NAME

       Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian - represents a Debian changelog entry

DESCRIPTION

       This object represents a Debian changelog entry. It implements the generic interface
       Dpkg::Changelog::Entry. Only functions specific to this implementation are described below.

METHODS

       @items = $entry->get_change_items()
           Return  a list of change items. Each item contains at least one line.  A change line starting with an
           asterisk denotes the start of a new item.  Any change line like "[ Raphaël Hertzog ]" is treated like
           an item of its own even if it starts a set of items attributed to this  person  (the  following  line
           necessarily starts a new item).

       @errors = $entry->check_header()
       @errors = $entry->check_trailer()
           Return  a  list  of  errors. Each item in the list is an error message describing the problem. If the
           empty list is returned, no errors have been found.

       $entry->normalize()
           Normalize the content. Strip whitespaces at end of lines, use a single empty line  to  separate  each
           part.

UTILITY FUNCTIONS

       $bool = match_header($line)
           Checks if the line matches a valid changelog header line.

       $bool = match_trailer($line)
           Checks if the line matches a valid changelog trailing line.

       @closed_bugs = find_closes($changes)
           Takes  one  string  as  argument  and finds "Closes: #123456, #654321" statements as supported by the
           Debian Archive software in it. Returns all closed bug numbers in an array.
