse Debian changelogs
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in
10       deb-changelog(5).
11
12       The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments,
13       CVS comments, vim variables, emacs local variables and stuff from older
14       changelogs with other formats at the end of the file.  NOTE: most of
15       these are ignored silently currently, there is no parser error issued
16       for them. This should become configurable in the future.
17

METHODS

24           success.
