NAME
Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - parse Debian changelogs
DESCRIPTION
This class represents a Debian changelog file as an array of changelog
entries (Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian). It implements the generic
interface Dpkg::Changelog. Only methods specific to this
implementation are described below, the rest are inherited.
Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in
deb-changelog(5).
The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments,
RCS keywords, Vim modelines, Emacs local variables and stuff from older
changelogs with other formats at the end of the file. NOTE: most of
these are ignored silently currently, there is no parser error issued
for them. This should become configurable in the future.
METHODS
$count = $c->parse($fh, $description)
Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it, to store
the entries as an array of Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian objects.
Any previous entries in the object are reset before parsing new
data.
Returns the number of changelog entries that have been parsed with
success.
