zef ecosystem - cli

fez

fez is the command line tool used to manage your ecosystem user/pass.

current functionality:

• login
• register
• upload
• reset-password
• meta
• monkey-zef

todo:

• plugin management
• command extensions via plugins

register

λ local:~$ fez register
>>= Email: xyz@abc.com
>>= Username: tony-o
>>= Password:
>>= registration successful, requesting auth key
>>= login successful, you can now upload dists

login

This is not necessary if you've just registered but you will eventually have to request a new key.

λ local:~$ fez login
>>= Username: tony-o
>>= Password:
>>= login successful, you can now upload dists

meta

Update your meta info - this information is public.

λ local:~$ fez meta
>>= what would you like your display name to show? tony o
>>= what's your website? DEATHBYPERL6.com
>>= public email address? xxxx
=<< your meta info has been updated

upload

If you're not logged in for this bit then it will prompt you to do so.

λ local:~/projects/perl6-slang-sql-master$ fez upload
>>= Slang::SQL:ver<0.1.2>:auth<zef:tony-o> looks OK
>>= Hey! You did it! Your dist will be indexed shortly.

or, if there are errors:

λ local:~/Downloads/perl6-slang-sql-master$ fez upload
=<< "tonyo" does not match the username you last logged in with (tony-o),
=<< you will need to login before uploading your dist

reset password

If you've forgotten your password, use this little guy.

λ local:~$ fez reset-password
>>= Username: tony-o
>>= A reset key was successfully requested, please check your email
>>= New Password:
>>= What is the key in your email? abcdef...
>>= password reset successful, you now have a new key and can upload dists

monkey-zef

You do NOT need to be logged in for this command. Use this command to make to update your existing zef configuration to use fez and zef mirrors.

• fez mirror: this is an automated p6c mirror with the * versions of anything stripped out (as * supercedes everything, this is to avoid a headache)
• zef mirror: this is where you upload/download from when you and other module authors use the upload method below.
