NAME

6       Alien::Package::Slp - an object that represents a slp package
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This is an object class that represents a slp package. It is derived
10       from Alien::Package.
11

CLASS DATA

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
16       footer_size
17           Complete sizeof(slpformat) from slp.h in the stampede package
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

FIELDS

37       compresstype
38           Holds the compression type used in the slp file.
39
40       slpkgversion
41           Holds the slp package format version of the slp file.
42

METHODS

44       checkfile
45           Detect slp files by their extension.
46
47       install
48           Install a slp. Pass in the filename of the slp to install.
49
50       getfooter
51           Pulls the footer out of the slp file and returns it.
52
53       scan
54           Implement the scan method to read a slp file.
55
56       unpack
57           Unpack a slp file. They can be compressed in various ways,
58           depending on what is in the compresstype field.
59
60       build
61           Build a slp.
62
63       conffiles
64           Set/get conffiles.
65
66           When the conffiles are set, the format used by slp (a colon-
67           delimited list) is turned into the real list that is used
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.
