RPM::Make 0.8

RPM::Make is a Perl module to cleanly generate an RPM. SYNOPSIS use RPM::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 %confnoreplace; my %metadata; # Define special handling of files. $doc{tmproot/file1.txt}=1; $conf{tmproot/file2.txt}=1; $confnoreplace{tmproot/file3.txt}=1; # Bare minimum metadata (descriptive data of the software package). my $pathprefix=tmproot; # Location of files to be included in package. my $tag=Test; # Default name of the software package. my $version=0.1; # Version number. my $release=1; # Release number (versions can have multiple releases). # Highly descriptive metadata. %metadata=( vendor=>Excellence in Perl Laboratory, summary=>Test Software Package, name=>$tag, copyrightname=>..., group=>Utilities/System, AutoReqProv=>no, requires=>[(PreReq: setup, PreReq: passwd, PreReq: util-linux )], description=>This package is generated by RPM::Make. . This implements the .$tag. software package, pre=>echo "You are installing a package built by RPM::Make; . RPM::Make is available at http://www.cpan.org/.", ); # Temporary "sandbox" (this should not be /tmp because this is deleted!). my $buildloc=TempBuildLoc; # The "execute" subroutine coordinates all of the RPM building steps. RPM::Make::execute($tag,$version,$release,$arch,$buildloc,$pathprefix, @filelist,%doc,%conf,%confnoreplace, %metadata); # You can also build an RPM in more atomic steps; these three smaller # steps are equivalent to the execute command. # Step 1: Generate the rpm source location. RPM::Make::rpmsrc($tag,$version,$release,$buildloc,$pathprefix, @filelist,%doc,%conf,%confnoreplace, %metadata); # Step 2: Build the rpm and copy into the invoking directory. RPM::Make::compilerpm($buildloc,$metadata{name},$version, $release,$arch, $currentdir,$invokingdir); # Step 3: Clean the location used to gather and build the rpm. RPM::Make::cleanbuildloc($buildloc);.
