Lintian::Version(3)

💖 Lintian::Version(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one is a page from the Debian Package Checker manual — Lintian::Version(3), section 3, the programming corner of the manpage universe. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Lintian::Version — routines to determine Lintian version 🫶

like, the whole vibe of this module is: what version of Lintian are we even on rn?? and these routines help you find out.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Lintian::Version;

that's it. that's the entire synopsis. no cap, you just use it and you're in. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Lintian::Version can help guess the current Lintian version. that's literally the whole job, and honestly? iconic. it's giving "small module, big purpose" energy ✨

---

👑 INSTANCE METHODS 👑

here's where the page gets mysterious, bestie. it lists two instance methods and then... says nothing else. we love a cryptic queen 🙈

• guess_version
• version_from_git

those are the two names, exactly as written, and the page does not spill any more tea than that. so that's what you get — guess_version and version_from_git, both instance methods. periodt. 💀

⭐ AUTHOR ⭐

Originally written by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> for Lintian. shoutout to the original author, main character energy fr fr 🌈

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• lintian(1)

---

and that's the whole page, babe! no more sections, no hidden extras, we checked twice. 🎀

lowkey important: every single flag, method, name and path above is copied straight from the source page — we did not add anything, because guessing at behaviour is a ✨no✨. iykyk.

sign-off time, my love 💜 this little gem comes to you from Lintian v2.139.0ubuntu2, dated 2026-10-08, and it lives in the Lintian::Version(3) manpage. mwah. go read lintian(1) next, bestie, ily 🫶🧚
