Does this need anything special to support Perl 6 namespace ownership or would it just be a duplicate of the Perl 5 "schema"? Or, from the outside again: What sort of indexes are required and thus what data do they need the gatekeeper to manage? There was a mention (by japhb) on #toolchain about parrot modules being hostable on multiple servers, which required the client to various metadata from multiple sources. Also: http://blogs.perl.org/users/geoffrey_broadwell/2009/12/welcome-and-say-hello-to-my-friend-plumage.html >, and then a PAUSE-like thing on top of that. If we require a metafile for Perl 6 distributions, could the p6-ness potentially be auto-detected and handled by the same upload tool? --Eric -- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." --Donald Knuth --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
