Nice ! ;) |
29 |
let's clean/stabilize/test things then. |

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 ;) |
