CPAN::Packager - CPAN::Packager is yet another packager ====================================================== What is CPAN::Packager ======================= CPAN::Packager is a tool to help you make packages from perl modules on CPAN. This makes it so easy to make a perl module into a Redhat/Debian package INSTALLATION ============ CPAN::Packager installation is straightforward. If your CPAN shell is set up, you should just be able to do % cpan CPAN::Packager Download it, unpack it, then build it as per the usual: % perl Makefile.PL % make && make test Then install it: % make install How to use =========== case1: build a module sudo cpan-packager --module Test::Exception --builder Deb --conf conf/config.yaml case2: build multiple modules at a time sudo cpan-packager --modulelist modulelist.txt --builder RPM --conf conf/config.yaml options --module module name (required option) --builder Deb or RPM (optional. default is Deb) --conf configuration file path (required) --always-build always build cpan modules if module is aready installed (optional) --modulelist File containing a list of modules that should be built. (optional) RPM/Deb Packages are generated at ~/.cpanpackager/{deb or rpm} config.yaml is located at github repo. See http://github.com/dann/cpan-packager/tree/master Please see the configuration schema if you want to write config your self. You can see schema like below. perldoc CPAN::Packager::Config::Schema Configure CPAN mirrors ====================== Set cpan mirror uri in your config. CPAN::Packager downloads modules from cpan_mirrors --- global: cpan_mirrors: - file:///home/dann/minicpan - http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/ Use cpan-packager with minicpan (Optional) ============================================= You can use minicpan with CPAN::Packager. At first, you mirror CPAN modules with minicpan. minicpan -r http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/ -l ~/minicpan Set cpan mirrors uri in your config if you want to use minicpan. after that you just use cpan-packager ;) --- global: cpan_mirrors: - file:///home/dann/minicpan Additional setup (For debian users) =================================== Copy conf/debian/rules* to ~/.dh-make-perl directory. copying perllocal.pod is conflited if you dont do that. DESCRIPTION =========== cpan-packager will create the files required to build a debian or redhat source package out of a perl package. This works for most simple packages and is also useful for getting started with packaging perl modules. Given a perl package name, it can also automatically download it from CPAN. BUGS ==== Please report any bugs or feature requests to "<bug-CPAN-Packagerat rt.cpan.org>", or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=CPAN-Packager>.
