SYNOPSIS use DPKG::Make; # The "Manifest": list of files that will comprise the software package. my @filelist=(tmproot/file1.txt, tmproot/file2.txt, tmproot/file3.txt, tmproot/file4.txt); my %doc; my %conf; my %metadata; # Define special handling of files. $doc{tmproot/file1.txt}=1; $conf{tmproot/file2.txt}=1; # Bare minimum metadata (descriptive data of the software package). my $pathprefix=tmproot; my $tag=test; # cannot use uppercase characters my $version=0.1; my $release=1; # Highly descriptive metadata. %metadata=( vendor=>Excellence in Perl Laboratory, summary=>a Test Software Package, name=>$tag, copyrightname=>..., group=>base, AutoReqProv=>no, requires=>[()], email=>joe@somewhere.com, description=>This package is generated by DPKG::Make. . This implements the .$tag. software package, pre=>echo "You are installing a package built by DPKG::Make; . DPKG::Make is available at http://www.cpan.org/.", ); # Temporary "sandbox" (this should not be /tmp because this is deleted!). my $buildloc=TempBuildLoc; # The "execute" subroutine coordinates all of the DPKG building steps. DPKG::Make::execute($tag,$version,$release,$arch,$buildloc,$pathprefix, @filelist,%doc,%conf, %metadata); # You can also build a DPKG in more atomic steps; these three smaller # steps are equivalent to the execute command. # Step 1: Generate the rpm source location. DPKG::Make::dpkgsrc($tag,$version,$release,$arch,$buildloc,$pathprefix, @filelist,%doc,%conf, %metadata); # Step 2: Build the rpm and copy into the invoking directory. DPKG::Make::compiledpkg($buildloc,$metadata{name},$version, $release,$arch, $currentdir,$invokingdir); # Step 3: clean the location used to gather and build the rpm. DPKG::Make::cleanbuildloc($buildloc);.
