NAME App::lcpan::Bootstrap - Bootstrap database for lcpan VERSION This document describes version 20200508.0.0 of App::lcpan::Bootstrap (from Perl distribution App-lcpan-Bootstrap), released on 2020-05-08. SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION This distribution contains the database for lcpan (updated periodically), so you can save time when setting up your local CPAN mirror the first time. Without a boostrap database, indexing the mirror for the first time can take several hours. With a fairly recent bootstrap database, indexing time can be reduced to an hour or much less. Note however, that this particular bootstrap is produced with this lcpan configuration: max_file_size=209715200 skip_index_file_patterns = ^eBay-API-\d skip_index_file_patterns = ^Google-Ads-GoogleAds-Client-\d skip_index_file_patterns = ^Google-Ads-AdWords-Client-\d skip_index_file_patterns = ^GOOGLE-ADWORDS-PERL-CLIENT-\d skip_index_file_patterns = ^Microsoft-AdCenter-\d skip_index_file_patterns = ^Paws-\d skip_index_file_patterns = ^VMOMI-\d which means release files over 200MB as well as those matching the above patterns are not processed (their distribution metadata are not extracted and parsed, their PODs are also not parsed). This should be fine for many use-cases, but if you do not want the above configuration, you'll not be able to use this bootstrap. The compressed bootstrap database is stored in the distribution's share directory. lcpan will search for this bootstrap database the first time it is run. If you run lcpan before installing this distribution, your empty database will already be created. To use the bootstrap database, install this distribution, remove the empty created index.db, then run lcpan again. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .
