SYNOPSIS
use Lintian::CollScript;
my $cs = Lintian::CollScript->new ("$ENV{'LINTIAN_ROOT'}/collection/index.desc");
my $name = $cs->name;
foreach my $needs ($cs->needs_info) {

}
DESCRIPTION
Instances of this class represents the data in the collection ``.desc'' files. It allows access to the common meta data of the collection (such as Needs-Info).CLASS METHODS
- new (FILE)
- Parse FILE as a collection desc file.
INSTANCE METHODS
- name
- Returns the ``name'' of the collection script. This is the value in the Collector-Script field in the file.
- type
- Returns the value stored in the ``Type'' field of the file. For the purpose of testing if the collection applies to a given package type, the ``is_type'' method can be used instead.
- version
- Returns the value of the ``Version'' field of the file. This should be an integer describing the version of the collector script.
- auto_remove
- Returns a truth value if the collection has the ``auto-remove'' flag.
- script_path
- Returns the absolute path to the collection script.
- interface
-
The call interface for this collection script.
-
- exec
-
The collection is run by invoking the script denoted by script_path
with the proper arguments.
This is the default value.
- perl-coll
-
The collection is implemented in Perl in such a way that it can be
loaded into perl and run via the ``collect (PKG, TASK, DIR)'' method.
Collections that have the ``perl-coll'' can also be run as if they had the ``exec'' interface (see above).
-
- needs_info ([COND])
-
Returns a list of all items listed in the Needs-Info field. Neither
the list nor its contents should be modified.
COND is optional and used to determine what conditions are true. If omitted, all ``extra'' dependencies are returned. Otherwise, only the dependencies required by COND are included. COND is a hashref and with the following key/values:
-
- type
- The value is a package type that determines which package type is being unpacked. This is used to determine if the condition for ``<dep> [<type>]'' relations are true or not.
-
- is_type (TYPE)
- Returns a truth value if this collection can be applied to a TYPE package.
- collect (PKG, TASK, DIR)
