Bug#94378: ITP: dpkg-ruby - ruby interface for dpkg

[Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

I intent to develop/package dpkg-ruby, which is ruby interface for dpkg.
It contains some ruby modules/classes to access deb information.

For examples,

 % ruby -r debian -e 'puts Dpkg.info("/org/ftp.jp.debian.org/ftp/debian/pool/main/w/w3m/w3m_0.1.10+0.1.11pre+kokb23-3_i386.deb").version'
 0.1.10+0.1.11pre+kokb23-3

 % ruby -r debian -e 'DebianPackages.new("/org/ftp.jp.debian.org/ftp/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-alpha/Packages").each_package {|deb| puts "#{deb}" if /IPv6/ =~ deb["description"]}'
w3m 0.1.10+0.1.11pre+kokb23-1
lukemftp 1.1-1
liece-dcc 1.4.3.0.20000717cvs-3
lftp 2.1.10-1
zebra 0.84b-3
