# Alien::Package::Lsb(3pm)

an object that represents a lsb package

## NAME

Alien::Package::Lsb - an object that represents a lsb package

## DESCRIPTION

This is an object class that represents a lsb package. It is derived from Alien::Package::Rpm.

## METHODS

- checkfile

  Lsb files are rpm's with a lsb- prefix, that depend on a package called 'lsb' and nothing else.

- scan

  Uses the parent scan method to read the file. lsb is added to the depends.

- prep

  The parent's prep method is used to generate the spec file. First though, the package's name is munged to make it lsb compliant (sorta) and lsb is added to its dependencies.

- revert

  Undo the changes made by prep.

- build

  Uses the parent's build method. If a lsb-rpmbuild is available, uses it to build the package.

- incrementrelease

  LSB package versions are not changed.
