I read somewhere that a full local minicpan takes about 20 gB, but just the most recent versions, suitable for smoking and testing, takes only 1 gB. How do I get only the most recent? (I have DSL) (I did RTFM, maybe I am an idiot, but well meaning...)
I'm not sure were you got that 20 gB number. Here's what I have: $ pwd /home/jkeenan/minicpan $ du -sh . 3.9G . And of that number, a lot is 2 gzipped files: $ ls -l modules/ total 3420 -rw-rw-r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 1714049 Jul 16 19:19 02packages.details.txt.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 248 Jul 16 19:19 03modlist.data.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 1778487 Aug 9 11:17 06perms.txt.gz My .minicpanrc: $ cat ~/.minicpanrc local: /home/jkeenan/minicpan/ remote: http://www.cpan.org/ exact_mirror: 1 also_mirror: modules/06perms.txt.gz And, yes, I too am using DSL.
