Lintian::Processable::Installed – access to collected data about the upstream (orig) sources

Synopsis

    use Lintian::Processable;

    my $processable = Lintian::Processable::Binary->new;

Description

Lintian::Processable::Installed provides an interface to collected data about the upstream (orig) sources.

Instance Methods

installed

Returns a index object representing installed files from a binary package.

index (FILE)

Returns a path object to FILE in the package. FILE must be relative to the root of the unpacked package and must be without leading slash (or “./”). If FILE is not in the package, it returns "undef". If FILE is supposed to be a directory, it must be given with a trailing slash. Example:

  my $file = $info->index ("usr/bin/lintian");

  my $dir = $info->index ("usr/bin/");

To get a list of entries in the package, see “sorted_index”. To actually access the underlying file (e.g. the contents), use “unpacked ([FILE])”.

Note that the “root directory” (denoted by the empty string) will always be present, even if the underlying tarball omits it.

Needs-Info requirements for using index: unpacked

sorted_index

Returns a sorted array of file names listed in the package. The names will not have a leading slash (or “./”) and can be passed to “unpacked ([FILE])” or “index (FILE)” as is.

The array will not contain the entry for the “root” of the package.

index_resolved_path(PATH)

Resolve PATH (relative to the root of the package) and return the entry denoting the resolved path.

The resolution is done using resolve_path.
