VERSION
Version 1.0.0
SYNOPSIS
This class contain all methods for the treatment of the CHECKSMUMS.md5 file
use Slackware::Slackget::SpecialFiles::CHECKSUMS;
my $spec_chk = Slackware::Slackget::SpecialFiles::CHECKSUMS->new('CHECKSUMS.md5','slackware');
$spec_chk->compile();
my $ref = $spec_chk->get_checksums('glibc-profile-2.3.4-i486-1');
print "Checksum for glibc-profile-2.3.4-i486-1.tgz : $ref->{checksum}\n";
print "Checksum for glibc-profile-2.3.4-i486-1.tgz.asc : $ref->{'signature-checksum'}\n";
WARNINGS
All classes from the Slackware::Slackget::SpecialFiles:: namespace need the followings methods :
- a contructor new()
- a method compil()
- a method get_result(), which one can be an alias on another method of the class.
Moreover, the get_result() methode need to return a hashref. Keys of this hashref are the filenames.
Classes from ths namespace represent an abstraction of the special file they can manage so informations stored in the returned hashref must have a direct link with this special file.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
The constructor take three argument : the file CHECKSUMS.md5 with his all path, a Slackware::Slackget::Config object and an id name.
my $spec_chk = Slackware::Slackget::SpecialFiles::CHECKSUMS->new('/home/packages/CHECKSUMS.md5',$config,'slackware');
The constructor return undef if the file does not exist.
FUNCTIONS
compile
This method take no arguments, and extract the list of couple (file/checksum). Those couple are store into an internal data structure.
$spec_chk->compile();
get_checksums
This method return a Slackware::Slackget::Package object containing 2 keys : checksum and signature-checksum, wich are respectively the file checksum and the GnuPG signature (.asc) checksum. The object can contain more inforations (like the package-source and package-location). This method is the same that get_package().
my $ref = $spec_chk->get_checksums($package_name) ;
This method return undef if $package_name doesn't exist in the data structure.
get_package
Return informations relative to a packages as a Slackware::Slackget::Package object.
my $package_object = $spec_chk->get_package($package_name) ;
get_result
Alias for get_checksums()
to_XML (deprecated)
Same as to_xml(), provided for backward compatibility.
to_xml
Translate the internale data structure into a single XML string.
