What does this mean?
- latest? this term looks like maintenance work.
- what is authorized?
latest means that it will fetch metadata for whatever is deemed the
most recent non-dev release, which is really the only sane option to
go for if you want a list of modules that currently pertain to the
distribution. You could request *all* releases and then find a union
of elements ... but that would be both erroneous and very time
consuming.
It doesn't even list Moose for Moose?
Its probably falling outside the initial 10 results, I forgot it did that,
02packages.details.txt.gz lists 72 package names for Moose-2.0602.
Need to bolt on a { size: 100 } to the query to expand how may
results it will return.
Updated remotesid.py to use that, correctly add Moose in the diff now !
curl -XPOST 'http://api.metacpan.org/module/_search' -d '

module.name,
release

I think they should be competent enough to understand the effects. If you want to provide a patch to the news item then, adding whatever elaboration you think is necessary, then I'll gladly apply it. Indeed, the news item already refers people to the manpage for more information. While a good gentooer certainly appreciates good documentation, it's not about handholding, and from my point of view the manpage documentation really is pretty good. If they don't know what to do with a referral to a manpage (or from the direct lookup in that manpage to the general config-protect info in the same manpage, and from there to the config files section of the emerge manpage where there's several paragraphs of coverage), I'd say ubuntu's over that-a-way, and mint's over there! New items should be brief and to the point, serving more as a road sign with only an arrow letting people know there's a change in direction ahead with an expectation that the driver seeing it can follow the arrow and look at what's coming once so alerted, than a complete reference work of their own. Really, as a user, that's what I want and need, that road- sign telling me what direction the road is turning, not a full description of all the engineering data contained in the road-building documents, that I couldn't read at road speed anyway. And that's what this is, as it is. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master. Richard Stallman

I'd have thought not, since we need the device-mapper service and there's /etc/lvm.conf to consider, but I'll gladly be told different. No, you are correct about this. This does not work if you have /usr on lvm, mdadm, or encrypted. The same applies to /. That is the situation where you would need an initramfs. I'm curious, have you seen our initramfs guide yet [1]? Making and using an initramfs seems to be pretty well documented these days.
