NAME
RPM::Spec - A very simplistic read-only method of accessing RPM spec files
SYNOPSIS
use RPM::Spec;
my $spec = RPM::Spec->new('path/to/my.spec');
say 'Version is: ' . $spec->version;
say 'Spec has an epoch' if $spec->has_epoch;DESCRIPTION
WARNING: This code is actively being worked on, and the API may change.
RPM::Spec provides simplistic access to the different bits of information a spec file provides... It is basically a collection of different parsing routines that were scattered through a bunch of other modules.
CLASS FUNCTIONS
- new(specfile => [Str|File])
-
Create a new RPM::Specfile object. The only required parameter is 'specfile', which is either a string or Path::Class::File object pointing to the location of the specfile.
METHODS
Tag Functions
These methods each return the value of the given tag. If the tag is not present, undef is returned.
- license
- epoch
- release
- version
- source0
-
Note this will pick up from either of "Source" or "Source0" tags.
- name
- url
- summary
- middle
-
The "middle" of a spec; e.g. everything from the first %description until the changelog starts.
Dependency Functions
Documentation as this interface is likely to change in the Very Near Future.
Content Functions
- content()
-
Returns an array of strings representing the specfile.
- has_content
-
Is the file empty?
- num_lines_in_content
-
Returns the line count of the specfile.
- grep_content(sub { ... })
-
Given a coderef, greps through the content with it. See also grep.
CAVEATS
No macro parsing
Macros are not evaluated. e.g., if "Release: 1%{?dist}" is in your spec file, "1%{?dist}" will be returned by release().
Read only!
We can't make any changes.
