This module provides a configuration editor (and models) for the files of a Debian source package. (i.e. most of the files contained in the debian directory of a source package).

This module can also be used to modify safely the content of these files from a Perl programs.

As mentioned in cme, several user interfaces are available:

  • A graphical interface is proposed by default if Config::Model::TkUI is installed.

  • A Fuse virtual file system with option cme fusefs dpkg -fuse_dir <mountpoint> if Fuse is installed (Linux only)
