NAME
Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::SortVersions - Plugin to sort candidates
by most recent first
VERSION
version 1.89
SYNOPSIS
use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::SortVersions';
DESCRIPTION
Note: in most case you will want to use
Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate instead. It picks the
appropriate fetch plugin based on your platform and environment. In
some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead.
This Prefer plugin sorts the packages that were retrieved from a dir
listing, either directly from a Fetch plugin, or from a Decode plugin.
It Returns a listing with the items sorted from post preferable to
least, and filters out any undesirable candidates.
This plugin updates the file list to include the versions that are
extracted, so they can be used by other plugins, such as
Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::BadVersion.
PROPERTIES
filter
This is a regular expression that lets you filter out files that you do
not want to consider downloading. For example, if the directory
listing contained tarballs and readme files like this:
foo-1.0.0.tar.gz
foo-1.0.0.readme
You could specify a filter of "qr/\.tar\.gz$/" to make sure only
tarballs are considered for download.
version
Regular expression to parse out the version from a filename. The
regular expression should store the result in $1. The default
"qr/([0-9\.]+)/" is frequently reasonable.
