Bug #11479 for CPANPLUS: [WISHLIST] make 'i http://foo/bar.tgz' work

Sat Feb 12 10:05:38 2005 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

Bad parsing of URLs with author directory

"cpan i URL" used to work provided the URL had an author directory structure. Note the following: C:\TEMP\CPAN-YACSmoke-0.02_04>cpanp i http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/R/RU/RUBYKAT/txt2html-2.40.tar.gz Installing txt2html [ERROR] Could not create directory 'C:\Documents and Settings\Rob.MAGNETO-XP\Application Data\.cpanplus\authors\id\H\HT\HTTP:\search.cpan.org\CPAN\authors\id\R\ RU\RUBYKAT': Error installing 'txt2html' Problem installing one or more modules

This is not CPAN.pm -- quite interesting that you'd mark this as 'important' as it's not a feature ever supported by cpanplus. Show quoted text

Yes, this feature doesn't exist in CPANPLUS, and it has no priority for me to add it. However, if you'd like to provide a patch i'll consider it for inclusion (docs, tests & code). You'll need to add this support to CPANPLUS::Backend::parse_module() and locally override the mirror list in the configuration.

Should this be changed to a wishlist item then? [KANE - Thu Feb 17 07:48:44 2005]: Show quoted text

This will now work as of patch 12134. Expect it in CPANPLUS 0.056.
