l.a.d.GeneralizedPublication : class documentation

Part of lp.archivepublisher.domination View In Hierarchy

Generalize handling of publication records.

This allows us to write code that can be dealing with either
`SourcePackagePublishingHistory`s or `BinaryPackagePublishingHistory`s
without caring which.  Differences are abstracted away in a traits
class.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	getPackageName	Get the package's name.
Method	getPackageVersion	Obtain the version string for a publication record.
Method	compare	Compare publications by version.
Method	sortPublications	Sort publications from most to least current versions.

def __init__(self, is_source=True):

Undocumented

def getPackageName(self, pub):

Get the package's name.

def getPackageVersion(self, pub):

Obtain the version string for a publication record.

def compare(self, pub1, pub2):

If both publications are for the same version, their creation dates break the tie.

def sortPublications(self, publications):
