NAME

urpm - Mageia perl tools to handle the urpmi database

DESCRIPTION

urpm is used by urpmi executables to manipulate packages and media on a Mageia Linux distribution.

The urpm class

urpm->new()

The constructor creates a new urpm object. It's a blessed hash that contains fields from URPM, and also the following fields:

source: { id => src_rpm_file|spec_file }

media: [ { start => int, end => int, name => string, url => string, virtual => bool, media_info_dir => string, with_synthesis => string, no-media-info => bool, iso => string, downloader => string, ignore => bool, update => bool, modified => bool, really_modified => bool, unknown_media_info => bool, } ],

All URPM methods are available on an urpm object.

db_open_or_die($urpm, $b_write_perm)

Open RPM database (RW or not) and die if it fails

register_rpms($urpm, @files)

Register local packages for being installed, keep track of source.

is_delta_installable($urpm, $pkg, $root)

checks whether the delta RPM represented by $pkg is installable wrt the RPM DB on $root. For this, it extracts the rpm version to which the delta applies from the delta rpm filename itself. So naming conventions do matter :)

extract_packages_to_install($urpm, $sources)

Extract package that should be installed instead of upgraded, installing instead of upgrading is useful - for inst.list (cf flag disable_obsolete)

Sources is a hash of id -> source rpm filename.

get_updates_description($urpm, @update_medias)

Get reason of update for packages to be updated. Use all update medias if none given.
