Nice ! ;) |
| 29 |
let's clean/stabilize/test things then. |
| 30 |
I took my laptop at work today, but phone is always ringing for now.. Well, |
| 31 |
anyway if someone wants to work on the code, svn is there, it should be |
| 32 |
able to handle multiple modifications.. it's its goal, isn't it ? :) |

|
| 41 |
well, ok, it could do the job. |
| 42 |
But we'll have to inform the user about what is going on somewhere, just in |
| 43 |
case he wonders why he has a .cpan dir while he usually uses a system-wide |
| 44 |
setting ;) |

erhm, actually you are right, dunno why but i was sure the $< test was to |
| 69 |
check if user was trying to search/list or do something more dangerous. |
| 70 |
About the config file, it can be very very helpful. Even if it can be small |
| 71 |
if limited to g-cpan (and small doesn't mean useless), we could combine |
| 72 |
this with your bundling idea, and create a perl-tools conf file ;p Oh wait, |
| 73 |
you said no more features for now ;) |

The worst thing is that he won't admit it.. damned humility ;) |

| 84 |
Isn't step one getting sniper on a gentoo box first ? ;) (j/k) |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
bah ;) |
| 87 |
he will install one himself sooner or later, i hope ;p |
| 88 |
I can provide him a shell on one of my box.. even root account anyway, but |
| 89 |
this box is totally unstable (probably an hardware problem) and it hasn't |
| 90 |
been updated since maybe one year. Even installing portage, which is not a |
| 91 |
big app, crashes it. |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
Anyway it would be a start point to get him addicted ;) |
