README.api
This is an (incomplete) list of currently provided APIs by dpkg, and
their supported status.
What: libdpkg.a (C static library)
Status: volatile
Description:
The API provided by this library is highly volatile, still in the process
of being cleaned up. It's only supposed to be used internally by dpkg for
now. Header files, functions, variables and types might get renamed,
removed or change semantics. If you still have a need to use it, which
you'd be doing anyway, say by locally building dpkg to get the library,
then define the C preprocessor macro LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API in your build
to acknowledge that fact.
What: Dpkg (perl modules)
Status: testing
Description:
The API provided by these modules is not yet stable, it's only supposed to
be used internally by dpkg for now.
What: custom changelog parsers in /usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog
Status: stable
Version: 2.0
Description:
Since dpkg 1.14.16, the set of command-line options that custome
changelog parsers must support has been expanded (see
dpkg-parsechangelog(1)). For compatibility, changelog parsers supporting
only the old options are supported in lenny. In lenny+1, that support
will be dropped.
.
For reference, only the -v option was supported in version 1.0 of this
API.
