CPAN::Packager - CPAN::Packager is yet another packager

What is CPAN::Packager

CPAN::Packager is a tool to help you make packages from perl modules on CPAN. This makes it so easy to make a perl module into a Redhat/Debian package

INSTALLATION

CPAN::Packager installation is straightforward. If your CPAN shell is set up, you should just be able to do

% cpan CPAN::Packager

Download it, unpack it, then build it as per the usual:

% perl Makefile.PL
% make && make test

Then install it:

% make install

How to use

case1: build a module

sudo cpan-packager --module Test::Exception --builder Deb --conf conf/config.yaml

case2: build multiple modules at a time

sudo cpan-packager --modulelist modulelist.txt --builder RPM --conf conf/config.yaml

options --module module name (required option) --builder Deb or RPM (optional. default is Deb) --conf configuration file path (required) --always-build always build cpan modules if module is aready installed (optional) --modulelist File containing a list of modules that should be built. (optional)

RPM/Deb Packages are generated at ~/.cpanpackager/{deb or rpm}

config.yaml is located at github repo.

See http://github.com/dann/cpan-packager/tree/master

Please see the configuration schema if you want to write config your self. You can see schema like below.

perldoc CPAN::Packager::Config::Schema

Configure CPAN mirrors

Set cpan mirror uri in your config. CPAN::Packager downloads modules from cpan_mirrors

---
global:
  cpan_mirrors:
    - file:///home/dann/minicpan
    - http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/

Use cpan-packager with minicpan (Optional)

You can use minicpan with CPAN::Packager. At first, you mirror CPAN modules with minicpan.

minicpan -r http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/ -l ~/minicpan

Set cpan mirrors uri in your config if you want to use minicpan. after that you just use cpan-packager ;)

---
global:
  cpan_mirrors:
    - file:///home/dann/minicpan

Additional setup (For debian and ubuntu users)

Copy conf/debian/rules* to ~/.dh-make-perl directory. copying perllocal.pod is conflited if you dont do that.

DESCRIPTION

cpan-packager will create the files required to build a debian or redhat source package out of a perl package. This works for most simple packages and is also useful for getting started with packaging perl modules. Given a perl package name, it can also automatically download it from CPAN.

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to "", or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=CPAN-Packager. I will be notified, and then you’ll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
