RPM::Spec - A very simplistic read-only method of accessing RPM spec files

    use RPM::Spec;

    my $spec = RPM::Spec->new('path/to/my.spec');

    say 'Version is: ' . $spec->version;
    say 'Spec has an epoch' if $spec->has_epoch;

WARNING: This code is actively being worked on, and the API may change.

RPM::Spec provides simplistic access to the different bits of information a spec file provides... It is basically a collection of different parsing routines that were scattered through a bunch of other modules.

new(specfile => [Str|File])

Create a new RPM::Specfile object. The only required parameter is 'specfile', which is either a string or Path::Class::File object pointing to the location of the specfile.

These methods each return the value of the given tag. If the tag is not present, undef is returned.

license

epoch

release

version

source0

Note this will pick up from either of "Source" or "Source0" tags.

name

url

summary

middle

The "middle" of a spec; e.g. everything from the first %description until the changelog starts.

Documentation as this interface is likely to change in the Very Near Future.

content()

Returns an array of strings representing the specfile.

has_content

Is the file empty?

num_lines_in_content

Returns the line count of the specfile.

grep_content(sub { ... })

Given a coderef, greps through the content with it. See also grep.

Macros are not evaluated. e.g., if "Release: 1%{?dist}" is in your spec file, "1%{?dist}" will be returned by release().

We can't make any changes.
