DESCRIPTION

yactool is a simple command-line tool for CPANPLUS::YACSmoke.

SWITCHES

--test

yactool --test

yactool --test R/RR/RRWO/Some-Dist-0.01.tar.gz

Runs tests on CPAN distributions. Arguments should be paths of individual distributions in the author directories. If no arguments are given, it will download the RECENT file from CPAN and use that.

By default it uses CPANPLUS configuration settings. If CPANPLUS is set not to send test reports, then it will not send test reports.

--mark

yactool --mark Some-Dist-0.01

yactool --mark Some-Dist-0.01 fail

Retrieves the test result in the database, or changes the test result.

It can be useful to update the status of a distribution that once failed or was untestable but now works, so as to test modules which make use of it.

Grades can be one of (case insensitive):

aborted  = tests aborted (uninstallable prereqs or other failure in test)
pass     = passed tests
fail     = failed tests
unknown  = no tests available
na       = not applicable to platform or installed libraries
ungraded = no grade (test possibly aborted by user)
none     = undefines a grade
ignored  = package was ignored (a newer version was tested)

--purge

yactool --purge

yactool --purge Some-Dist-0.01

Purges the entries from the local cpansmoke database. The criteria for purging is that a distribution must have a more recent version, which has previously been marked as a PASS. However, if one or more distributions are passed as a parameter list, those specific distributions will be purged.

--flush

yactool --flush

yactool --flush all

yactool --flush old

Removes unrequired build directories from the designated CPANPLUS build directory. Note that this deletes directories regardless of whether the associated distribution was tested.

Default flush is 'all'. The 'old' option will only delete the older distributions, of multiple instances of a distribution.

Note that this cannot be done reliably using last access or modify time, as the intention is for this distribution to be used on any OS that CPANPLUS is installed on. In this case not all OSs support the full range of return values from the stat function.

--reindex

yactool --reindex

Make CPANPLUS reload its indices.
