Among other things, it means that apt-file will *not* be parsing the sources.list file. Locating the Contents will should thereafter be a matter of using "apt-get indextargets" with some options. I plan to make apt-file scan any "^Created-By: Contents.*$" files by default (if you want to emulate apt-file's behaviour in that regard in dh-make-perl).

FTR, I tried moving the parse_sources_list() routine into a separate module (Apt::Parse::Sources), but it seems to use too much from apt-file's machinery - $Conf, debug(), error(), warningx(). Not that it isn't possible to re-implement that or hack something, but it started to feel uncomfortable messing with apt-file internals.

Bug#783137: share parsing of sources.list files
Package: dh-make-perl, apt-file Severity: wishlist It looks like both apt-file and Debian::AptContents::get_contents_files() in dh-make-perl parse /etc/apt/sources.list type files and try to determine a path to Contents files from that. It would be nice if they could share this code, perhaps by moving it into a separate module shipped with apt-file that dh-make-perl could use. (This was prompted by #783110 FWIW.) As for actually parsing the sources.list files, libapt-pkg-perl does some of that too but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any interface for getting details about the source repositories... -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
