Any community interest in Parse::Debian:: modules?
am 14.07.2005 20:43:17 von NickHello. I am doing lots of work in Perl with Debian (GNU/Linux) APT
files such as:
/etc/apt/sources.list
and files found in Debian mirrors like:
http://host/debian/dists/distribution/Release
http://host/debian/dists/distribution/section/binary-arch/Pa ckages.gz
http://host/debian/dists/distribution/section/source/Sources .gz
The existing package, Parse::Debian::Packages by Richard Clamp, has
been a great help to me in parsing the Packages.gz files and I was
thinking of writing similar modules that parse the other files. Anybody
interested?
I've initially reserved the following namespaces, please confer on
their (in)appropriateness:
Parse::Debian::SourcesList - parses a Debian /etc/apt/sources.list file
Parse::Debian::Release - parses a Debian Release file
Parse::Debian::Sources - parses a Debian Sources file
