NAME

Perl::Dist::Strawberry::Repository - The repository that is used for Perl::Dist::Strawberry.

DESCRIPTION

This documentation describes the repository that Perl::Dist::Strawberry uses, and the branches that are currently being used as of May 2010.

REPOSITORY

Perl::Dist::Strawberry is currently on Adam Kennedy's "Open Repository" for CPAN authors, at http://svn.ali.as/cpan/

My understanding is that if you're a CPAN author, you can get commit access to it by asking Adam Kennedy for it. His e-mail address is adamk@cpan.org.

If you aren't a CPAN author and need commit access for Perl::Dist::Strawberry, please e-mail me with what you'd like to do (a patch would be nice to see) and I'll recommend to him that you be given access.

In any case, before committing anything more than minor changes to the Perl-Dist-Strawberry trunk or branches, please e-mail me. I'll probably say yes, but I need to know what you're planning to do, so that I don't accidentally step on your changes.

You may wish to work on your own branch, and then communicate with me to get it merged into the trunk, by doing:

        svn cp http://svn.ali.as/trunk/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/ http://svn.ali.as/branches/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/<branch_name>

BRANCHES

The trunk is currently in the process of adding capabilities for an July 2010 release of Strawberry Perl.

Here are the branches:

Trunk

Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/

The trunk is currently working with Perl::Dist::WiX 1.200001.

The ability to build with 5.12.0 has been added.

The ability to build with the gcc 4.4.3 binaries from the mingw-w64 project has also been recently added, and updated libraries have been added.

Maintenance

Location: http://svn.ali.as/cpan/branches/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/April-2010-maintenance/

This is a maintenance branch for use only if there is a major bug that requires a re-release of the April 2010 version of Strawberry Perl.

This branch will be deleted once the July 2010 version is released, and a new maintenance branch will be created at that time.

5.12.0.1 was such a re-release, and was built off of this branch.
