+=head1 NAME
+
+URPM - Perl module to manipulate RPM files
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use URPM;
+
+ # using the local RPM database
+ my $db = URPM::DB::open();
+ $db->traverse(sub {
+ my ($package) = @_; # this is a URPM::Package object
+ print $package->filename, "\n";
+ # ...
+ });
+
+ # loading and parsing a synthesis file
+ my $urpm = new URPM;
+ $urpm->parse_synthesis("synthesis.sample.cz");
+ $a->traverse(sub {
+ # retrieve all packages from the dependency list
+ # ...
+ });
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The URPM module allows you to manipulate RPM files, RPM header files and
+hdlist files and manage them in memory. It is notably used by the B<urpmi>
+utility. It provides four classes : C<URPM>, C<URPM::DB>, C<URPM::Package>,
+and C<URPM::Transaction>.
+
+=head2 The URPM class
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new()
+
+The constructor creates a new, empty URPM object. It's a blessed hash that
+contains two fields:
+
+B<depslist> is an arrayref containing the list of depending packages (which are
+C<URPM::Package> objects).
+
+B<provides> is an hashref containing as keys the list of items provided by the
+URPM object.
+
+=item read_config_files()
+
+Force the re-reading of the RPM configuration files.
+
+=item ranges_overlap($range1, $range2 [, $nopromoteepoch])
+
+This utility function compares to version ranges, in order to calculate
+dependencies properly. The ranges have roughly the form
+
+ [<|<=|==|=>|>] [epoch:]version[-release]
+
+where epoch, version and release are RPM-style version numbers.
+
+If the optional parameter $nopromoteepoch is true, and if the 2nd range has no
+epoch while the first one has one, then the 2nd range is assumed to have an
+epoch == 0.
+
+=item $urpm->parse_synthesis($file, [ callback => sub {...} ])
+
+This method gets the B<depslist> and the B<provides> from a synthesis file
+and adds them to the URPM object.
+
+=item $urpm->parse_hdlist($file, %options)
+
+This method gets the B<depslist> and the B<provides> from a hdlist file
+and adds them to the URPM object. Allowed options are
+
+ packing => 0 / 1
+ callback => sub { ... }
+
+=item $urpm->parse_rpm($file, %options)
+
+This method gets the B<depslist> and the B<provides> from an RPM file
+and adds them to the URPM object. Allowed options are
+
+ packing => 0 / 1
+ keep_all_tags => 0 / 1
+ callback => sub { ... }
+
+=item $urpm->verify_rpm($file, %options)
+
+Verifies an RPM file.
+Recognized options are:
+
+ db => $urpm_db
+ nopgp => 0 / 1
+ nogpg => 0 / 1
+ nomd5 => 0 / 1
+ norsa => 0 / 1
+ nodsa => 0 / 1
+ nodigests => 0 / 1
+ tmp_filename => '...'
+ nosignatures => 0 / 1 (equivalent to nopgp = nogpg = norsa = nodsa = 1)
+
+=item $urpm->import_pubkey(%options)
+
+ db => $urpm_db
+ root => '...'
+ block => '...'
+ filename => '...'

+=back
+
+=head2 The URPM::DB class
+
+=over 4
+
+=item open($prefix, $write_perm)
+
+Returns a new C<URPM::DB> object pointing on the local RPM database.
+
+$prefix defaults to C<""> and indicates the RPM DB root directory prefix if
+any. (See the B<--root> option to rpm(1)).
+
+$write_perm is a boolean that defaults to false, and that indicates whether
+the RPM DB should be open in read/write mode.
+
+=item rebuild($prefix)
+
+Rebuilds the RPM database (like C<rpm --rebuilddb>). $prefix defaults to C<"">.
+
+=item $db->traverse($callback)
+
+Executes the specified callback (a code reference) for each package
+in the DB, passing a C<URPM::Package> object as argument the callback.
+
+=item $db->traverse_tag($tag,$names,$callback)
+
+$tag may be one of C<name>, C<whatprovides>, C<whatrequires>, C<whatconflicts>,
+C<group>, C<triggeredby>, or C<path>.
+$names is a reference to an array, holding the acceptable values of the said
+tag for the searched variables.
+Then, $callback is called for each matching package in the DB.
+
+=item $db->create_transaction($prefix)
+
+Creates and returns a new transaction (an C<URPM::Transaction> object) on the
+specified DB. For $prefix, cf L<open>.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 The URPM::Package class
+
+Most methods of C<URPM::Package> are accessors for the various properties
+of an RPM package.

+
+Adds a package to be installed to the transaction represented by $trans.
+$pkg is an C<URPM::Package> object.
+
+Options are:
+
+ update => 0 / 1 : indicates whether this is an upgrade
+ excludepath => [ ... ]
+

+
+Adds a package to be erased to the transaction represented by $trans.
+$name is the name of the package.
+

+
+Checks that all dependencies can be resolved in this transaction.
+
+Options are:
+
+ translate_message => 0 / 1 (currently ignored.)
+
+=item $trans->order()
+
+Determines package order in a transaction set according to dependencies.
+Returns a boolean indicating success.
+
+=item $trans->run($data, %options)
+
+Runs the transaction.
+
+$data is an arbitrary user-provided piece of data to be passed to callbacks.
+
+Recognized options are:
+
+ callback_close => sub { ... }
+ callback_inst => sub { ... }
+ callback_open => sub { ... }
+ callback_trans => sub { ... }
+ callback_uninst => sub { ... }
+ delta => used for progress callbacks (trans, uninst, inst)
+ excludedocs => 0 / 1
+ force => 0 / 1
+ nosize => 0 / 1
+ oldpackage => 0 / 1
+ test => 0 / 1
+ translate_message
+
+They roughly correspond to command-line options to rpm(1).
