SPEC2SCL(1)

✨ NAME ✨

spec2scl — the manual page for spec2scl, bestie. That's it, that's the name, we move.

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so real talk, here's how you run this thing:

usage: spec2scl [-h] [-V] [-i] [-r] [-b] [-k SKIP_FUNCTIONS] [-n | -l SCL_CONTENTS_LIST] [--meta-specfile METAPACKAGE_NAME] [-v VARIABLES] [ARGUMENT [ARGUMENT ...]]

Convert RPM specfile to be SCL ready. That's the whole job. She takes your normie RPM specfile and gives it that SCL makeover 💅

🌸 positional arguments 🌸

• ARGUMENT — the path(s) to the specfile(s). Plural, babes. You can hand her more than one.

🦋 optional arguments 🦋

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. classic.
• -V, --version — shows the spec2scl version, so you know what you're working with.
• -i — convert in place, meaning she replaces the old specfiles with the new generated ones. Mandatory when multiple specfiles are to be converted, so don't skip it if you're batch-processing, or it's giving chaos.
• -r, --no-meta-runtime-dep — don't add the runtime dependency on the scl runtime package. she'll simply not. 🙈
• -b, --no-meta-buildtime-dep — don't add the buildtime dependency on the scl runtime package. same energy, different dependency.
• -k SKIP_FUNCTIONS, --skip-functions SKIP_FUNCTIONS — a comma separated list of transformer functions to skip. tell her which ones to leave alone.
• -n, --no-deps-convert — don't convert dependency tags. Mutually exclusive with -l, so pick a lane bestie, you cannot have both.
• -l SCL_CONTENTS_LIST, --list-file SCL_CONTENTS_LIST — the list of the packages/provides that will be in the SCL, so she can convert Requires/BuildRequires properly. The lines in the file are in form of "pkg-name %{?custom_prefix}", where the prefix part is optional. (yes, the quotes are in the file format. keep them, iykyk.)

👑 metapackage arguments 👑

• --meta-specfile METAPACKAGE_NAME — produce a metapackage specfile based on the metapackage name provided. go check the SCL docs for metapackage naming, fr fr, don't freestyle that part.
• -v VARIABLES, --variables VARIABLES — list of variables separated with comma. Used only with the --meta-specfile option, so don't come at her with -v alone, it's giving nothing.

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

the vibes, demonstrated:

spec2scl [SPECFILE_PATH]

Convert an RPM specfile into an SCL specfile. the classic glow-up ✨

spec2scl -i [SPECFILE_PATH [SPECFILE_PATH ...]]

Convert one or more RPM specfiles into SCL specfiles and replace the original files. bold. fearless. irreversible-ish.

spec2scl --meta-specfile [METAPACKAGE_NAME]

Create a specfile for a metapackage with a name METAPACKAGE_NAME. main character metapackage behavior, honestly. 👑
