Changes:
- removed the need for client-side CPAN::Site installation.
- update 02packages after 1 hour (was 1 day), because CPAN
is refreshing more often, lately.

a --site option now.

by Archive::Tar.
- explain changes in explain_101.txt
- --cpan option alternative added: -c
version 1.00: Tue Sep 1 10:48:02 CEST 2009
Large version number jump to indicate structural rewrite
of internals. This may trigger someones awareness to be
more careful in the upgrade.
Changes:
- removed mkpackages which was kept for backward compatibility
- do not extract readme's anymore, probably no-one uses them
Improvements:
- use Archive::Tar to unpack archives, to replace the tricky (but
fast) scanning of the tar binary.
- replace use of external 'gzip' binary to IO::Compress
- use File::Spec in stead of UNIX syntax. The module is probably
still not usable on Windows, but coming close.
- use Log::Report for error/trace/verbose

- improved trace on index
- new 'mirror' option of cpansite

Fixes:
- also client requires HTTP::Date
Improvements:
- regressions tests for fix implemented in previous release.

Fixes:
- pre-req version.pm [Sander Hulst]
Improvements:
- regression test by [Matisse Enzer]
- packages without version are enlisted [Matisse Enzer]
- without version, then enlisted as undef
version 0.21: Thu May 8 13:15:22 CEST 2008

must exist, to protect against errors.

- "Cpansite for the impatient" documentation by [Ales Efros]

- cpansite script should strip file: with two slashes or none,
to permit absolute path.
- fix when local archive is empty

test-scripts [Matisse Enzer]

- minor output improvements. [Matisse Enzer]
version 0.16: Fri Nov 9 23:38:10 CET 2007
- use package directory explicitly in the creation of the
readme extract. [Matisse Enzer]
version 0.15: Fri Jun 8 17:01:30 CEST 2007
- document how to change urllist from CPAN.pm shell [Abe Timmerman]
- removed short filename-support (MSDOS) from CPAN::Site

lib/CPAN/Site/Index.pm
- Add CPANSITE_ROLE environment variable to Makefile.PL
- show version of cpansite when shell is started
version 0.12:

created otherwise.
version 0.11:
- use HTTP::Date to produce timestamp on package
version 0.10:
- use functions
- variables in CAPS are reserved for Perl
- %VERSION and %PATH combined in %pkgs, which contains
[$version,$path] entries
- only install details file after success
- command-line option parsing
- trace to STDOUT, new option verbose
- CPAN::Site is very useful, and therefore don't call it ALPHA
- regex to find version now accepts "our"
- renamed mkpackages to 'cpansite index'
- cpansite also can start shell and install modules
- do not ask for URL at installation, because different people
may want different local archives: use environment variable
CPANSITE.
- moved Site.pm to lib/CPAN
2006-03-19 Ulrich Pfeifer <upf@de.uu.net>
* mkpackages: applied patch from Matisse Enzer so that it uses
CPAN::Checksums to generate the CHECKSUMS files. This probably
renders it useless for ancient per installations. Even my debian
Perl 5.8 requires me to fetch these:
Compress-Bzip2-2.09
Compress-Zlib-1.41
Data-Compare-0.13
Text-Glob-0.06
Number-Compare-0.01
File-Find-Rule-0.28
Digest-SHA-5.34
CPAN-Checksums-1.039
So fall back to the last version if that is too much hassle for
you. I may think about a fall back mode if CPAN::Checksums is not
available.
2005-09-18 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@wait.de>
* Integrated patch from Matisse Enzer to generate .readme files.
* Switching from MD5 to Digest::MD5
* Gzip now called with the local file name $_. $File::Find::name
should not have worked?
1999-07-26 Ulrich Pfeifer <upf@de.uu.net>
* Site.pm: Added CPAN::Config->load call which is required by
newer CPAN.pm
Wed May 6 13:26:13 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer <upf@de.uu.net>
* mkpackages: Rudimentary CHECKSUMS support
Tue May 5 12:40:27 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer <upf@de.uu.net>
* mkpackages (wanted): 'package' now found even if in the first
line of a file.
Tue Mar 3 12:45:42 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer <upf@de.uu.net>
* mkpackages (wanted): $VERSION is found now even if line crosses
block boundary.
Tue Jan 13 11:58:31 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@wait.de>
* mkpackages: Now removes 'id/' from path
Thu Jan 8 12:26:42 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@wait.de>
* Makefile.PL: Ask for default URL
Wed Jan 7 20:15:54 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@wait.de>
* mkpackages (wanted): now parses tar files to extract package
names and version
