[Koha-devel] CPAN + Koha

[Mike Mylonas]

I have created a Bundle::KohaSupport to ease the installation of some of
the supporting modules for Koha.

At this point in time, the Bundle has been uploaded to the CPAN
repository and has been accepted, now we are just waiting for it to make
it onto the modlist so that people can install it using the 'perl -MCPAN
-e 'install Bundle::KohaSupport'

At this point in time until we can sort out some of the issues
surrounding the Net::Z3950 and MARC::Record the bundle only installs the
following modules

Date::Manip
DBI
DBD::mysql
Digest::MD5
Set::Scalar

I would like to store the source that creates the bundle within the cvs
repository so that all can contribute but we need to sort out where in
the repository we store the code.

One option that I discussed with Chris, was to create a new top level
directory called cpan and then a sub directory under that for
KohaSupport which leaves us the option of adding space for any
additional modules that we might create.

so the structure would look something like
/cpan
/cpan/KohaSupport
/koha
/koha/...
/koha-html
/koha-html/...

Peoples thought ideas and comments please
