WWW::AUR Description
API for the Archlinux User Repository website The Archlinux User Repository is a relatively simple website that houses user-submitted packages for ArchLinux. These "source packages" merely contain what is required to build the package, unlike Archlinux's official repository which house binary packages.WWW::AUR is a Perl module that provides an interface for the straight-forward AUR user as well as for AUR author, aka package maintainers. The goal is to be able to do anything with this module that you could with a web browser.The WWW::AUR::Package module also allows the module user to download and build source packages using makepkg. Installation is left up to the module user and is not implemented in this module.SYNOPSIS use WWW::AUR; my $aur = WWW::AUR->new( basepath => '/tmp/aurtmp' ); my $pkg = $aur->find( 'perl-www-aur' ); # download_size() can check the file size without downloading... printf "Preparing to download source package file (%d bytes).\n", $pkg->download_size; $pkg->download; printf "Downloaded pkgfile to %s.\n", $pkg->src_pkg_path; $pkg->extract; # calls download() if you didn't printf "Extracted pkgfile to %s.\n", $pkg->src_dir_path; $pkg->build; # calls extract() if you didn't printf "Built binary pkgfile and saved to %s.\n", $pkg->bin_pkg_path; my $who = $pkg->maintainer(); printf "%s is maintained by %s.\n", $pkg->name, $who->name; print "Here is all of their maintained packages:\n"; for my $otherpkg ( $who->packages ) { printf " - %s\n", $otherpkg->name; } my $login = $aur->login( 'myname', 'mypassword' ) or die "Failed to login as myname, what a shock"; $login->vote( 'my-favorite-package' ); $login->disown( 'i-hate-this-package' ); $login->upload( '../a-new-package-file.src.pkg.tar.gz', 'lib' ); print "Iterating through ALL packages...\n"; my $iter = $aur->packages; while ( my $pkgobj = $iter->next ) { my %info = $pkgobj->info; print "$info{name} -- $info{version}\n"; } Requirements: · Perl
