README

PAR-Repository
==============

This module is intended for creation and maintenance of PAR repositories.
A PAR repository is collection of .par archives which contain Perl code
and associated libraries for use on specific platforms. In the most common
case, these archives differ from CPAN distributions in that they ship the
(possibly compiled) output of "make" in the "blib/" subdirectory of the
CPAN distribution's build directory.

You can access a PAR repository using the PAR::Repository::Client module
or the PAR module which provides syntactic sugar around the client.
PAR allows you to load libraries from repositories on demand.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install

DEPENDENCIES

Change Log

0.20  Wed Aug 26 15:19 2009
    - Many temporary-file-locking fixes to make
      PAR::Repository work on FreeBSD (Slaven Rezic)
    - Fix to the test count for MD5 checksums (Slaven Rezic)
    - Documentation/POD fixes (Slaven Rezic)
    - Dependency fix for File::Temp. Require 0.19 (Slaven Rezic)

0.19  Thu Feb 19 16:48 2009
    - Promote to stable version.

0.18_01  Mon Feb  2 02:46 2009
    - Add ignore_provides switch to package injection.
    - Add static dependencies
    - Remove warning in Makefile.PL about symlink support
    - Fix bug in _update_info_version.
    - Add _create_dbm as an abstraction.
    - Slight fixes to 'parrepo' (verbosity)

0.17  Tue Jan 13 19:48 2009
    - Do a chmod(644) of the dbm checksums file after creation.

0.16_02  Thu Oct 23 20:51 2008
    - Occasionally, using defined($hash->{$foo}), we were inserting bogus
      records into the dbs.
    - Archive injection/removal test with symlink conversion in between
    - Slight refactoring of the test code.

0.16_01  Mon Oct 21 00:16 2008
    - Support for running without symlinks finally arrived!
    - fake_symlinks option to the constructor (default if
      symlinks not available)
    - convert_symlinks option to the constructor for converting
      existing repositories with symlinks to those without.
    - Fix to the ::DBM docs: the symlinks DB doesn't have paths.
    - Optimize the symlinks db space usage after deleting from it.
    - Expose the new options with parrepo (with a new command
      convert_symlinks, too)
    - Much improved test suite.
    - No longer use base if @ISA is ample.

0.16     Thu Sep  4 16:21 2008
    - Fix the documentation in ::DBM on the symlinks database.
    - Fix the name of the env. variable for disabling the
      no-symlinks warning on installation. (Cosimo Streppone)
    - Removed the PAR::Repository::ScanPAR module and use the
      PAR::Indexer module from CPAN instead. PAR::Indexer
      is essentially just PAR::Repository::ScanPAR, but usable
      by other distributions.
    - Fixed fallback to Digest::Perl::MD5
    - Finally add some meaningful tests.

0.15     Sun Aug 10 11:48 2008
    - Properly close scripts dbm on DESTROY.
    - Calculate DBM checkums.
    - Require DBM::Deep 1.0012: No more XS dependency.

0.14     Sat Nov  4 22:47 2006
    - Fixed a bug during injection.
    - META.yml now conforms to spec. 1.20.
    - Now including t/00podcover.t

0.13     Fri Sep 15 10:50 2006
    - Broke out PAR::Repository::Query into its own distribution
      so that PAR::Repository and PAR::Repository::Client can share
      the same querying interface.
    - Slight change to the interface!
      modules_dbm(), symlinks_dbm(), and scripts_dbm() now all return
      the name of the temporary file as second return value in order
      to make *_dbm() work consistently across PAR::Repository::Query
      uses.

0.12     Sun Aug 28 10:31 2006
    - Explicitly depending on PAR::Dist 0.18.
    - Added optional POD tests.
    - Fixed spelling error in query output of parrepo

0.11     Sat Aug 28 19:18 2006
    - Relaxed the "query dist" command syntax a bit.

0.10     Sat Aug 28 18:26 2006
    - Implemented querying.
      --> Added Query.pm
      --> Added "query script", "query module" and "query dist" to parrepo

0.03     Thu Aug 10 18:01 2006

    - Fixed a dangerous bug in the remove() method. (It didn't work
      correctly for symlinks before!)

      of information now works.

0.02     Thu Aug 10 15:00 2006

    - Checks for compatible repository versions when opening a
      repository.
