Canonical.Dpkg.Common

This packages is currently published as a pre-release version and the public API may still change. We provide no official support; issues are addressed on a best-effort basis.

Strongly-typed immutable value types, parsers, and comparison logic for core dpkg primitives: package names, machine architectures, and the full deb-version(7) version format.

Installation

dotnet add package Canonical.Dpkg.Common --prerelease

Usage

Compare two Debian package versions using deb-version(7) ordering:

using Canonical.Dpkg;

var installed = DpkgVersion.Parse("1:2.3.4-1ubuntu2");
var candidate = DpkgVersion.Parse("1:2.3.4-1ubuntu10");

Console.WriteLine(installed < candidate); // True

Parse dpkg version strings and access detailed information:

using Canonical.Dpkg;

var candidate = DpkgVersion.Parse("1:2.3.4+really3.0-1ubuntu10");

DpkgVersion.Parse("8.0.100-8.0.0~rc1+really7.0.100-7.0.0~beta1~bootstrap+amd64-0ubuntu1")
// {
//    Epoch: null
//    EpochValue: 0
//    UpstreamVersion: "8.0.100-8.0.0~rc1+really7.0.100-7.0.0~beta1~bootstrap+amd64"
//    RevertedUpstreamVersion: "8.0.100-8.0.0~rc1"
//    RealUpstreamVersion: "7.0.100-7.0.0~beta1~bootstrap+amd64"
//    EffectiveUpstreamVersion: "7.0.100-7.0.0~beta1~bootstrap+amd64"
//    Revision: "0ubuntu1"
//    DebianRevision: "0"
//    UbuntuRevision: "1"
// }

Parse/Validate dpkg package names:

// Validating parse without exceptions.
if (DpkgPackageName.TryParse("dotnet-sdk-10.0", out var name))
    Console.WriteLine(name);

Type-safe well known architectures, e.g.:

var architecture = DpkgMachineArchitectures.Amd64;
