DEBBUGS-DBHASH(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 DEBBUGS-DBHASH(8)

NAME

       debbugs-dbhash - migrate a debbugs database to hashed format

SYNOPSIS

       debbugs-dbhash old-db-directory new-db-directory

DESCRIPTION

       debbugs-dbhash converts an old-style flat debbugs database into a new-style hashed-directory debbugs database, for use with debbugs 2.4 and
       above.

       The old database is simply copied, and otherwise left untouched.  The directory given for the new database must not already exist.

       In the hashed format, files with names of the form 1023.log are now stored as 23/1023.log  instead.   This  improves  performance  on  many
       filesystems for debbugs installations with large numbers of bug reports.

WARNINGS

       debbugs-dbhash  will print a warning message for each file whose name is of a form that cannot be hashed as above.  Typical debbugs instal-
       lations will have a few of these, usually index files and the like.

AUTHORS

       Adam Heath is primarily responsible for the hashed directory support in debbugs.  Colin Watson wrote debbugs-dbhash and this man page.

NAME

       Dpkg::Vendor - get access to some vendor specific information

DESCRIPTION

       The files in /etc/dpkg/origins/ can provide information about various vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those files look
       like this:

	 Vendor: Debian
	 Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/
	 Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org

       If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document the relationship by listing the base distribution in the Parent field:

	 Parent: Debian

       The file should be named according to the vendor name.

FUNCTIONS

       $fields = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)
	   Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the corresponding vendor file in /etc/dpkg/origins/. If $name is
	   omitted, it will use /etc/dpkg/origins/default which is supposed to be a symlink to the vendor of the currently installed operating
	   system. Returns undef if there's no file for the given vendor.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)
	   Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its name.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()
	   Returns the name of the current vendor. If DEB_VENDOR is set, it uses that first, otherwise it falls back to parsing
	   /etc/dpkg/origins/default.  If that file doesn't exist, it returns undef.

       $object = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)
	   Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor.  If $name is omitted, return the object of the current vendor.  If no
	   vendor can be identified, then return the Dpkg::Vendor::Default object.

       Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)
	   Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
