Connect APT-Methods with Perl using the Perl interface to achieve better management of software packages. This solution enables seamless integration of APT-Methods with Perl-based applications.
Are you looking for a tool to manage your file and copy methods? F:AF is the right program for you. Designed as usual executables, this software works with local methods with ease. Although it is still in its proof-of-concept state, it provides a smooth operation for local and trivial remote methods.
However, one of the downsides of F:AF is its lack of authentication credentials management. It does not have a way to accept or pass along the authentication credentials, which can be an issue while dealing with remote methods that require authentication.
The IPC of methods is two pipes, namely STDIN and STDOUT, from the perspective of methods. Additionally, each communication consists of a message that includes a numerical code, an explanation text, and a sequence of colon-separated lines. A message is terminated with an empty line for easy comprehension.
If you want to gain more insights into F:AF, you can refer to File::AptFetch::Cookbook. One important caution for users is that F:AF only focuses on communication, while the user is responsible for managing the dirty work. In the future, there might be a super-module that can simplify the process.
Finally, we would like to warn you about a potential tension while using F:AF. Unlike wget(1), curl(1), or various FTP clients, APT methods are not tested against the monkey-wrench on the other side of the connection. It can cause problems while dealing with repositories that are mostly mirrors. In such cases, mirror-net roots have at least a basic clue, but you may face issues with idiots on the other side of the connection.
