NAME
Lintian::Processable::Installable::Relation - Lintian interface to
binary package data collection
SYNOPSIS
my ($name, $type, $dir) = ('foobar', 'binary', '/path/to/lab-entry');
my $collect = Lintian::Processable::Installable::Relation->new($name);
DESCRIPTION
Lintian::Processable::Installable::Relation provides an interface to
package data for binary packages. It implements data collection
methods specific to binary packages.
This module is in its infancy. Most of Lintian still reads all data
from files in the laboratory whenever that data is needed and generates
that data via collect scripts. The goal is to eventually access all
data about binary packages via this module so that the module can cache
data where appropriate and possibly retire collect scripts in favor of
caching that data in memory.
Native heuristics are only available in source packages.
INSTANCE METHODS
relation (FIELD)
Returns a Lintian::Relation object for the specified FIELD, which
should be one of the possible relationship fields of a Debian
package or one of the following special values:
All The concatenation of Pre-Depends, Depends, Recommends, and
Suggests.
Strong
The concatenation of Pre-Depends and Depends.
Weak
The concatenation of Recommends and Suggests.
If FIELD isn't present in the package, the returned
Lintian::Relation object will be empty (always present and
satisfies nothing).
