💖 Archive::RPM::ChangeLogEntry 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the perl docs, user contributed edition ✨ this whole page is literally about one tiny little thing and honestly? she's serving exactly what she needs to serve 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Archive::RPM::ChangeLogEntry — a RPM %changelog entry 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The basic bits that represent an RPM changelog entry. that's it, that's the whole vibe — just the lil' building blocks of one changelog entry, no cap 💅

✨ SUBROUTINES/METHODS ✨

• text — the text of the changelog entry 📝 like, the actual words.
• time — the time of the entry ⏰ she knows when it happened.
• name — the "name" part of the changelog entry 👑 but heads up, it's often overloaded with the version/rel of the package it applies to. (yes, the original literally spells it "ovten" — i am choosing to be normal about that 🙈 anyway, that's the info: it gets overloaded, lowkey a lot.)
• as_string — returns the properly laid-out changelog 🌈 and she's also the function that gets called when this object is used in a string context (aka "stringified") 💫 so if you drop her in a string, that's the one who shows up.
