Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - parse Debian changelogs
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+deb-changelog">deb-changelog</A></B>(5).
<P>
The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments,
<FONT SIZE="-1">RCS</FONT> keywords, Vim modelines, Emacs local variables and stuff from
older changelogs with other formats at the end of the file.
<FONT SIZE="-1">NOTE:</FONT> most of these are ignored silently currently, there is no
parser error issued for them. This should become configurable in the
future.
