urpm - Mageia perl tools to handle the urpmi database
urpm is used by urpmi executables to manipulate packages and media on a Mageia Linux distribution.
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.
Open RPM database (RW or not) and die if it fails
Register local packages for being installed, keep track of source.
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 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 reason of update for packages to be updated. Use all update medias if none given.
The URPM package is used to manipulate at a lower level synthesis and rpm files.
