Dpkg::BuildProfiles(3perl)

💅 Dpkg::BuildProfiles — the libdpkg-perl era

okay so bestie, welcome to Dpkg::BuildProfiles, a Perl module from the libdpkg-perl universe. It's giving "small but mighty," and honestly? It slays at exactly one job. Let's get into it. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Dpkg::BuildProfiles — literally the module that handles build profiles. That's the whole vibe. 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Dpkg::BuildProfiles is a module that provides functions to handle the build profiles. That's it, that's the description, no cap — it's a little toolbox and every tool in it is about build profiles. 🎀

---

🔥 FUNCTIONS 🔥

Here's the whole squad, one function at a time. No skipping, bestie, we're doing all of them. 👑

• @profiles = get_build_profiles() — grabs you an array with the currently active build profiles, and it takes them straight from the environment variable DEB_BUILD_PROFILES. Like, it's reading the room (the environment) for you. 🫶
• set_build_profiles(@profiles) — sets @profiles as the current active build profiles, by setting the environment variable DEB_BUILD_PROFILES. So it's the pushy one — it writes back to the env var. 💅
• $bool = build_profile_is_invalid($string) — validates a build profile formula. Returns a boolean, so you get a lil true/false verdict. ⭐
• @profiles = parse_build_profiles($string) — parses a build profiles specification into an array of array references. Nested arrays, main character energy. 🌈

⚠️ heads up: it will die on invalid syntax. Not "return undef," not "warn a lil bit" — it dies. So wrap it if you're feeling fragile, bestie. 💀

• $bool = evaluate_restriction_formula(\@formula, \@profiles) — evaluates whether a restriction formula of the form "<foo bar> <baz>" — given as a nested array — is true or false, given the array of enabled build profiles. It's the judge, the jury, and the vibe check all at once. 🧚
