Index NAME
Alien::Package::Tgz - an object that represents a tgz package
DESCRIPTION
This is an object class that represents a tgz package, as used in Slackware. It is derived from Alien::Package.
CLASS DATA
- scripttrans
- Translation table between canoical script names and the names used intgz's.
METHODS
- checkfile
- Detect tgz files by their extention.
- install
- Install a tgz with installpkg. Pass in the filename of the tgz to install.
installpkg (a slackware program) is used because I'm not sanguine aboutjust untarring a tgz file. It might trash a system.
- scan
- Scan a tgz file for fields. Has to scan the filename for most of theinformation, since there is little useful metadata in the file itself.
- unpack
- Unpack tgz.
- prep
- Adds a populated install directory to the build tree.
- build
- Build a tgz.
