NAME

CPANPLUS::Dist::SUSE - To build RPM files from cpan for SUSE

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

CPANPLUS::Dist::SUSE is a distribution class to create SUSE packages from CPAN modules, and all its dependencies. This allows you to have the most recent copies of CPAN modules installed, using your package manager of choice, but without having to wait for central repositories to be updated.

You can either install them using the API provided in this package, or manually via rpm.

This is a simple module which inherits from CPANPLUS::Dist::RPM that allows for creating RPM packages under SUSE. In particular, this RPM spec file has been tested in SLES 11.

It also honors Module::Build if Build.PL is in the distribution.

Simple way of creating and installing a module is:

 cpan2dist --verbose --format CPANPLUS::Dist::SUSE --buildprereq --dist-opts="--replacefiles=" --install Module::Builder

"--replacefiles=" can be used when you want to install with rpm option "--replacefiles"

You can also check for CPANPLUS::Dist::Fedora for information.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

format_available

Checks if /etc/SuSE-release file exists
