NAME

WWW::AUR::URI - Generate dynamic URIs for accessing the AUR

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::AUR::URI qw(:all);
  
  my $uri = pkgfile_uri('perl-www-aur');
  $uri = pkgbuild_uri('perl-www-aur');
  $uri = pkgsubmit_uri();
  $uri = pkg_uri('SB' => 'n', 'O' => 1234, 'https' => 'YUP');
  
  # Override Scheme to use http...
  local $WWW::AUR::URI::Scheme = 'http';
  my $httpsuri = pkgfile_uri('perl-www-aur');
  print $httpsuri # "http://aur.archlinux.org/..."

DESCRIPTION

This is a collection of functions used internally by other modules in the WWW-AUR distribution. For advanced users only. Well... sorta.

EXPORTS

This module exports nothing by default. You must explicitly import functions or import the all tag to import all functions.

  use WWW::AUR::URI qw( pkgfile_uri pkgbuild_uri pkgsubmit_uri pkg_uri rpc_uri );
  use WWW::AUR::URI qw( :all );

FUNCTIONS

pkgfile_uri

  $URI = pkgfile_uri( $PKGNAME )

$PKGNAME

The name of the package.

$URI

The standard URI to the source package tarball.

pkgbuild_uri

  $URI = pkgbuild_uri( $PKGNAME )

$PKGNAME

The name of the package.

$URI

The standard URI to the conveniently extracted PKGBUILD file.

pkg_uri

  $URI = pkg_uri( %QUERY_PARAMS )

This generates a URI for the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ webpage. The one that shows package information and comments, etc.

%QUERY_PARAMS

You can supply whatever query parameters that you want. You might want to look at the AUR's HTML source to learn how they work.

$URI

The URI to packages/ with query parameters appended.

pkgsubmit_uri

  $URI = pkgsubmit_uri( )

This usually returns https://aur.archlinux.org/submit/ but can be changed with $WWW::AUR::HOST and $WWW::AUR::URI::Scheme.

$URI

The URI used for submitting packages.

rpc_uri

  $URI = rpc_uri( $METHOD, @ARGS )

Generates a URI for the http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php page.

$METHOD

The RPC "method" to use. Must be either search, info, multiinfo, or msearch.

@ARG

The RPC "arguments" to give to the "method". multiinfo is the only "method" that uses all of the arguments given. The other methods only use the first argument and ignore the rest.

$URI

The URI to the rpc.php page with query parameters in place.

PACKAGE VARIABLES

Scheme

This scalar contains the URI scheme to be inserted into all generated URIs. The default value is "https".

Example

  # This prints a URI starting with http://
  local $WWW::AUR::URI::Scheme = 'http';
  print pkgbuild_uri('perl-www-aur'), "\n";
