App::Pinto::Command::add - add local archives to the repository
version 0.14
pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT add [OPTIONS] ARCHIVE_FILE ...
This command adds local distribution archives to the repository and registers
their packages on a stack. Then it recursively pulls all the distributions
that are necessary to satisfy their prerequisites.
When locating prerequisite packages, Pinto first looks at the packages that
already exist in the local repository, then Pinto looks at the packages that
are available on the upstream repositories.
Arguments to this command are paths to the distribution archives that you wish
to add. Each of these files must exist and must be readable.
You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN. In that case, blank
lines and lines that look like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or
';') will be ignored.
- --author NAME
- Set the identity of the distribution author. The
"NAME" is automatically forced to uppercase and must match
"/^[A-Z]{2}[-A-Z0-9]*$/" (that means two ASCII letters followed
by zero or more ASCII letters, digits, or hyphens). Defaults to the
"user" attribute specified in your ~/.pause configuration
file if such file exists. Otherwise, defaults to your current login
username.
- --cascade
- !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!
When searching for a prerequisite package, always take the latest
satisfactory version of the package found amongst all the upstream
repositories, rather than just taking the first satisfactory
version that is found. Remember that Pinto only searches the upstream
repositories when the local repository does not already contain a
satisfactory version of the package.
- --diff-style=STYLE
- Controls the style of the diff reports. STYLE must be
either "concise" or "detailed". Concise reports show
only one record for each distribution added or deleted. Detailed reports
show one record for every package added or deleted.
The default style is "concise". However, the default style can
changed by setting the "PINTO_DIFF_STYLE" environment variable
to your preferred STYLE. This variable affects the default style for diff
reports generated by all other commands too.
- --dry-run
- Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any
changes to the repository. At the conclusion, a diff showing the changes
that would have been made will be displayed. Use this option to see how
upgrades would potentially impact the stack.
- --message=TEXT
- -m TEXT
- Use TEXT as the revision history log message. If you do not
use the "--message" option or the
"--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to
enter the message via your text editor. Use the "PINTO_EDITOR"
or "EDITOR" or "VISUAL" environment variables to
control which editor is used. A log message is not required whenever the
"--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield any
changes to the repository.
- --no-fail
- !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!
Normally, failure to add an archive (or its prerequisites) causes the
command to immediately abort and rollback the changes to the repository.
But if "--no-fail" is set, then only the changes caused by the
failed archive (and its prerequisites) will be rolled back and the command
will continue processing the remaining archives.
This option is useful if you want to throw a list of archives into a
repository and see which ones are problematic. Once you've fixed the
broken ones, you can throw the whole list at the repository again.
- --no-index=PACKAGE
- -x PACKAGE
- --no-index=/PATTERN
- -x /PATTERN
- !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!
Exclude the PACKAGE from the index. If the argument starts with a slash,
then it is interpreted as a regular expression, and all packages matching
the pattern will be excluded. Exclusions only apply to the added
distributions (i.e. the arguments to this command) so they do not affect
any prerequisited distributions that may also get pulled. You can repeat
this option to specify multiple PACKAGES or PATTERNS.
This option is useful when Pinto's indexing is to aggressive and finds
packages that it probably should not. Remember that Pinto does not promise
to index exactly as PAUSE would. When using a PATTERN, take care to use a
conservative one so you don't exclude the wrong packages. Pinto will throw
an exception if you exclude every package in the distribution.
- --pin
- Pins all the packages in the added distributions to the
stack, so they cannot be changed until you unpin them. The pin does not
apply to any prerequisites that are pulled in for this distribution.
However, you may pin them separately with the pin command, if you so
desire.
- --recurse
- --no-recurse
- Recursively pull any distributions required to satisfy
prerequisites for the targets. The default value for this option can be
configured in the pinto.ini configuration file for the repository
(it is usually set to 1). To disable recursion, use
"--no-recurse".
- --skip-missing-prerequisite=PACKAGE
- -k PACKAGE
- !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!
Skip any prerequisite with name PACKAGE if a satisfactory version cannot be
found. However, a warning will be given whenever this occurrs. This option
only has effect when recursively fetching prerequisites for the targets
(See also the "--recurse" option). This option can be
repeated.
- --skip-all-missing-prerequisites
- -K
- !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!
Skips all missing prerequisites if a satisfactory version cannot be found.
However, a warning will be given whenever this occurrs. This option will
silently override the "--skip-missing-prerequisite" option and
only has effect when recursively fetching prerequisites for the targets
(See also the "--recurse" option).
- --stack=NAME
- -s NAME
- Puts all the packages onto the stack with the given NAME.
Defaults to the name of whichever stack is currently marked as the default
stack. Use the stacks command to see the stacks in the repository.
- --use-default-message
- -M
- Use the default value for the revision history log message.
Pinto will generate a semi-informative log message just based on the
command and its arguments. If you set an explicit message with
"--message", the "--use-default-message" option will
be silently ignored.
- --with-development-prerequisites
- --wd
- Also pull development prerequisites so you'll have
everything you need to work on those distributions, in the event that you
need to patch them in the future. Be aware that most distributions do not
actually declare their development prerequisites.
