This is the README file for Ovid, which recursively builds CPAN modules and all dependent modules as RPM files. Each RPM that Ovid generates lists all its required files so rpm tools like apt-get (the rpm version), urpm, yum and others can find and install them as dependencies. Ovid puts an end to manual dependency chasing madness! INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Alternately, if you are on an RPM based system, type the following to build an RPM file: rpmbuild -ta Ovid-.tar.gz For a version 0.01, you would type rpmbuild -ta Ovid-0.01.tar.gz After the RPM is built, type: rpm -i /path/to/rpm/file DEPENDENCIES This module requires that the CPAN module be installed and configured. It also uses the following standard perl modules: Exporter File::Basename POSIX File::Copy COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2004 Gyepi Sam This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
