NAME

P5U::Lib::DebianRelease - support library implementing p5u's debian-release command

SYNOPSIS

use P5U::Lib::DebianRelease;
use Path::Tiny qw(path);

my $dr = P5U::Lib::DebianRelease->new(
  cache_file  => path("/tmp/debian.data"),
);

my $author_data = $dr->author_data('tobyink');
foreach my $dist (@$author_data)
{
  print "Dist:   $dist->[0]\n";
  print "CPAN:   $dist->[1]\n";
  print "Debian: $dist->[2]\n\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

This is a support library for the debian-release command.

It's a Moo-based class.

Constructor

new(%attributes)

Creates a new instance of the class.

Attributes

cache_file

A Path::Tiny object representing the location we should download Debian release data to (and cache it). This is required, so provided it to the constructor.

debian

A hashref mapping Debian packages to versions. You presumably don't want to provide this data in the constructor. Let the module handle building it for you!

Methods

author_data($cpanid)

Get a list of the author's distributions which are included in Debian. This is an AoA (array of arrays) structure. The "outer" array is the list. Each "inner" array is three elements long; the first element being the distribution name; the second, the version number of the latest non-dev release on CPAN; and the third, the version number in Debian.

distribution_data($dist)

Returns a similar AoA to author_data, but selected by distribution name rather than author. The "outer" array will only ever contain one "inner" array, so is redundant, but included for consistency.

Unlike author_data, the third element will be the string "(none)" when the distribution does not appear in Debian.

format_report

Given an AoA structure as above, formats it into a single string for printing to a terminal or other output device using a fixed-width font.

author_report($cpanid)

author_data and format_report in a single method call.

distribution_report($dist)

distribution_data and format_report in a single method call.

Function

P5U::Lib::DebianRelease::dist2deb($dist)

Returns the expected Debian package name for a distribution. For example, given "Foo-Bar" will return "libfoo-bar-perl".
