NAME

Perl::Dist::WiX::Repository - The repository that is used for Perl::Dist::WiX.

DESCRIPTION

This documentation describes the repository that Perl::Dist::WiX uses, and the branches that are currently being used as of March 2010.

REPOSITORY

Perl::Dist::WiX 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::WiX, please e-mail me with what you'd like to do (a patch would be nice) 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-WiX trunk or current 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-WiX/ http://svn.ali.as/branches/Perl-Dist-WiX/<branch_name>

BRANCHES

Trunk

Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Perl-Dist-WiX/

The trunk right now has 3 goals for April 2010:

  1. Relocatability (being able to install Strawberry Perl to any location). This work is being done on the trunk.

    A perl script for .zip file relocation has been included, and it is temporarily being used in the .msi as well. A custom action will be included post-April 2010 Beta 1.

    This only works with 5.11.x versions of perl or above at the present time (there is a bug files on rt.perl.org on 5.10.1.)

  2. 5.12.x support, once the 5.12.0 version of perl is released. Currently 5.11.5 is the supported development version, in order to help prepare for this.

  3. Updating toolchain for gcc 4.4.3 from, to go along with 5.12.x support. Most of this has been completed.

  4. Updated libraries, built with gcc 4.4.3. Most of this has been completed, as well.

    The 32-bit libraries will work with the old gcc 3.3.5 toolchain, as well.

January 2009 maintenance branch.

Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/branches/Perl-Dist-WiX/January-2009-maintenance/

This branch exists for the sole purpose of rebuilding Strawberry Perl 5.8.9 and 5.10.1 if there are major problems before April 2010. Changes on this branch are HIGHLY discouraged.

This branch will be deleted upon the release of the April 2010 versions of Strawberry Perl, and a new branch will be created to maintain that version.
