Slackware::Slackget::Base 0.16

Slackware::Slackget::Base is a Perl module which centralize some base methods useful to slack-get.

SYNOPSIS

This module centralize bases tasks like package directory compilation, etc. This class is mainly designed to be a wrapper so it can change a lot before the release.

use Slackware::Slackget::Base;

my $base = Slackware::Slackget::Base->new();
my $packagelist = $base->compil_packages_directory('/var/log/packages/');
$packagelist = $base->load_list_from_xml_file('installed.xml');

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Take no arguments.

my $base = Slackware::Slackget::Base->new();

FUNCTIONS

ls

take a directory as argument and return an array wich contain all things in this directory.

my @config_files = $base->ls('/etc/slack-get/') ;

dir2files

take at leat one directory in argument and recursively follow all subdirectories. Return an array containing all files encounter but WITHOUT symblic links.

my @config_files = $base->dir2files('/etc','/usr/local/etc', "/$ENV{HOME}/etc/") ;

compil_packages_directory

take a directory where are store installed packages files and return a Slackware::Slackget::PackageList object

my $packagelist = $base->compil_packages_directory('/var/log/packages/');

load_installed_list_from_xml_file

Load the data for filling the list from an XML file. Return a Slackware::Slackget::PackageList. This method is design for reading a installed.xml file.

$packagelist = $base->load_installed_list_from_xml_file('installed.xml');

load_packages_list_from_xml_file

Load the data for filling the list from an XML file. Return a hashref built on this model :

my $hashref = {
'key' => Slackware::Slackget::PackageList,
...
};

Ex:

my $hashref = {
'slackware' => blessed(Slackware::Slackget::PackageList),
'slacky' => blessed(Slackware::Slackget::PackageList),
'audioslack' => blessed(Slackware::Slackget::PackageList),
'linuxpackages' => blessed(Slackware::Slackget::PackageList),
};

This method is design for reading a packages.xml file.

$hashref = $base->load_packages_list_from_xml_file('packages.xml');

load_media_list_from_xml_file

Load a server list from a medias.xml file.

$serverlist = $base->load_server_list_from_xml_file('servers.xml');

load_server_list_from_xml_file

An allias for load_media_list_from_xml_file(). Given for backward compatibility
set_include_file_list

By default the file list is not include in the installed.xml for some size consideration (on my system including the file list into installed.xml make him grow 28 times ! It passed from 400 KB to 11 MB),

So you can use this method to include the file list into installed.xml. BE carefull, to use it BEFORE compil_packages_directory() !

$base->set_include_file_list();
$packagelist = $base->compil_packages_directory();

ldd

Like the UNIX command ldd. Do a ldd system call on a list of files and return an array of dependencies.

my @dependecies = $base->ldd('/usr/bin/gcc', '/usr/bin/perl', '/bin/awk') ;
