You don't +need a separate database or a directory to maintain tarballs outside +your application. The C<carton.lock> file can always be generated out +of the local library path, and carton can reproduce the tree using the +lock file on other machines. + + -- Alioth's /usr/local/bin/git-commit-notice on /srv/git.debian.org/git/pkg-perl/packages/carton.git _______________________________________________ Pkg-perl-cvs-commits mailing list Pkg-perl-cvs-commits@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-perl-cvs-commits
