NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::GitHub - Alien::Build plugin to download from GitHub

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

use alienfile;

...

share {

  plugin 'Download::GitHub' => (
    github_user => 'Perl5-Alien',
    github_repo => 'dontpanic',
  );

};

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will download releases from GitHub. It is generally preferred over Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Git for packages that are released on GitHub, as it has much fewer dependencies and is more reliable.

PROPERTIES

github_user

The GitHub user or org that owns the repository. This property is required.

github_repo

The GitHub repository name. This property is required.

version

Regular expression that can be used to extract a version from a GitHub tag. The default ( qr/^v?(.*)$/ ) is reasonable for many GitHub repositories.

prefer

How to sort candidates for selection. This should be one of three types of values:

code reference

This will be used as the prefer hook.

true value (not code reference)

Use Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::SortVersions.

false value

Don't set any preference at all. The order returned from GitHub will be used if no other prefer plugins are specified. This may be reasonable for at least some GitHub repositories. This is the default.
