From: throwaway-a2345s@scotclimb.org.uk Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.announce,comp.lang.perl.modules Subject: Makerpm updated : new features + support for RedHat 7.0 / RPM 4 Date: 9 Feb 2001 23:46:23 GMT I have released a new version of makerpm. Makerpm is software designed to turn perl modules into RPMs. The new version has been tested on RPM 4 systems, and should work on earlier versions as well. New features include - - automatic creation of description information - possibility to use install scripts - semi automatic detection of package documentation This should gradually be making its way round to different CPAN mirrors worldwide. as authors/id/M/MI/MIKEDLR/makerpm0.200.tar.gz P.S. Makerpm is also meant to create PPMs. I don't think I have broken this, but given that I haven't tested it, I probably have. Please send 'patch -u's to me if you would like to fix this. -- <http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~mikedlr/biography.html> Scottish Climbing Archive: <http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~mikedlr/climbing/> Linux/Unix clone@ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/linux/sunsite.unc-mirror/docs/
