Lintian::Processable -- An (abstract) object that Lintian can process

Originally written by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> for Lintian. Substantial portions written by Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org> for Lintian.

Instances of this perl class are objects that Lintian can process (e.g. deb files). Multiple objects can then be combined into groups, which Lintian will process together.

name Returns the name of the package. type Returns the type of package (e.g. binary, source, udeb ...) hints $proc->version Returns the version of the package. $proc->path Returns the path to the packaged version of actual package. This path is used in case the data needs to be extracted from the package. basename Returns the basename of the package path. $proc->architecture Returns the architecture(s) of the package. May return multiple values from changes processables. For source processables it is "source". $proc->source_name Returns the name of the source package. $proc->source_version Returns the version of the source package. $proc->tainted Returns a truth value if one or more fields in this Processable is tainted. On a best effort basis tainted fields will be sanitized to less dangerous (but possibly invalid) values. fields Lintian::Deb822::Section with primary field values. $proc->pooldir Returns a reference to lab this Processable is in. $proc->basedir Returns the base directory of this package inside the lab. "identifier" Produces an identifier for this processable. The identifier is based on the type, name, version and architecture of the package. clean_field Cleans a field of evil characters to prevent traversal or worse. guess_name
