If more folks want to play this game, we should probably move this to a wiki page, but for the sake of getting things moving simply, here we go: dh-make-perl uses this module for three things: - t/debian-version.t: extracting the latest version of a changelog file - copyright_from_changelog: - extract maintainer and date for each changelog entry - extract content of the changelog entry, AFAICT only in order to detect email address changes → seems non-critical to me but nice to have (and I bet Lintian needs that too anyway) pkg-perl-tools uses this module only in scripts/missing-upstream (aka. "dpt missing-upstream"), for extracting, from each changelog entry, the name and version of the source package. AFAICT, all this could be reimplemented using dpkg-parsechangelog(1), either in Parse::DebianChangelog itself or in a brand new module. Cheers, -- intrigeri
