DESCRIPTION

This module collects information on a yet to be created Debian or RPM package. The information is obtained from a CPANPLUS::Module object, the file system and the environment. Among other things, the module gets the package name, a short summary, a description, the license and the dependencies.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

Any methods marked Abstract must be implemented by subclasses.

new

  my $package = CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora::Package->new(
      module       => $module,
      installdirs  => 'vendor',
      build_number => 1,
  );

Creates a new object. The CPANPLUS::Module object parameter is mandatory. All other attributes are optional.

format_priority Abstract

  my $priority = CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora::Package->format_priority;

Checks whether the package format is available. Returns 0 if the required package tools are not available, 1 if the tools are available and 2 or higher if the format is the operating system's native format.

create Abstract

  my $ok = $package->create(verbose => 0|1);

DIAGNOSTICS

See CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora for diagnostics.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

See CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora for supported files and environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Requires the module Software::License from CPAN.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Some operating systems numify Perl distribution versions but not consistently. This module sticks closely to the version string, which seems to be the most common approach.
