Lintian::Hint::Bearer(3)

💖 Lintian::Hint::Bearer — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, we're looking at Lintian::Hint::Bearer, a page from the Debian Package Checker (that's the manual name, consider it folded in 💅). It's a Perl thing. It's from the Lintian family. It is very short and very vibes-based. Let's go. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Lintian::Hint::Bearer — literally the facilities for objects receiving Lintian tags. That's the whole gig. No notes. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, here's the whole setup. Write it exactly like this, no cap:

use Moo; use namespace::clean;

with('Lintian::Hint::Bearer');

See? <cyan>Moo</cyan> for the object situation, <cyan>namespace::clean</cyan> to keep your namespace tidy (we love a clean namespace, it's giving organized 💅), and then with('Lintian::Hint::Bearer') to actually absorb the role. Iconic.

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

It's a class. Its whole job? Collecting Lintian tags as they are found. That's it. That's the description. Short, sweet, main character energy. 🫶

---

⭐ INSTANCE METHODS ⭐

okay so here's where the source gets a little chaotic, and I am nothing if not faithful to my sources, so:

• profile =item context_tracker

Yeah bestie. That's what it says. I'm not editing it, I'm not "fixing" it, I'm just handing it to you exactly as it landed in the page. 😭 Some things are mysteries and we respect them.

Then the actual methods:

• pointed_hint (ARGS) — Store found tags for later processing. Lowkey the same energy as the next one.
• hint (ARGS) — Store found tags for later processing. Yes, again. Two methods, same one-liner. They're twins. Let them be twins. 👯
• hints — (that's the last one on the list, with no description at all, and honestly? respect for the confidence 🌈)

heads up bestie: everything here is exactly as the source says it, even the weird bit. I changed the vibe, never the facts. periodt. 💅

and that's a wrap on this one 🎀 — this page comes from Lintian v2.114.0ubuntu1.8, dated 2026-05-06, and it's the manual for Lintian::Hint::Bearer(3). mwah, go collect those tags ✨🦋
