README
Proto -- making your life slightly easier Proto is (C) Copyright 2009 by the Proto contributors (as listed in AUTHORS). The license is Artistic 2.0; see LICENCE. Proto is a hyper-lightweight dependency tracking and module installation system. Its only purpose is to help you set up a running environment where you can play with Perl 6 modules with as little hassle and as few questions as possible. It is not to be taken seriously in any way. It is not a full- fledged module installation system. It is a prototype; in fact, its very name was chosen to indicate this fact. The conditions under which it can work are temporary -- the mechanism by which it ties together modules is a short-term hack in Rakudo Perl 6. Nothing lasts forever, but that holds especially true for this installer. Proto is terse, clear and no-nonsense. It doesn't spew output all over your terminal when building things. It doesn't have a lot of different flags. It tries to do one thing, and do it well: handle the dependencies between your projects. What proto will do for you: 1. Install Parrot 2. Install Rakudo 3. Install and test Perl 6 modules 4. Create new modules (in projects, with tests) 5. Help Perl 6 code use all these modules To install Parrot and Rakudo, type the following at the prompt: % ./proto Installation of Parrot and Rakudo is merely a convenience; what proto was really built for is installing modules. The command % ./proto install <module> will look among its list of registered modules for <module>, and download and build whatever it finds. Should the downloaded module happen to explicitly depend on other modules, these will be downloaded and built before the dependent module is built. And so on, until it all bottoms out. The update command % ./proto update <module> will check the module <module> and all that depend on it for updates, and rebuild them in the required order. Omit the name of the module, and all your installed modules will be updated. See the file PIONEER for how to set up your project with proto, or let the create-new-project script make one semi-automatically. Removing a module is as simple as % ./proto uninstall <module> If a dependency cycle is detected during the download process, the install is aborted and the dependency cycle is described. It might still be possible to install all modules despite the cycle, but the mere fact that there's a cycle merits human attention. There are many things which proto does not do. Even so, it is the hope of its authors that it might be of some use, and make Perl 6 poets bold in splitting up their work into logical independent units.
