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(%opts, options => {})
           Creates  a new object corresponding to a source package. When the key filename is set to a .dsc file,
           it will be used to initialize the source package with its description. Otherwise if the format key is
           set to a valid value, the object will be initialized for that format (since dpkg 1.19.3).

           The options key is a hash ref which 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).
