  install/run/rpm-pack the module. Git copy is not suitable for this. Git copy is only for authoring (yes, and to submit patch).

  If you, as a user, need to install a git snapshot of a project hosted
  at GitHub, you can use https://undzilit4.me/ for that and you don't
  need to bother about all the plugins. It's not equivalent to "git
  clone", but you get what you want.

  btw, when packaging .deb files, Debian tools expect tarballs too. And if you try …

• brian d foy commented on A quick static file webserver

  I’d modified Joel’s script to include a default index file by using a before_dispatch hook. It could probably be better, but I stopped when I got it to work.

  I needed this for a particular project so I haven’t stopped to make it pretty.

• brian d foy commented on A quick static file webserver

  The render_static was deprecated in the middle of the Mojolicious 5 evolution and is now reply->static:

  #!/usr/bin/env perl
  
  use Mojolicious::Lite;
  
  use Cwd;
  app->static->paths->[0] = getcwd;
  
  any '/' => sub {
    shift->reply->static('index.html');
  };
  
  app->start;
  

• Chris Maloney commented on Saved By Pinto

  I'm trying to set up a deployment system with Carton and Pinto. One thing I'm concerned about is that it seems that Pinto wants to only have one version of each module in each "stack", whereas Carton records every version of every module, and is, of course, project-specific. So, what happens if one project updates a module in Pinto? Won't that cause projects whose cpanfile.snapshot point to an earlier version to break?

  How do people deal with this? Do they "pin" each and every version that appears in a cpanfile.snapshot anywhere? Do you have one "stack" per project?

  If there'…

• micheleberg commented on The Main Problem With CPAN Modules On Github

  Above, you describe syntax for pointing a cpanfile to git. The end of the line is cut off, unfortunately:
  requires "MyExperimental::Module" => "git://github.com/lestrrat/p5-MyExp

  Do you know if this still works for cpanm and/or Carton, and what the proper syntax is for it? cpanm keeps trying to read the url as a version number, no matter how I enter it.
