README.API

The following packages require perl-RPM4:

(1) iurt
(2) perl-MDV-Repsys [NOT PACKAGED]
(3) perl-Youri-Package-RPM-Builder [NOT PACKAGED]
(4) perl-Youri-Package-RPM-Updater
(5) perl-Youri-Package
(6) mga-youri-submit

notes:
- (5) doesn't use proposes both Youri::Package::URPM and
  Youri::Package::RPM4, and doesn't force usage of any.
- (6) is a fork of perl-Youri-Package, which uses Youri::Package::URPM
  (and so perl-RPM4 is unused but for RPM4::Sign and rpmssign())

here is below the various functions/methods of perl-RPM4 used by the
packages above.
