""" Facilities for reading and writing Debian changelogs

The aim of this module is to provide programmatic access to Debian changelogs
to query and manipulate them. The format for the changelog is defined in
`deb-changelog(5)
<https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/dpkg-dev/deb-changelog.5.html>`_

Stability: The API is not marked as stable but hasn't changed incompatibly
since 2007. Potential users of these classes are asked to work with the
`python-debian` maintainers to improve, extend and stabilise this API.

Overview
========

Create a changelog object using the constuctor. Pass it the contents of the
file if there are some entries, or ``None`` to create an empty changelog::

    >>> import debian.changelog
    >>> ch = debian.changelog.Changelog()
    >>> maintainer, email = 'John Doe', 'joe@example.com'
    >>> timestamp = 1617222715
    >>> # You might want to use get_maintainer() a la:
    >>> # maintainer, email = debian.changelog.get_maintainer()
    >>> ch.new_block(
    ...     package='example',
    ...     version='0.1',
    ...     distributions='unstable',
    ...     urgency='low',
    ...     author="%s <%s>" % (maintainer, email),
    ...     # You can also omit timestamp, if you are fine with "now"
    ...     # We use a hard-coded timestamp for deterministic output
    ...     date=debian.changelog.format_date(timestamp=1617222715, localtime=False)
    ... )
    >>> ch.add_change('')
    >>> ch.add_change(' * Some change')
    >>> ch.add_change('')
    >>> print(ch, end='')
    example (0.1) unstable; urgency=low
    <BLANKLINE>
     * Some change
    <BLANKLINE>
     -- John Doe <joe@example.com>  Wed, 31 Mar 2021 20:31:55 -0000


If you have the full contents of a changelog, but are only interested in the
most recent versions you can pass the ``max_blocks`` keyword parameter to the
constuctor to limit the number of blocks of the changelog that will be parsed.
If you are only interested in the most recent version of the package then pass
``max_blocks=1``::

    >>> import gzip
    >>> from debian.changelog import Changelog
    >>> with gzip.open('/usr/share/doc/dpkg/changelog.Debian.gz') as fh:  # doctest: +SKIP
    ...     ch = Changelog(fh, max_blocks=1)
    >>> print('''
    ...     Package: %s
    ...     Version: %s
    ...     Urgency: %s''' % (ch.package, ch.version, ch.urgency))  # doctest: +SKIP
        Package: dpkg
        Version: 1.18.24
        Urgency: medium


See `/usr/share/doc/python-debian/examples/changelog/` or the
`git repository
<https://salsa.debian.org/python-debian-team/python-debian/tree/master/
examples/changelog>`_
for examples of usage.


The :class:`Changelog` class is the key class within this module.

class Changelog:
    """Represents a debian/changelog file.

    To get the properly formatted changelog back out of the object
    merely call `str()` on it. The returned string should be a properly
    formatted changelog.

    :param file: str, list of str, or file-like.
        The contents of the changelog, either as a ``str``, ``unicode`` object,
        or an iterator of lines such as a filehandle, (each line is either a
        ``str`` or ``unicode``)
    :param max_blocks: int, optional (Default: ``None``, no limit)
        The maximum number of blocks to parse from the input.
    :param allow_empty_author: bool, optional (Default: `False`),
        Whether to allow an empty author in the trailer line of a change
        block.
    :param strict: bool, optional (Default: ``False``, use a warning)
        Whether to raise an exception if there are errors.
    :param encoding: str,
        If the input is a str or iterator of str, the encoding to use when
        interpreting the input.

    There are a number of errors that may be thrown by the module:

    - :class:`ChangelogParseError`:
      Indicates that the changelog could not be parsed, i.e. there is a line
      that does not conform to the requirements, or a line was found out of
      its normal position. May be thrown when using the method
      `parse_changelog`.
      The constructor will not throw this exception.
    - :class:`ChangelogCreateError`:
      Some information required to create the changelog was not available.
      This can be thrown when `str()` is used on the object, and will occur
      if a required value is `None`.
    - :class:`VersionError`:
      The string used to create a Version object cannot be parsed as it
      doesn't conform to the specification of a version number. Can be
      thrown when creating a Changelog object from an existing changelog,
      or instantiating a Version object directly to assign to the version
      attribute of a Changelog object.

    If you have a changelog that may have no author information yet as
    it is still a work in progress, i.e. the author line is just::

        --

    rather than::

        -- Author <author@debian.org>  Thu, 12 Dec 2006 12:23:34 +0000

    then you can pass ``allow_empty_author=True`` to the Changelog
    constructor. If you do this then the ``author`` and ``date``
    attributes may be ``None``.
