Lintian::Group(3)

NAME
Lintian::Group -- A group of objects that Lintian can process

SYNOPSIS
 use Lintian::Group;

 my $group = Lintian::Group->new('lintian_2.5.0_i386.changes');

DESCRIPTION
Instances of this perl class are sets of processables. It allows at most one source and one changes or buildinfo package per set, but multiple binary packages (provided that the binary is not already in the set).

METHODS

$group->pooldir
    Returns or sets the pool directory used by this group.

$group->source_name
$group->source_version
$group->binary
    Returns a hash reference to the binary processables in this group.

$group->buildinfo
    Returns the buildinfo processable in this group.

$group->changes
    Returns the changes processable in this group.

$group->source
    Returns the source processable in this group.

$group->udeb
    Returns a hash reference to the udeb processables in this group.

jobs
    Returns or sets the max number of jobs to be processed in parallel.

    If the limit is 0, then there is no limit for the number of parallel jobs.

processing_start
processing_end
cache
    Cache for some items.

profile
    Hash with active jobs.

"saved_direct_dependencies"
"saved_direct_reliants"
$group->name
    Returns a unique identifier for the group based on source and version.

process
    Process group.

$group->add_processable($proc)
    Adds $proc to $group. At most one source and one changes $proc can be in a $group. There can be multiple binary $proc's, as long as they are all unique. Successive buildinfo $proc's are silently ignored.

    This will error out if an additional source or changes $proc is added to the group. Otherwise it will return a truth value if $proc was added.

get_processables
    Returns an array of all processables in $group.

get_installables
    Returns all binary (and udeb) processables in $group.

    If $group does not have any binary processables then an empty list is returned.

direct_dependencies (PROC)
    If PROC is a part of the underlying processable group, this method returns a listref containing all the direct dependencies of PROC. If PROC is not a part of the group, this returns undef.

    Note: Only strong dependencies (Pre-Depends and Depends) are considered.

    Note: Self-dependencies (if any) are not included in the result.

direct_reliants (PROC)
    If PROC is a part of the underlying processable group, this method returns a listref containing all the packages in the group that rely on PROC. If PROC is not a part of the group, this returns undef.

    Note: Only strong dependencies (Pre-Depends and Depends) are considered.

    Note: Self-dependencies (if any) are not included in the result.

spelling_exceptions
    Returns a hashref of words, which the spell checker should ignore. These words are generally based on the package names in the group to avoid false-positive "spelling error" when packages have "fun" names.

    Example: Package alot-doc (#687464)
