Free package name software for linux

RPM Package Maker is a frontend for other linux tools in order to help linux users to create RPM packages quickly and easily.
Since version 0.8 minimal spec files are kept in:
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/mini
Enhancements:
- Small improvements and bugfixes

Package SNMP Subagent provides indexed package information via SNMP output.

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the internet protocol suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force.

The protocol can support monitoring of network-attached devices for any conditions that warrant administrative attention.

The SNMP protocol is extensible by design. This is achieved through the notion of a management information base or MIB, which specifies the management data of a specific subsystem of an SNMP-enabled device, using a hierarchical namespace containing object identifiers, implemented via ASN.1.

The MIB hierarchy can be depicted as a tree with a nameless root, the levels of which are assigned by different organizations. This model permits management across all layers of the OSI reference model, extending into applications such as databases, email, and the J2EE reference model, as MIBs can be defined for all such area-specific information and operations

Fedora Package Menu is a service menu for easy installation of downloaded RPMs.

Requires sudo and good configuration of sudo.

Simple Perl Package Manager tracks the files added or deleted from a system by using "find". It can detect modified files using installwatch, make backups of modified or deleted files, and remove, list, or make a tarball of a package.

It records MD5 checksums of all installed files and includes a script to verify them and check other attributes of a package.

Debian Package Tools FE application is the first part of the Debian Package Tools FE based on python-qt3.
Debian Package builder FE is a frontend for dh-make, dpkg-dev, debhelper. It is a tool to learn to build packages for Debian based systems without any knowlegde concerning the above command line applications. Debian Package builder cannot fix build dependences and repair non-standard sources. It is only a graphical frontend.
This debug release is only for testing on your system. Debian Package Tools FE is not intended for non Debian based systems. If it works, you are lucky, but if it does not, I will not restrict the ability of the application for the shake of a restricted system. (It will not work on SUSE, because Qscintilla package does not contain the full version Qscintilla.)
Debian Package Builder FE was not tested on Ubuntu. Theoretically, it could work from Breezy, but the package dependences may not allow you to install it. In this case, I will include an Ubuntu version, just test it.
This is a debug release. In case of any error, you can test it by the command (from running from the console):
dpkg-tools-fe full_path_to_the_tarball/tarball_name.tar.gz or tar.bz2,
or without argument:
dpkg-tools-fe.
Enhancements:
- Threading improvements to increase process stability
- A solution for a python-qt bug in Debian 4.0.
- Postinst script improvements. Prerm script to clean-up.

Software::Packager::Tar is used to create tar files with the required structure as specified by the list of object added to the packager.

SYNOPSIS

use Software::Packager;
my $packager = new Software::Packager(tar);

FUNCTIONS

new()

This method creates and returns a new class object.

package_name()

This method is used to format the package name and return it in the format required for tar packages. This method overrides the package_name method of Software::Packager.

package()

This method overrides the base API and implements the required functionality to create Tar software packages.

It calls teh following method in order setup, create_package and cleanup.

setup()

This function sets up the temporary structure for the package.

Software::Packager::Rpm is a suite of Perl modules providing a common interface for
the creation of platform specific software installation packagers.

add_item()
my %object_data = (
SOURCE => /source/file1,
TYPE => file,
KIND => doc,
DESTINATION => /usr/local/file1,
USER => joe,
GROUP => staff,
MODE => 0750,
);
$packager->add_item(%object_data);

This method overrides the add_item method in Software::Packager. It adds the ability to add extra features used by RPM for each object in the package.

For more details see the documentation in: Software::Packager Software::Packager::Object::Rpm

program_name()
$packager->program_name(SoftwarePackager);
my $program_name = $packager->program_name();

This method is used to set the name of the program that the package is installing. This may in should be the same as the package name but that is not required. It must not contain spaces or a dash "-" and must be all on one line.

version()
$packager->version(1.2.3.4.5.6);
my $version = $packager->version();

This method sets the version for the package to the passed value. The version passed cannot contain a dash "-" or spaces and must be on one line.

release()

This method sets the release version for the package. The release is the number of times the package has been recreated. If the release is not set then a default of 1 is used. It cannot contain spaces, a dash or new lines.

copyright()

This method sets the copyright type for the package. This should be the name of the copyright

source()

This method sets the source location for the package. This should be the URL for the source package used to create this package.

architecture()
$packager->architecture("sparc");
my $arch = $packager->architecture();

This method sets the architecture for the package to the passed value. If no argument is passed then the current architecture is returned. This is the output "from uname -p"

package_name()
my $name = $packager->package_name();

This method returns the name of the package that will be created.

short_description()

$packager->short_description("This is a short description.");
my $description = $packager->short_description();

The short description is just that a short description of the program. It must be all on one line.

description()
$packager->description("This is the description.");
my $description = $packager->description();

The description method sets the package description to the passed value. If no arguments are passed the package description is returned.

The discription can be of any length. It will be formatted by RPM in the following way:
If a line starts with a space it will be printed verbatim.

A blank line signifies a new paragraph.

All other lines will be assumed to be part of a paragraph and will be formatted by RPM.

package()

This method creates the package and returns true if it is successful else it returns undef
