All,
As I'm trying to create system wide level platform (over 100 machines)
I need to be able to create my own internal CPAN mirror. But one which I can
selectively update from CPAN as an when new modules exist.
It would act as a way of ensuring all machines configured on my network get
their CPAN modules from that local mirror, rather than a CPAN mirror on the
internet. This gives me the advantage of storing inhouse code on their, and
being able to implement Stable tested platforms based on specific versions
of CPAN modules and inhouse Modules.
I've been looking for a week or two now and nowehere can I find information
on how a CPAN mirror works. What is it just a Hierarchy of directories
containing files which the CPAN::Shell Module know's how to ftp to and from?
I don't have any problems mirroring the CPAN sites, I can use the
CPAN::Shell to do this (unless anybody knows a better way, making sure I
keep control of WHEN a file gets upgraded to the new revision), however I do
need help on what my CPAN mirror should look like. Does it interact with CVS
at all?
Any help would be appreciated,
Regards
Marty
