The first release offers significant new functionality for developer types, in that it allows a certain amount of change functionality when working with the remote module repository. In fact, this functionality was used to create the new version of Tools.Monger and upload its source using Tools.Monger.MongerDeveloper. As of right now, you'll have to create a new module using the web interface. Here's an example: > object m = Tools.Monger.MongerDeveloper(); > m->set_auth("joedeveloper", "pikerulez"); (1) Result: 0 > m->add_new_version("Tools.Monger", "7.6.28", "This is the first functional unbundled release of the Monger tool. This version includes developer functionality, such as version creation, dependency functionality, and source upload.", "GPL/LGPL/MPL"); (2) Result: 1 > m->set_dependency("Tools.Monger", "7.6.28", "Pike", "7.6.0", "7.7.999", 1); (3) Result: 1 > m->set_module_source("Tools.Monger", "7.6.28", "Tools_Monger-7.6.28.tar.gz"); (2) Result: 1 > quit To get the new release, use this command with any 7.6.6 or higher release of Pike: pike -x monger --install Tools.Monger You may need to remove your Tools.pmod/Standalone.pmod/monger.pike.o file if you get annoyed at the out of date warning messages. Version 7.6.32 contains a simple script which will automate the creation of new module versions in the gotpike.org repository. This script can be used as a jumping off point for the creation of more sophisticated applications. The SampleModule demo project also contains up-to-date Makefile examples.
