NAME

       Dpkg::Source::Package - manipulate Debian source packages

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides an object that can manipulate Debian source packages. While it supports both the
       extraction and the creation of source packages, the only API that is officially supported is the one that
       supports the extraction of the source package.

FUNCTIONS

       $string = get_default_diff_ignore_regex()
           Returns the default diff ignore regex.

       set_default_diff_ignore_regex($string)
           Set a regex as the new default diff ignore regex.

       @array = get_default_tar_ignore_pattern()
           Returns the default tar ignore pattern, as an array.

METHODS

       $p = Dpkg::Source::Package->new(filename => $dscfile, options => {})
           Creates a new object corresponding to the source package described by the file $dscfile.

           The options hash supports the following options:

           skip_debianization
                   If set to 1, do not apply Debian changes on the extracted source package.

           skip_patches
                   If  set  to  1,  do  not  apply  Debian-specific patches. This options is specific for source
                   packages using format "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)".

           require_valid_signature
                   If set to 1, the check_signature() method  will  be  stricter  and  will  error  out  if  the
                   signature can't be verified.

           require_strong_checksums
                   If  set to 1, the check_checksums() method will be stricter and will error out if there is no
                   strong checksum.

           copy_orig_tarballs
                   If set to 1, the extraction will copy the upstream tarballs next the target  directory.  This
                   is useful if you want to be able to rebuild the source package after its extraction.

       $p->get_filename()
           Returns the filename of the DSC file.

       $p->get_files()
           Returns  the  list  of  files referenced by the source package. The filenames usually do not have any
           path information.

       $p->check_checksums()
           Verify the checksums embedded in  the  DSC  file.  It  requires  the  presence  of  the  other  files
           constituting  the  source  package. If any inconsistency is discovered, it immediately errors out. It
           will make sure at least one strong checksum is present.

           If the object has been created with the "require_strong_checksums"  option,  then  any  problem  will
           result in a fatal error.

       $bool = $p->is_signed()
           Returns 1 if the DSC files contains an embedded OpenPGP signature.  Otherwise returns 0.

       $p->check_signature()
           Implement  the  same OpenPGP signature check that dpkg-source does.  In case of problems, it prints a
           warning or errors out.

           If the object has been created with the  "require_valid_signature"  option,  then  any  problem  will
           result in a fatal error.

       $p->extract($targetdir)
           Extracts  the  source  package  in the target directory $targetdir. Beware that if $targetdir already
           exists, it will be erased (as long as the no_overwrite_dir option is set).
