💖 YUM::RepoQuery 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to YUM::RepoQuery — a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the man pages, and she is so useful. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

YUM::RepoQuery — query a YUM repository for package information 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.002

yes she's baby. we'll get to that. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use YUM::RepoQuery;

my $repo = YUM::RepoQuery->new(
    # short tag to id the repo with
    id  => 'f9-updates-src'
    # uri to the repository
    uri => 'ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/9/SRPMS',
);

look at her go. two args and you're in. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

YUM::RepoQuery takes the URI to a package repository with YUM metadata, and lets you query what packages — and which versions of those packages — are available in that repo. it's giving "I just want to know what's in here" energy and honestly? valid.

WARNING: This is a very early, primitive package. "Release early, release often", right? :) 😭

she said it, not me. but she's honest about it and that's iconic.

🔥 INTERFACE 🔥

"Release Early, Release Often" 🌈

There's a bunch more that we can do here (not the least of which is documentation!). As I get time, I'll be updating and adding more; please feel free to drop a line with patches / requests either at my email or (preferably) at this module's rt tracker address (bug-yum-repoquery@rt.cpan.org). 🫶

🧚 METHODS 🧚

  • id — (Required) The id one refers to this repo as. Used mainly in looking for existing yum cache directories under /var/tmp/.
  • uri — (Required) The URI of the repository.

other

packages

An array of all packages in this repo. the whole roster, bestie. ⭐

package_count

has_package (str)

When called with a package name, returns true if that package exists in this repository.

get_package (str)

Given a package name, returns the row object corresponding to it.

💀 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS 💀

No bugs have been reported. 🙈

There's a lot of room for improvement here; a better set of accessors + tests would certainly be nice. (real.)

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-yum-repoquery@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org>.
