VERSION
version 0.012
SYNOPSIS
use CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora::Package::RPM;
my $package =
CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora::Package::RPM->new(module => $module);
my $ok = $package->create(verbose => 0|1);
my $ok = $package->install(verbose => 0|1);DESCRIPTION
This CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora::Package subclass creates binary RPM packages from Perl distributions.
SUBROUTINES/METHODS
format_priority
my $priority = CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora::Package::RPM->format_priority;Checks if the RPM package tools are available and if the system uses RPM.
create
my $ok = $package->create(verbose => 0|1);Creates a package.
install
my $ok = $package->install(verbose => 0|1);Installs the package.
outputname
my $rpm = $package->outputname;Returns the package filename, e.g. ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/perl-Some-Module-1.0-1.noarch.rpm.
rpmdir
my $rpmdir = $package->rpmdir;Returns the name of the directory where binary RPM package files are stored. Defaults to %{_topdir}/rpmbuild/RPMS, which is usually in your home directory.
arch
my $arch = $package->arch;Returns "noarch" if the Perl distribution is hardware independent. Otherwise the hardware architecture is returned, for example "x86_64".
dist
my $dist = $package->dist;Returns the dist suffix, e.g. ".fc34" on Fedora 34 and ".mga8" on Mageia 8, or the empty string.
release
my $release = $package->release;Returns the package release, which is composed of the build number and the dist suffix.
epoch
my $epoch = $package->epoch;Returns the package epoch. Taken from a previously installed package or the environment variable EPOCH.
distribution
my $distribution = $package->distribution;Gets and returns the distribution, for example "openSUSE Tumbleweed", from the RPM macro %distribution or the /etc/os-release file.
provides
for my $capability (@{$package->provides}) {
say $capability;
}Returns additional capabilities, i.e. package and module names, that are provided by this package.
obsoletes
for my $package_name (@{$package->obsoletes}) {
say $package_name;
}Returns packages that are obsoleted by this package.
spec
my $text = $package->spec;Fills in a template and returns a spec file.
DIAGNOSTICS
See CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora for diagnostics.
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
See CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora for supported files and environment variables.
DEPENDENCIES

Requires the operating system packages "perl", "rpm-build", "gcc", "make", "sudo" and, if available, "perl-generators".
INCOMPATIBILITIES
None.
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
The date in the RPM changelog is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
AutoReq is enabled for architecture-dependent packages so that shared library dependencies are added. Unfortunately, there are some Perl distributions with hardcoded dependencies on /opt/bin/perl that are picked up by AutoReq. Create an additional RPM package that provides a symbolic link from /opt/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl if you need to install such Perl distributions.
