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/rt4

   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/rt4 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.
