NAME

       Module::Install::RTx - RT extension installer

SYNOPSIS

       In the Makefile.PL of the "RT-Extension-Example" module:

           use inc::Module::Install;
           RTx 'RT-Extension-Example';

           requires_rt '4.2.0';
           rt_too_new  '4.4.0';

           WriteAll();

DESCRIPTION

       This Module::Install extension implements several functions for installing RT extensions:

   RTx 'extension name'
       This function arranges for the following directories to be installed, if they exist
       (assuming "RTx('RT-Extension-Example')"):

           ./bin    => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/bin
           ./etc    => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/etc
           ./html   => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/html
           ./lib    => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/lib
           ./po     => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/po
           ./sbin   => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/sbin
           ./static => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/static
           ./var    => $RT::LocalPluginPath/RT-Extension-Example/var

       Accepts an optional argument hashref after the extension name with two possible keys

   deprecated_rt
           If set to a true value, skips the enforced RT-4.0.0 minimum version check

           You should set a perl_version if using this option and requires_rt(), because requires_rt
           only handles figuring our what perl you need if you're on RT 4.0.0 or higher.

   no_readme_generation
           If set to a true value, will not call readme_from on the extension's primary perl module.

   requires_rt version
       Takes one argument, a valid RT version. If an attempt is made to install on an RT than
       that version, it will die before Makefile creation.

   requires_rt_plugin RT::Extension::Example [, version]
       Ensures that the given RT extension (and optional version) is installed in the target RT
       instance; "requires" cannot be used because RT extensions are not in @INC.

   rt_too_new version [, message]
       Takes one argument, a valid RT version, and prevents this module from being installed on
       any version of RT equal to or newer than that.  Useful if a particular release of an
       extension only works on 4.0.x but not 4.2.x.

       Takes an optional second argument which allows you to specify a custom error message. This
       message is passed to sprintf with two string arguments, the current RT version and the
       version you specify.

   remove_files
       If set to a true value, during installation any files listed in a "remove_files" file will
       be removed from the destination directories.  This feature is for removing files that have
       been deleted or moved in the current version and leaving the old version in place when
       upgrading can cause problems.

       RTx looks for a "remove_files" file in the etc/upgrade directory of the distribution. The
       format of the "remove_files" file is as follows:

           package Module::Install::RTx;

           @remove_files = qw(
           html/dir/file_to_remove
           );
           1;

       The file locations are relative to the distribution. The destination directory prefix is
       added automatically.

CAVEATS

       •   Us the full name when calling RTx method in Makefile.PL; while "RTx('Foo')" was once
           supported, it is no longer.

ENVIRONMENT

       RTHOME
           Path to the RT installation that contains a valid lib/RT.pm.

EXAMPLES

       To install an extension which makes use of this installer:

           perl Makefile.PL RTHOME=/opt/rt5

       This will install all subdirs into the $RT::LocalPluginPath dir as configured in
       RT::Generated.

       To install an extension into the (vendor) plugin path:

           perl Makefile.PL RTHOME=/opt/rt5 INSTALLDIRS=vendor

       This will install all subdirs into the $RT::PluginPath which is specifically meant for
       plugins that are installed through other packaging utils like APT or RPM.
