NAME
mcpani -- A command line tool to manage a CPAN Mini Mirror.
SYNOPSIS
mcpani [options] < --add | --update | --mirror | --inject > Commands: --add Add a new package to the repository --module Name of the module to add --authorid Author ID of the module --modversion Version number of the module --file tar.gz file of the module --update Update local CPAN mirror and inject modules --mirror Update local CPAN mirror from remote --inject Add modules from repository to CPAN mirror Options: -h, --help This synopsis -H, --man Detailed description -l, --local local location for CPAN::Mini Mirror -r, --remote CPAN mirror to mirror from -p, --passive Enable passive ftp for mirroring. -v, --verbose verbose output -V, --version Version information. --signing-key See CPAN::Checksums $SIGNING_KEY
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--add Add a module to the repository for later inclusion in the CPAN Mini mirror. The add command requires the following parameters: --module This is the name of the module (ie CPAN::Mini::Inject). --authorid A CPAN 'like' author ID for the module. The author ID does not need to exist on CPAN. --modversion Version number of the module. This must match the version number in the file name. --all-in-meta --discover-packages "add" in CPAN::Mini::Inject adds all modules found in the file. These options remain for backward compatibility and do nothing. --file File name and path of the module. The file name must follow the standard CPAN naming convention (the resulting file from a "make tardist"). Example: mcpani --add --module CPAN::Mini::Inject --authorid SSORICHE --modversion 0.01 --file ./CPAN-Mini-Inject-0.01.tar.gz --update Update your local CPAN Mini mirror from a CPAN site. Once completed add the modules contained in the repository to it. This is the same as running "mcpani --mirror" followed by "mcpani --inject" --mirror Update the local CPAN Mini mirror from CPAN. --inject Add the repository modules into the CPAN Mini mirror. -l, --local A local directory to store the CPAN Mini mirror in. Specifying this option overrides the value in the config file. -r, --remote A CPAN site to create the local CPAN Mini mirror from. -v, --verbose Display verbose processing information -V, --version Display version information.
CONFIGURATION FILE
mcpani uses a simple configuration file in the following format: local: /www/CPAN remote: ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/CPAN repository: /work/mymodules passive: yes dirmode: 0755 Description of options: • local location to store local CPAN::Mini mirror (*REQUIRED*) • remote CPAN site(s) to mirror from. Multiple sites can be listed, with spaces between them. (*REQUIRED*) • repository Location to store modules to add to the local CPAN::Mini mirror. • passive Enable passive FTP. • dirmode Set the permissions of created directories to the specified mode (octal value). The default value is based on the umask (if supported). mcpani will search the following four places in order: • file pointed to by the environment variable MCPANI_CONFIG • $HOME/.mcpani/config • /usr/local/etc/mcpani • /etc/mcpani
