NAME
Module::Install::RTx - RT extension installer
SYNOPSIS
In the Makefile.PL of the "RT-Extension-Example" module:
use inc::Module::Install;
RTx 'RT-Extension-Example';
requires_rt '4.2.0';
rt_too_new '4.4.0';
WriteAll();
DESCRIPTION
This Module::Install extension implements several functions for
installing RT extensions:
RTx '*extension name*'
This function arranges for the following directories to be installed, if
they exist (assuming "RTx('RT-Extension-Example')"):
./bin => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/bin
./etc => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/etc
./html => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/html
./lib => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/lib
./po => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/po
./sbin => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/sbin
./static => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/static
./var => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/var
Accepts an optional argument hashref after the extension name with two
possible keys
deprecated_rt
If set to a true value, skips the enforced RT-4.0.0 minimum version check
You should set a perl_version if using this option and requires_rt(), because requires_rt
only handles figuring our what perl you need if you're on RT 4.0.0 or higher.
no_readme_generation
If set to a true value, will not call readme_from on the extension's primary perl module.
requires_rt *version*
Takes one argument, a valid RT version. If an attempt is made to install
on an RT than that version, it will die before Makefile creation.
requires_rt_plugin *RT::Extension::Example* [, *version*]
Ensures that the given RT extension (and optional version) is installed
in the target RT instance; "requires" cannot be used because RT
extensions are not in @INC.
rt_too_new *version* [, *message*]
Takes one argument, a valid RT version, and prevents this module from
being installed on any version of RT equal to or newer than that. Useful
if a particular release of an extension only works on 4.0.x but not
4.2.x.
Takes an optional second argument which allows you to specify a custom
error message. This message is passed to sprintf with two string
arguments, the current RT version and the version you specify.
CAVEATS
* Us the full name when calling RTx method in Makefile.PL; while
"RTx('Foo')" was once supported, it is no longer.
ENVIRONMENT
RTHOME
Path to the RT installation that contains a valid lib/RT.pm.
