NAME
Perl::Dist::Strawberry::Repository - The repository that is used for Perl::Dist::Strawberry.
DESCRIPTION
This documentation describes the repository that Perl::Dist::Strawberry uses, and the branches that are currently being used as of September 2009.
REPOSITORY
Perl::Dist::Strawberry is currently on Adam Kennedy's "Open Repository" for CPAN authors, at http://svn.ali.as/cpan/
My understanding is that if you're a CPAN author, you can get commit access to it by asking Adam Kennedy for it. His e-mail address is adamk@cpan.org.
If you aren't a CPAN author and need commit access for Perl::Dist::Strawberry, please e-mail me with what you'd like to do (a patch would be nice to see) and I'll recommend to him that you be given access.
In any case, before committing anything more than minor changes to the Perl-Dist-Strawberry trunk or branches, please e-mail me. I'll probably say yes, but I need to know what you're planning to do, so that I don't accidentally step on your changes.
You may wish to work on your own branch, and then communicate with me to get it merged into the trunk, by doing:
svn cp http://svn.ali.as/trunk/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/ http://svn.ali.as/branches/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/<branch_name>BRANCHES
The trunk is currently unstable at the moment, due to the fact that the code underneath is in the process of changing from using Object::InsideOut and Object::Tiny to Moose.
Yes, I know Moose is "heavy" in the dependencies and initial loading time. The problems are that Object::Tiny is a little TOO tiny for what I need, and Object::InsideOut objects that contain other Object::InsideOut objects are very difficult to make Storable, which breaks checkpointing.
Plus, with Moose, I gain the ability to check constructor parameters better, the ability to extend logging, and the ability to factor out the XML generation and handling to another distribution in a sane matter.
So here are the 2 branches:
Trunk
Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/
The trunk is currently working with Perl::Dist::WiX 1.000, although this will change soon.
"Updated WiX" branch.
Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/branches/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/Updated-WiX/
This branch is going to be merged into trunk soon, and works with the trunk version of Perl::Dist::WiX.
"Vendorperl"
Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/branches/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/vendorperl2/)
This is the current "work" branch" and includes code for having modules provided by Strawberry Perl install into a "vendor" directory, instead of using the "site" directories.
