Config...Version(3pm)

💅 Config...Version(3pm) — the girlies' guide

okay so bestie, welcome to Config...Version(3pm) ✨ this one's a little niche but it's lowkey iconic, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Config::Model::Dpkg::Control::Source::StandardVersion — it's the Standard-Version model, no cap 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Internal use for DPkg model

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. it's giving internal business only 🙈 this isn't the one you call yourself, it's the machinery humming in the background, iykyk.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class derives from Config::Model::Value — like, it literally inherits from it, main character energy fr 💖

and its whole little purpose in life? it provides a default value for the "Standard-Version" parameter, and it does that using the Lintian library 🎀 that's the vibe. that's what it's here for.

---

💅 METHODS 💅

🌈 compare_with_last_version

okay so this one compares the version you pass in against the latest version of "Standards-Version" ⭐

where does that latest version come from, you ask? from the "lintian" package 👑 and the actual comparison? that's handled by Sort::Versions — respect the delegation, honestly.

what does it give you back? a -1, a 0, or a 1 🎯 depending on whether the version you passed is:

• older than the latest "Standards-Version" → -1
• equal to it → 0
• newer than it → 1

example 🍓

$self->compare_with_last_version('3.9.1'); # returns -1

so in that example, 3.9.1 is old news compared to the latest — hence the -1. periodt 💀
