Git repositories support in cpanfile

[koorchik]

Is it possible to add git repositories to cpanfile?

For example,

cpanfile:

requires '[email protected]:plack/Plack.git';

I've tryed but carton carton install fails. Firstly, it writes

Successfully installed Plack-1.0028

but after that

Installing the dependencies failed: Module '[email protected]:plack/Plack.git' is not installed`

It is a nice feature to have.

Full output:

git support will be added in 1.1, and the syntax is wrong.

See #89 #99

Thanks, looking forward for 1.1 :)

You commented above "git support will be added in 1.1" 9 months ago and closed the issue, and I do see a 1.1 branch, but no 1.1 release. Do you have an estimated release date in mind?

[highflying]

I'd like to know when v1.1 will be available too, need any help getting it released?

[ilia-zaitsev]

I'am interesting too, when v1.1 will be available.

Just to update you on the situation the "current" (the latest whatever I worked on last year) 1.1 branch has been abandoned due to its complicated and fragile nature.

And we're going to form a new code base to easily add more support for things like git repositories without being tightly integrated to cpanm internals. But who knows when that happens. Since I haven't worked on any perl projects at work for almost 4 years, I could not be the person who does it.

That's the reason i created a new github organization to handle Carton and let other people to handle the future updates, at YAPC::Asia a few weeks ago. I don't know how well it goes, but meanwhile if you need a further integration on carton to support various sources, take a look at creating your own mirror using Pinto or OrePAN2.

Thanks for the update @miyagawa. :)

For people coming along, http://p3rl.org/App::cpm has experimental support for git URLs, and you can install dists with that and just use Carton to generate the cpanfile, or there's also http://p3rl.org/App::opan which I wrote as a lighter weight alternative to Pinto and OrePAN2
