Lintian::Collect::Group3

Usage

 my $group = Lintian::ProcessableGroup->new ('lintian_2.5.0_i386.changes');
 my $ginfo = Lintian::Collect::Group->new ($group);
 
 foreach my $bin ($group->get_binary_processables) {
    my $pkg_name = $bin->pkg_name;
    foreach my $dirdep ($ginfo->direct_dependencies ($bin)) {
        print "$pkg_name (pre-)depends on $dirdep (which is also in this group)\n";
    }
 }

Overview

Lintian::Collect::Group is a "group" variant of the Lintian::Collect modules. It attempts to expose a similar interface as these and provide useful information about the processable group (or members of it).

Class methods

Lintian::Collect::Group->new ($group)

Creates a new object to provide information about $group.

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.

$ginfo->type

Return the type of this collect object (which is the string 'group').

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)
