Spec URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Sysadm-Install/perl-Sysadm-Install... SRPM URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Sysadm-Install/perl-Sysadm-Install... Description:
Have you ever wished for your installation shell scripts to run reproducably, without much programming fuzz, and even with optional logging enabled? Then give up shell programming, use Perl.
"Sysadm::Install" executes shell-like commands performing typical installation tasks: Copying files, extracting tarballs, calling "make". It has a "fail once and die" policy, meticulously checking the result of every operation and calling "die()" immediately if anything fails.
"Sysadm::Install" also supports a *dry_run* mode, in which it logs everything, but suppresses any write actions.
