NAME
Pinto - Curate your own CPAN-like repository
VERSION
version 0.025_003
SYNOPSIS
See pinto-admin to create and manage a Pinto repository.

See pinto-remote to interact with a remote Pinto repository.
See Pinto::Manual for more information about the Pinto tools.
DESCRIPTION
Pinto is a suite of tools for creating and managing a CPAN-like repository of Perl archives. Pinto is inspired by CPAN::Mini, CPAN::Mini::Inject, and MyCPAN::App::DPAN, but adds a few interesting features:
Pinto supports several usage patterns
With Pinto, you can create a repository to mirror the latest distributions from another repository. Or you can create a "sparse repository" with just your own private distributions. Or you can create a "project repository" that has all the distributions required for a particular project. Or you can combine all of the above in some way.
Pinto supports adding AND removing archives from the repository.
Pinto gives you the power to precisely tune the contents of your repository. So you can be sure that your downstream clients get exactly the stack of dependencies that you want them to have.
Pinto can be integrated with your version control system.
Pinto can automatically commit to your version control system whenever the contents of the repository changes. This gives you repeatable and identifiable snapshots of your dependencies, and a mechanism for rollback when things go wrong.
Pinto makes it easier to build several local repositories.
Creating new Pinto repositories is easy, and each has its own configuration. So you can have different repositories for each department, or each project, or each version of perl, or each customer, or whatever you want.
Pinto can pull archives from multiple remote repositories.
Pinto can mirror or import distributions from multiple sources, so you can create private (or public) networks of repositories that enable separate teams or individuals to collaborate and share distributions.
Pinto supports team development.
Pinto is suitable for small to medium-sized development teams, where several developers might contribute new distributions at the same time.
Pinto has a robust command line interface.
The pinto-admin and pinto-remote command line tools have options to control every aspect of your Pinto repository. They are well documented and behave in a DWIM fashion.
Pinto can be extended.
You can extend Pinto by creating Pinto::Action subclasses to perform new operations on your repository, such as extracting documentation from a distribution, or grepping the source code of several distributions.
