NAME

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

DESCRIPTION

9       This class represents a Debian changelog file as an array of changelog
10       entries (Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian).  It implements the generic
11       interface Dpkg::Changelog.  Only methods specific to this
12       implementation are described below, the rest are inherited.
13
14       Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in
15       deb-changelog(5).
16
17       The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments,
18       RCS keywords, Vim modelines, Emacs local variables and stuff from older
19       changelogs with other formats at the end of the file.  NOTE: most of
20       these are ignored silently currently, there is no parser error issued
21       for them. This should become configurable in the future.
22

METHODS

24       $count = $c->parse($fh, $description)
25           Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it, to store
26           the entries as an array of Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian objects.
27           Any previous entries in the object are reset before parsing new
28           data.
29
30           Returns the number of changelog entries that have been parsed with
31           success.
