Debian::WNPP::Query - offline storage of Debian's work-needing package lists
Contents
Constructor
new is the constructor. Initial field values are to be given as a hash reference.
If cache_file is given, it is read.
Description
Debian::WNPP::Query provides a way to retrieve and cache the contents of Debian's "Work-needing and
prospective packages" lists.
Fields
cache_file path
The path to the file holding the offline cache of the WNPP lists. If not specified, no cache is read
or written.
ttl seconds
The time after which the on-disk cache is considered too old and WNPP pages are retrieved afresh.
Ignored if cache_file is not defined. Defaults to 86400 (1 day).
bug_types arrayref
Specified which bug types to retrieve. For example, if you are interested in ITP and RFP bugs, there
is no point in downloading, parsing and storing ITA/RFA/O bugs. By default all types of bugs are
processed.
Methods
bugs_for_package(package)
Returns a list of bugs matching the given package name. Normally the list would contain only one bug,
but there are no guarantees.
