| Subject: | "o conf init urllist" does not change mirror list |
Hi Andreas, David and Michael,
I've encountered strange behaviour of CPAN.pm 1.94. When trying to run
"o conf init urllist" to rearrange/remove some mirrors, I found that
they are not rearranged at all. Tried twice with the same results, so I
had to change values in config manually. I'm able to add extra mirrors,
but cannot remove and rearrange, which is strange.
Here's CPAN shell output:
---- cut ----
stro@debian5:~$ ~/perl589/bin/cpan
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.94)
ReadLine support enabled
cpan[1]> o conf init urllist
Found /home/stro/.cpan.589/sources/MIRRORED.BY as of Tue May 26 14:22:58
2009
I'd use that as a database of CPAN sites. If that is OK for you,
please answer 'y', but if you want me to get a new database from the
internet now, please answer 'n' to the following question.
Shall I use the local database in
/home/stro/.cpan.589/sources/MIRRORED.BY? [y]
Now we need to know where your favorite CPAN sites are located. Push
a few sites onto the array (just in case the first on the array won't
work). If you are mirroring CPAN to your local workstation, specify a
file: URL.
First, pick a nearby continent and country by typing in the number(s)
in front of the item(s) you want to select. You can pick several of
each, separated by spaces. Then, you will be presented with a list of
URLs of CPAN mirrors in the countries you selected, along with
previously selected URLs. Select some of those URLs, or just keep the
old list. Finally, you will be prompted for any extra URLs -- file:,
ftp:, or http: -- that host a CPAN mirror.
(1) Africa
(2) Asia
(3) Central America
(4) Europe
(5) North America
(6) Oceania
(7) South America
(8) (edit previous picks)
Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [8]
(1) ftp://ftp.gafol.net/pub/cpan/ (previous pick)
(2) http://ftp.silvernet.ru/CPAN/ (previous pick)
(3) ftp://mirror.prvtgeo.com/lang/perl/CPAN/ (previous pick)
(4) ftp://ftp.spbu.ru/CPAN/ (previous pick)
(5) ftp://ftp.aha.ru/CPAN/ (previous pick)
(6) ftp://cpan.rinet.ru/pub/mirror/CPAN/ (previous pick)
(7) ftp://cpan.nx1.ru/ (previous pick)
(8) http://192.168.14.88/CPAN/ (previous pick)
Select as many URLs as you like (by number),
put them on one line, separated by blanks, hyphenated ranges allowed
e.g. '1 4 5' or '7 1-4 8'
(or just hit RETURN to keep your previous picks) [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8] 8 1 2 3 4
Enter another URL or RETURN to quit: []
