NAMEDpkg::Version − handling and comparing dpkg−style version numbers

DESCRIPTIONThe Dpkg::Version module provides pure-Perl routines to compare dpkg-style version numbers (as used in Debian packages) and also an object oriented interface overriding perl operators to do the right thing when you compare Dpkg::Version object between them.

METHODS$v = Dpkg::Version−>new($version, %opts) Create a new Dpkg::Version object corresponding to the version indicated in the string (scalar) $version. By default it will accepts any string and consider it as a valid version. If you pass the option check => 1, it will return undef if the version is invalid (see version_check for details). You can always call $v>is_valid() later on to verify that the version is valid. boolean evaluation When the Dpkg::Version object is used in a boolean evaluation (for example in if ($v) or $v ? \$v\ : 'default') it returns true if the version stored is valid ($v−>is_valid()) and false otherwise. Notice: Between dpkg 1.15.7.2 and 1.19.1 this overload used to return ​$v>as_string() if $v>is_valid(), a breaking change in behavior that caused ​0 versions to be evaluated as false. To catch any possibly intended code that relied on those semantics, this overload will emit a warning with category Dpkg::Version::semantic_change::overload::bool until dpkg 1.20.x. Once fixed, or for already valid code the warning can be quiesced with ​ no if $Dpkg::Version::VERSION ge '1.02', ​ warnings => qw(Dpkg::Version::semantic_change::overload::bool); added after the use Dpkg::Version. $v>is_valid() Returns true if the version is valid, false otherwise. $v>epoch(), $v>version(), $v>revision() Returns the corresponding part of the full version string. $v>is_native() Returns true if the version is native, false if it has a revision. $v1 <=> $v2, $v1 < $v2, $v1 <= $v2, $v1 > $v2, $v1 >= $v2 Numerical comparison of various versions numbers. One of the two operands needs to be a Dpkg::Version, the other one can be anything provided that its string representation is a version number. ``$v'', $v>as_string(), $v>as_string(%options) Accepts an optional option hash reference, affecting the string conversion. Options: omit_epoch (defaults to 0) Omit the epoch, if present, in the output string. omit_revision (defaults to 0) Omit the revision, if present, in the output string. Returns the string representation of the version number.

FUNCTIONSAll the functions are exported by default. version_compare($a, $b) Returns −1 if $a is earlier than $b, 0 if they are equal and 1 if $a is later than $b. If $a or $b are not valid version numbers, it dies with an error. version_compare_relation($a, $rel, $b) Returns the result (0 or 1) of the given comparison operation. This function is implemented on top of version_compare(). Allowed values for $rel are the exported constants REL_GT, REL_GE, REL_EQ, REL_LE, REL_LT. Use version_normalize_relation() if you have an input string containing the operator. $rel = version_normalize_relation($rel_string) Returns the normalized constant of the relation $rel (a value among REL_GT, REL_GE, REL_EQ, REL_LE and REL_LT). Supported relations names in input are: gt, ge, eq, le, lt, >>, >=, ​=, <=, <<. > and < are also supported but should not be used as they are obsolete aliases of >= and <=. version_compare_string($a, $b) String comparison function used for comparing non-numerical parts of version numbers. Returns −1 if $a is earlier than $b, 0 if they are equal and 1 if $a is later than $b. The ~ character always sort lower than anything else. Digits sort lower than non-digits. Among remaining characters alphabetic characters (A−Z, a−z) sort lower than the other ones. Within each range, the ASCII decimal value of the character is used to sort between characters. version_compare_part($a, $b) Compare two corresponding sub-parts of a version number (either upstream version or debian revision). Each parameter is split by version_split_digits() and resulting items are compared together. As soon as a difference happens, it returns −1 if ​$a is earlier than $b, 0 if they are equal and 1 if $a is later than $b. @items = version_split_digits($version) Splits a string in items that are each entirely composed either of digits or of non-digits. For instance for 1.024~beta1+svn234 it would return (1, ., 024, ~beta, 1, +svn, 234). ($ok, $msg) = version_check($version) $ok = version_check($version) Checks the validity of $version as a version number. Returns 1 in $ok if the version is valid, 0 otherwise. In the latter case, $msg contains a description of the problem with the $version scalar.

CHANGES

Version 1.03 (dpkg 1.20.0)Remove deprecation warning from semantic change in 1.02.

Version 1.02 (dpkg 1.19.1)Semantic change: bool evaluation semantics restored to their original behavior.

Version 1.01 (dpkg 1.17.0)New argument: Accept an options argument in $v>as_string(). New method: $v>is_native().

Version 1.00 (dpkg 1.15.6)Mark the module as public.
