NAME

Alien::fpm - Find or install fpm

SYNOPSIS

use Alien::fpm;

use Env qw( @PATH @GEM_PATH );

unshift @PATH, Alien::fpm->bin_dir;
unshift @GEM_PATH, Alien::fpm->fpm_gem_home;

system('fpm --verbose -s cpan -t rpm Fennec');

DESCRIPTION

This package can be used by other Perl modules that require fpm.

On a share install, by default, fpm is installed from RubyGems.org. Set ALIEN_FPM_GIT_URL to install from a git repository instead.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

ALIEN_FPM_VERSION

When set, requires the specified version of fpm. On the gem path, this passes -v VERSION to gem fetch. On the git path, this derives the git tag vVERSION as the branch unless ALIEN_FPM_GIT_BRANCH is explicitly set.

ALIEN_FPM_GIT_URL

When set, fpm will be installed from a git repository instead of from RubyGems.org. The value should be a URL that git clone accepts.

ALIEN_FPM_GIT_BRANCH

When set alongside ALIEN_FPM_GIT_URL, the specified branch or tag will be checked out. If not set, the repository's default branch is used.
