Change author search to show Dists instead of Modules in the results. #7

Open ioncache opened 13 years ago

ioncache commented 13 years ago

Probably need to make a Distribution view, that shows some Distribution info in the same manner as the Author view, and then with a list of modules in the distribution underneath.

Agreed, this is the number one thing (dist view) that I miss from s.c.o

Likewise, both for viewing a list of modules and for viewing stuff like eg/, Changes, etc.

ioncache commented 13 years ago

The distribution search and distribution views have now been created.

The author view now shows the author's distributions instead of their modules.

Currently the distribution view still has an issue where the module list for that distribution isn't working.

We need to pull a bit more information into the distribution view still.

The changes file, meta.yml etc. Also cpan ratings and test info.

In the future we'll also show old versions of distributions here, but currently we are only indexing the latest version of each dist. Our idea is to have a secondary index of archived distributions where old dists go to die =)
