6 Alien::Package::Slp - an object that represents a slp package
7
9 This is an object class that represents a slp package. It is derived
10 from Alien::Package.
11
13 The following data is global to the class, and is used to describe the
14 slp package format, which this class processes directly.
15

18 manager source.
19
20 footer_packstring
21 This is the pack format string for the footer. (A=space terminated
22 character, I=unsigned integer.)
23
24 footer_version
25 What package format are we up to now? (Lowest one this is still
26 compatible with.)
27
28 archtrans
29 This is a translation table between architectures and the number
30 that represents them in a slp package.
31
32 fieldlist
33 This is a list of all the fields in the order they appear in the
34 footer.
35
37 compresstype

59

62
63 conffiles
64 Set/get conffiles.
65
66 When the conffiles are set, the format used by slp (a colon-

68 internally. The list is changed back into slp's internal format
69 when it is retrieved.
70
71 copyright
72 Set/get copyright.
73
74 When the copyright is set, the number used by slp is changed into a
75 textual description. This is changed back into a number when the
76 value is retrieved.
77
78 arch
79 Set/get arch.
80
81 When the arch is set, the number used by slp is changed into a
82 textual description. This is changed back into a number when the
83 value is retrieved.
84
85 release
86 Set/get release version.
87
88 When the release version is retrieved, it is converted to an
89 unsigned integer, as is required by the slp package format.
