App::Pinto::Command::add - add local archives to the repository
version 0.079_01
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 prerequisites, 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.
Set the identity of the distribution author. The NAME must be alphanumeric characters plus hyphens and underscores. Defaults to the user specified in your ~/.pause configuration file if such file exists. Otherwise, defaults to your current login username. By convention, author IDs are always folded to uppercase.
NAME
user
~/.pause
Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any changes to the repository. Use this option to see how the command would potentially impact the stack.
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 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.
--message
--use-default-message
EDITOR
VISUAL
--dry-run
!! 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.
--no-fail
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.
Do not recursively pull distributions required to satisfy the prerequisites of the added archives.
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.
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 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.
