🎀 NAME 🎀

Lintian::Archive — literally just facilities for archive data, bestie 💖

So like, you're holding the manual page for Lintian::Archive(3), which lives under the Debian Package Checker umbrella (that's Lintian, the thing that roasts your .debs before anybody else has to). This page is your whole vibe check on it ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Lintian::Archive;

That's it. That's the whole entrance. One line, no drama, she just arrives. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk: Lintian::Archive is a class 💅 for downloading and accessing archive information.

And yes, that's the entire description. She's mysterious. She's giving main character with no backstory. You get the downloads, you get the access, you get the archive info. Periodt. 🫶

💖 INSTANCE METHODS 💖

These are the instance methods she brings to the group chat. No cap, this is the full list — nobody's getting left on read:

  • mirror_base
  • work_folder
  • packages
  • contents_gz
  • deb822_packages_by_installable_name

(That last one is so long it needs its own zip code, and we respect her for it. 😭)

✨ AUTHOR ✨

Originally written by Felix Lechner <felix.lechner@lease-up.com> for Lintian. 🎀 Genuinely iconic of him. Obsessed. Not me being grateful to a stranger from a manpage, but here we are. 💜

Heads up bestie: this page is short on purpose, so don't come for me about missing lore. Every method name, every path, every detail that was in here is still in here — I just put it in a cuter outfit. 💅
