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 August 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 October 2010:

  1. Making the supported versions of Perl pluggable. This way, the Perl::Dist::WiX distribution itself is smaller.

  2. 5.12.2 support (when it comes out).

  3. Making what distroprefs we have inheritable (probably by making a subdirectory of the build directory to copy them into.)

  4. Being able to build from a merge module in a relocated directory.

  5. Being able to have a "feature tree".

  6. Fixing other bugs, including adding support for Moose 1.09.

April 2010 maintenance branch.

Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/branches/Perl-Dist-WiX/July-2010-maintenance/

This branch exists for the sole purpose of rebuilding Strawberry Perl 5.10.1 and 5.12.1 if there are major problems before October 2010. Changes on this branch are HIGHLY discouraged.

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