VERSION

Version 1.0.0

SYNOPSIS

This class is a container of slackget10::Package object, and allow you to perform some operations on this packages list. As the Package class, it is a slack-get's internal representation of data.

    use slackget10::PackageList;

new

This class constructor don't take any parameters, but you can eventually disable the root tag <packagelist> by using 'no-root-tag' => 1.

        my $PackageList = new slackget10::PackageList ();
        my $PackageList = new slackget10::PackageList ('no-root-tag' => 1);

FUNCTIONS

This class inheritate from slackget10::List (slackget10::List), so you may want read the slackget10::List documentation for the supported methods of this class.

fill_from_xml

Fill the slackget10::PackageList from the XML data passed as argument.

        $packagelist->fill_from_xml(
                '<choice action="installpkg">
                        <package id="gcc-objc-3.3.4-i486-1">

                                        Objective-C support for the GNU Compiler Collection.
                                        This package contains those parts of the compiler collection needed to
                                compile code written in Objective-C.  Objective-C was originally
                                developed to add object-oriented extensions to the C language, and is
                                best known as the native language of the NeXT computer.

Sort

Apply the Perl built-in function sort() on the PackageList. This method return nothing.

        $list->Sort() ;

index_list

Create an index on the PackageList. This index don't take many memory but speed a lot search, especially when you already have the package id !

The index is build with the Package ID.

get_indexed

Return a package, as well as Get() do but use the index to return it quickly. You must provide a package ID to this method.

        my $pkg = $list->get_indexed($qlistviewitem->text(5)) ;
