NAME¶
Arch::Backend - Arch backend feature specific functions
SYNOPSIS¶
use Arch::Backend qw(arch_backend is_baz has_file_diffs_cmd);
my $exe = arch_backend();
print "Not in tree, try '$exe init-tree'\n";
my $version = Arch::Backend::arch_backend_version;
print "Using baz $version as a backend\n" if is_baz();
my $cmd = has_file_diffs_cmd()
? "file-diffs"
: "file-diff";
Arch::Util::run_tla($cmd, $filename);
DESCRIPTION¶
A set of helper functions suitable for GNU Arch related projects in Perl.
Higher (object oriented) levels of Arch/Perl library make use of these helper
functions to query certain aspects (like incompatible features) of the actual
arch backend used.
FUNCTIONS¶
The following functions are available:
arch_backend,
arch_backend_name,
arch_backend_version,
is_tla,
is_baz,
has_archive_setup_cmd,
has_file_diffs_cmd,
has_register_archive_name_arg,
has_tree_version_dir_opt,
has_tree_id_cmd,
has_set_tree_version_cmd,
has_cache_feature,
get_cache_config,
has_commit_version_arg,
has_commit_files_separator,
has_revlib_patch_set_dir.
- arch_backend [exe]
- Return or set the arch backend executable, like "/opt/bin/tla"
or "baz-1.3".
By default, the arch backend executable is taken from environment variable
$ARCH_BACKEND (or $TLA, or $BAZ). If no environment variable is set, then
"tla" is used.
- arch_backend_name
- Return the brand name of the arch backend, "tla" or
"baz".
- arch_backend_version
- Return the arch backend version, like "1.3.1".
- is_tla
- Return true if arch_backend_name is "tla".
- is_baz
- Return true if arch_backend_name is "baz".
- has_archive_setup_cmd
- Return true if the arch backend has "archive-setup" command. baz
removed this command.
- has_file_diffs_cmd
- Return true if the arch backend has "file-diffs" command. It was
renamed to "file-diff" in tla-1.3.
- has_register_archive_name_arg
- Return true if the arch backend's "register-archive" command
supports two positional arguments, one of which is archive name. baz-1.3
removed such syntax; the previous baz versions supported this syntax, but
it was useless, since the archive was accessed anyway.
- has_tree_version_dir_opt
- Return true if the arch backend's "tree-version" command
supports "-d" options. This is true for baz.
- has_tree_id_cmd
- Return true if the arch backend has "tree-id" command. This is
true for baz.
- has_set_tree_version_cmd
- Return true if the arch backend has "set-tree-version" command.
baz removed this command and merged it into "tree-version".
- has_cache_feature
- Return true if the arch backend supports Arch Cache feature. This is true
for baz.
- get_cache_config
- Return hash with the following keys: dir - directory of the local cache
(or undef if not applicable).
- has_commit_version_arg
- Return true if the arch backend's "commit" command supports
version argument. baz-1.4 removed this functionality.
- has_commit_files_separator
- Return true if the arch backend's "commit" command requires
"--" argument to separate files. baz-1.4 removed this
separator.
- has_revlib_patch_set_dir
- Return true if the arch backend's creates ,,patch-set subdirectory in
revision library. baz-1.4 removed this functionality.
BUGS¶
This module uses heuristics and does not (intend to) provide the perfect
information. Requires constant updating.
