Fixes
* Using the BackPAN index from gitpan.integra.net which is kept up to date.
* Make all the primary keys not null to quiet a new DBIx::Class
warning (and its a good idea).
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
Packages Collection.
The Perl 5 module BackPAN::Index provides an index of BackPAN and
some handy methods. The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN)
is a very useful collection of Perl code. However, in order to keep
CPAN relatively small, authors of modules can delete older versions
of modules to only let CPAN have the latest version of a module.
BackPAN is where these deleted modules are backed up. It's more
like a full CPAN mirror, only without the deletions.
