NAME

       App::Pinto::Command::pull - pull archives from upstream repositories

VERSION

       version 0.097

SYNOPSIS

         pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT pull [OPTIONS] TARGET ...

DESCRIPTION

       This command locates packages in your upstream repositories and then pulls the distributions providing
       those packages into your repository and registers them on a stack.  Then it recursively locates and pulls
       all the distributions that are necessary to satisfy their prerequisites.  You can also request to
       directly pull particular distributions.

       When locating packages, Pinto first looks at the packages that already exist in the local repository,
       then Pinto looks at the packages that are available on the upstream repositories.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       Arguments are the targets that you want to pull.  Targets can be specified as packages (with or without a
       minimum version number) or a distributions.  For example:

         Foo::Bar                                 # Pulls any version of Foo::Bar
         Foo::Bar~1.2                             # Pulls Foo::Bar 1.2 or higher
         SHAKESPEARE/King-Lear-1.2.tar.gz         # Pulls a specific distribuion
         SHAKESPEARE/tragedies/Hamlet-4.2.tar.gz  # Ditto, but from a subdirectory

       You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN.  In that case, blank lines and lines that look
       like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or ';') will be ignored.

COMMAND OPTIONS

       --cascade
           !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!

           When  searching  for  a  package  (or  one of its prerequisites), always take the latest satisfactory
           version of the package found amongst all the upstream repositories, rather than just taking the first
           satisfactory version that is found.  Remember that Pinto only searches the upstream repositories when
           the local repository does not already contain a satisfactory version of the package.

       --dry-run
           Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any  changes  to  the  repository.   Use  this
           option to see how upgrades would potentially impact the stack.

       --no-fail
           !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!

           Normally, failure to pull a target (or its prerequisites) causes the command to immediately abort and
           rollback  the  changes to the repository.  But if "--no-fail" is set, then only the changes caused by
           the failed target (and its  prerequisites)  will  be  rolled  back  and  the  command  will  continue
           processing the remaining targets.

           This option is useful if you want to throw a list of targets into a repository and see which ones are
           problematic.   Once  you've  fixed  the  broken  ones, you can throw the whole list at the repository
           again.

       --recurse
       --no-recurse
           Recursively pull any distributions required to satisfy prerequisites for the  targets.   The  default
           value for this option can be configured in the pinto.ini configuration file for the repository (it is
           usually set to 1).  To disable recursion, use "--no-recurse".

       --message=TEXT
       -m TEXT
           Use  TEXT  as  the  revision  history  log  message.  If you do not use the "--message" option or the
           "--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the message via your text  editor.
           Use the "EDITOR" or "VISUAL" environment variables to control which editor is used.  A log message is
           not  required  whenever  the "--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield any changes to
           the repository.

       --pin
           Pins the packages to the stack, so they cannot be changed until you unpin them.  Only the packages in
           the requested targets will be pinned -- packages in prerequisites will not be pinned.   However,  you
           may pin them separately with the pin command if you so desire.

       --stack=NAME
       -s NAME
           Puts all the packages onto the stack with the given NAME.  Defaults to the name of whichever stack is
           currently marked as the default stack.  Use the stacks command to see the stacks in the repository.

       --use-default-message
       -M  Use  the  default value for the revision history log message.  Pinto will generate a semi-informative
           log message just based on the command and its  arguments.   If  you  set  an  explicit  message  with
           "--message", the "--use-default-message" option will be silently ignored.

       --with-development-prerequisites
       --wd
           Also   pull  development  prerequisites  so  you'll  have  everything  you  need  to  work  on  those
           distributions, in the event that you  need  to  patch  them  in  the  future.   Be  aware  that  most
           distributions do not actually declare their development prerequisites.
