meta.stratopan.com?!? #223

Closed marghidanu closed 8 years ago

marghidanu commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I'm using pinto as a LOCAL perl repository in my infrastructure and today when I wanted to publish a package internally is complaining about not being able to connect to "meta.stratopan.com"... I'm sorry but this just became unreliable.

Why is this happening, every time Stratopan is down I can't use the local PRIVATE REPOSITORY?

Hello, Have you tried setting your pinto to not use stratopan? Try editing your /.pinto/config/pinto.ini file and changing the sources to just cpan. I think that should help.

On a similar topic I would like to ask: Is there any way to get our own meta server setup for a private pinto? It's very disappointing that pinto on its own can only work with package indexes, as it stunts the usefulness of things like carton (from a user standpoint). I understand we can use stacks, but I'd prefer to let downstream decide on what they want.

Thank you, that did the trick. But since stratopan.com has it's ups and downs maybe it should not come as a default in the configuration.

stratopan.com is as reliable as any CPAN mirror and Pinto will fall back to the local index files if it is not available. I apologize for the disruption you experienced, but I don't plan to change the default.
