NAME
Alien::Package::Tgz - an object that represents a tgz package
DESCRIPTION
This is an object class that represents a tgz package, as used in
Slackware. It also allows conversion of raw tar files. It is derived
from Alien::Package.
CLASS DATA
scripttrans
Translation table between canoical script names and the names used
in tgz's.
METHODS
checkfile
Detect tgz files by their extension.
install
Install a tgz with installpkg. Pass in the filename of the tgz to
install.
installpkg (a slackware program) is used because I'm not sanguine
about just untarring a tgz file. It might trash a system.
scan
Scan a tgz file for fields. Has to scan the filename for most of
the information, since there is little useful metadata in the file
itself.
unpack
Unpack tgz.
prep
Adds a populated install directory to the build tree.
build
Build a tgz.
