Alien::Package::Slp - an object that represents a slp package
This is an object class that represents a slp package. It is derived from
Alien::Package.
The following data is global to the class, and is used to describe the slp
package format, which this class processes directly.
- footer_size
- Complete sizeof(slpformat) from slp.h in the stampede
package manager source.
- footer_packstring
- This is the pack format string for the footer. (A=space
terminated character, I=unsigned integer.)
- footer_version
- What package format are we up to now? (Lowest one this is
still compatible with.)
- archtrans
- This is a translation table between architectures and the
number that represents them in a slp package.
- fieldlist
- This is a list of all the fields in the order they appear
in the footer.
- compresstype
- Holds the compression type used in the slp file.
- slpkgversion
- Holds the slp package format version of the slp file.
- checkfile
- Detect slp files by their extension.
- install
- Install a slp. Pass in the filename of the slp to
install.
- getfooter
- Pulls the footer out of the slp file and returns it.
- scan
- Implement the scan method to read a slp file.
- unpack
- Unpack a slp file. They can be compressed in various ways,
depending on what is in the compresstype field.
- build
- Build a slp.
- conffiles
- Set/get conffiles.
When the conffiles are set, the format used by slp (a colon-delimited list)
is turned into the real list that is used internally. The list is changed
back into slp's internal format when it is retrieved.
- copyright
- Set/get copyright.
When the copyright is set, the number used by slp is changed into a textual
description. This is changed back into a number when the value is
retrieved.
- arch
- Set/get arch.
When the arch is set, the number used by slp is changed into a textual
description. This is changed back into a number when the value is
retrieved.
- release
- Set/get release version.
When the release version is retrieved, it is converted to an unsigned
integer, as is required by the slp package format.
