NAME

Youri::Package::RPM::Updater - Update RPM packages

SYNOPSIS

    my $updater = Youri::Package::RPM::Updater->new();
    $updater->update_from_source('foo-1.0-1.src.rpm', '2.0');
    $updater->update_from_spec('foo.spec', '2.0');
    $updater->update_from_repository('foo', '2.0');

DESCRIPTION

This module updates rpm packages. When given an explicit new version, it updates the spec file, and downloads new sources automatically. When not given a new version, it just updates the spec file.

Warning, not every spec file syntax is supported. If you use specific syntax, you'll have to ressort to additional processing with explicit perl expression to evaluate for each line of the spec file.

Here is version update algorithm (only used when building a new version):

find the first definition of version
replace it with new value

Here is release update algorithm:

find the first definition of release
if explicit newrelease parameter given:
- replace value
otherwise:
- extract any macro occuring in the leftmost part (such as %mkrel)
- extract any occurence of release_suffix option in the rightmost part
- if a new version is given:
  - replace with 1
- otherwise:
  - increment by 1

In both cases, both direct definition:

    Version:    X

or indirect definition:

    %define version X
    Version:    %{version}

are supported. Any more complex one is not.
