CLAN LinksDocumentsThe Zen of Comprehensive Archive Networks - a document by Jarkko Hietaniemi, the CPAN master librarian on how to construct such comprehensive archive networks like we intend do. Brings some lessons from CPAN, and indicates why it has been successful. The Joel Test : 12 Steps to Better Code - an insightful article (orignallly derived from the McConnell Test) giving some guidelines for useful management of a "shrinkwrap" project. CLAN aims for just that. Reference ProjectsOProfile - a system-wide profiler for GNU/Linux that contains an externally maintained kernel module. Provided reference for writing the appropriate makefile for the LKMB packages. Similar Efforts for Other SystemsCPAN - The Comperhensive Perl Archive Network - a repository of useful modules for the Perl programming language, that can be installed at ease while resolving all depenedencies. CLAN ,in fact, will be available as a set of CPAN packages. The Debian Package Pool - a comprehensive repository of packages for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution that are maintained by volunteers. Easily installable and upgradable using a utility named "apt". urpmi - an interface around RPM created by MandrakeSoft to resolve the unique problems faced in handling the RPM package format. Extensively used in a Mandrake Linux environment and very convenient as well for maintaing the packages. FreeBSD - its packages management is source based and very configurable (you can specify configuration options for packages at compile time). Also look for Gentoo Linux which implemented a similar functionatily for a GNU/Linux system. |
