Gentoo 2008.0: Return to greatness?

08-07-2008 08:00 AM
When the long-awaited Gentoo 2008.0 release finally hit mirrors last month, the two largest groups of users found themselves out of luck: x86 users discovered that their live CD wouldn't copy the kernel during install, and the AMD64 image wouldn't fit onto a standard CD-ROM. This was not a great start for a distribution whose comeback may rest upon this release. Updated ISOs were released two days later, though, and those work well for getting a quick Gentoo install ready to customize.

NAME
Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions SYNOPSIS
use Module::Packaged; my $p = Module::Packaged->new(); my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar'); # $dists is now: # { # cpan => '1.08', # debian => '1.03', # fedora => '0.22', # freebsd => '1.07', # gentoo => '1.05', # openbsd => '0.22', # suse => '0.23', # } # meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at # version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.05 on Gentoo, version 1.03 on # Debian, version 0.23 on SUSE and version 0.22 on OpenBSD DESCRIPTION
CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have. Note: only CPAN, Debian, Fedora (Core 2), FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva (10.1), OpenBSD (3.6) and SUSE (9.2) are currently supported. I want to support everything else. Patches are welcome. METHODS
new() The new() method is a constructor: my $p = Module::Packaged->new(); check() The check() method returns a hash reference. The keys are various distributions, the values the version number included: my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar'); COPYRIGHT
