NAME

       Debian::LicenseReconcile::Filter::ChangeLog - parses changelog

VERSION

       Version 0.4

SYNOPSIS

           use Debian::LicenseReconcile::Filter::ChangeLog;

           my $filter = Debian::LicenseReconcile::Filter::ChangeLog->new(
               directory=>'.',
               changelog=>$CHANGELOG,
           );
           my @info = $filter->get_info();

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

   get_info
       Returns a list of hash references describing copyright and license information that should
       be checked against the copyright target. The results returned from this filter consist of
       blocks whose copyright holders and years are taken from the changelog. One block is
       generated for every file with unassigned copyright below the debian directory. The license
       string is taken from the license field of the filter config but defaults to 'GPL-2+'.

       Also the code will look for changelog lines of the form:

           Email change: Nicholas Bamber -> periapt@debian.org

       The purpose of this is that if a maintainer's email address has changed over the course of
       the history of the package only the email address specified in that directive will be
       used.

AUTHOR

       Nicholas Bamber, "<nicholas at periapt.co.uk>"
