urpm(3) Mageia Package Management urpm(3)NAMEurpm - 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,
} ],
options: hashref of urpm options
several paths:
config: path of urpmi.cfg (/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg)
mediacfgdir: path of mediacfg.d (/etc/urpmi/mediacfg.d)
skiplist: path of skip.list (/etc/urpmi/skip.list),
instlist: path of inst.list (/etc/urpmi/inst.list),
prefer_list: path of prefer.list (/etc/urpmi/prefer.list),
prefer_vendor_list: path of prefer.vendor.list
(/etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list),
private_netrc: path of netrc (/etc/urpmi/netrc),
statedir: state directory (/var/lib/urpmi),
cachedir: cache directory (/var/cache/urpmi),
root: path of the rooted system (when using global urpmi
config),
urpmi_root: path of the rooted system (when both urpmi & rpmdb
are chrooted)
Several subs:
fatal: sub for relaying fatal errors (should popup in GUIes)
error: sub for relaying other errors
log: sub for relaying messages if --verbose
print: sub for always displayed messages, enable to redirect
output for eg: installer
info: sub for messages displayed unless --quiet
All "URPM" methods are available on an urpm object.
urpm->new_parse_cmdline()
Like urpm->new but also parse the command line and parse the
configuration file.
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.
