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

Mail::SpamCannibal is a HOWTO Install SpamCannibal.

Create a user account for the SpamCannibal client. The mail client should not be run as a root user, to do so creates an unacceptable security risk.

Check the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to make sure that uid and gid assignments for the new user are not already used, then run groupadd and adduser.

groupadd -g 95 spam

adduser

Login name for new user []: spam

User id for spam [ defaults to next available]:

Initial group for spam [users]: spam

Additional groups for spam (seperated
with commas, no spaces) []:

spams home directory [/home/spam]: /usr/local/spamcannibal

spams shell [/bin/bash]:

spams account expiry date (YYYY-MM-DD) []:

OK, Im about to make a new account. Heres what you entered so far:

New login name: spam
New UID: [Next available]
Initial group: spam
Additional groups: [none]
Home directory: /usr/local/spamcannibal
Shell: /bin/bash

This is it... if you want to bail out, hit Control-C. Otherwise, press
ENTER to go ahead and make the account.
