Re^2: CPAN::Mini on a diet

Thanks for the tips, I'll take a look specially at CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion. I used my script for cleanup, but as soon as I run another minicpan to update the mirror, I got download those old versions (which is OK, since this is the expected behavior).

Maybe CPAN::Mini should include the features of CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion as well.

" but as soon as I run another minicpan to update the mirror, I got download those old versions (which is OK, since this is the expected behavior)." For clarity, are you running `minicpan -c CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion` when updating to use the CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion class?	[reply] [d/l]

Nope... just `minicpan`, still didn't have the time to test CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion yet. ASAP I'll do it and let you know.

All right, did the test finally. Here is the short sequence: Update mirror with "standard" CPAN::Mini Clean up with my script Repeat, to be sure the count is zero. Install CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion. Sync with CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion. Run the cleanup script again. Sync again with CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion. Result: the cleanup script removed some files, but not as much as using minicpan only. And follows the long output of executing those steps: Read more...
