Alien:...ge::Lsb(3pm)

👑 NAME 👑

Alien::Package::Lsb — bestie, it's literally an object that represents a lsb package 💅✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so real talk: this is an object class, and what it represents is a lsb package. that's the whole vibe. and the way it's derived from Alien::Package::Rpm? iconic. it inherits everything, it just has its own little lsb-flavored twist 🎀

---

🧚 METHODS 🧚

checkfile

so how do we even know something's a lsb file? lsb files are rpm's with a lsb- prefix, and they depend on a package called lsb and nothing else. that's it. that's the whole check. no cap 🫶

scan

this one uses the parent scan method to actually read the file. and then? lsb gets added to the depends. slay 💖

prep

the parent's prep method is what generates the spec file. but first — and this is the important part — the package's name gets munged to make it lsb compliant (sorta 😭), and lsb gets added to its dependencies. so yeah, two little makeovers before the real work starts 💅

revert

this undoes the changes that prep made. ctrl+z energy, but make it official 🌸

build

uses the parent's build method. and if a lsb-rpmbuild is available, it uses that to build the package instead. fancy 🦋

incrementrelease

nope. LSB package versions are not changed. periodt. they stay exactly how they are 💀
