.SH NAME
CPANPLUS::Dist \- base class for plugins
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 3
\&    my $dist = CPANPLUS::Dist::YOUR_DIST_TYPE_HERE\->new(
\&                                module  => $modobj,

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist\*(C'\fR is a base class for \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::MM\*(C'\fR
and \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::Build\*(C'\fR. Developers of other \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::*\*(C'\fR
plugins should look at \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::Base\*(C'\fR.
.SH ACCESSORS
.IX Header "ACCESSORS"
.IP \fBparent()\fR 4
.IX Item "parent()"
Returns the \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Module\*(C'\fR object that parented this object.
.IP \fBstatus()\fR 4
.IX Item "status()"
Returns the \f(CW\*(C`Object::Accessor\*(C'\fR object that keeps the status for
this module.
.SH "STATUS ACCESSORS"
.IX Header "STATUS ACCESSORS"
All accessors can be accessed as follows:
    \f(CW$deb\fR\->status\->ACCESSOR
.IP \fBcreated()\fR 4
.IX Item "created()"
Boolean indicating whether the dist was created successfully.
Explicitly set to \f(CW0\fR when failed, so a value of \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR may be
interpreted as \f(CW\*(C`not yet attempted\*(C'\fR.
.IP \fBinstalled()\fR 4
.IX Item "installed()"
Boolean indicating whether the dist was installed successfully.
Explicitly set to \f(CW0\fR when failed, so a value of \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR may be
interpreted as \f(CW\*(C`not yet attempted\*(C'\fR.
.IP \fBuninstalled()\fR 4
.IX Item "uninstalled()"
Boolean indicating whether the dist was uninstalled successfully.
Explicitly set to \f(CW0\fR when failed, so a value of \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR may be
interpreted as \f(CW\*(C`not yet attempted\*(C'\fR.
.IP \fBdist()\fR 4
.IX Item "dist()"
The location of the final distribution. This may be a file or
directory, depending on how your distribution plug in of choice
works. This will be set upon a successful create.
.ie n .SS "$dist = CPANPLUS::Dist::YOUR_DIST_TYPE_HERE\->new( module => MODOBJ );"
.el .SS "\f(CW$dist\fP = CPANPLUS::Dist::YOUR_DIST_TYPE_HERE\->new( module => MODOBJ );"
.IX Subsection "$dist = CPANPLUS::Dist::YOUR_DIST_TYPE_HERE->new( module => MODOBJ );"
Create a new \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::YOUR_DIST_TYPE_HERE\*(C'\fR object based on the
provided \f(CW\*(C`MODOBJ\*(C'\fR.
.PP
*** DEPRECATED ***
The optional argument \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR is used to indicate what type of dist
you would like to create (like \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::MM\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::Build\*(C'\fR and so on ).
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist\->new\*(C'\fR is exclusively meant as a method to be
inherited by \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::MM|Build\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Returns a \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::YOUR_DIST_TYPE_HERE\*(C'\fR object on success
and false on failure.
.ie n .SS "@dists = CPANPLUS::Dist\->dist_types;"
.el .SS "\f(CW@dists\fP = CPANPLUS::Dist\->dist_types;"
.IX Subsection "@dists = CPANPLUS::Dist->dist_types;"
Returns a list of the CPANPLUS::Dist::* classes available
.ie n .SS "$bool = CPANPLUS::Dist\->rescan_dist_types;"
.el .SS "\f(CW$bool\fP = CPANPLUS::Dist\->rescan_dist_types;"
.IX Subsection "$bool = CPANPLUS::Dist->rescan_dist_types;"
Rescans \f(CW@INC\fR for available dist types. Useful if you\*(Aqve installed new
\&\f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::*\*(C'\fR classes and want to make them available to the
current process.
.ie n .SS "$bool = CPANPLUS::Dist\->has_dist_type( $type )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$bool\fP = CPANPLUS::Dist\->has_dist_type( \f(CW$type\fP )"
.IX Subsection "$bool = CPANPLUS::Dist->has_dist_type( $type )"
Returns true if distribution type \f(CW$type\fR is loaded/supported.
.ie n .SS "$bool = $dist\->prereq_satisfied( modobj => $modobj, version => $version_spec )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$bool\fP = \f(CW$dist\fP\->prereq_satisfied( modobj => \f(CW$modobj\fP, version => \f(CW$version_spec\fP )"
.IX Subsection "$bool = $dist->prereq_satisfied( modobj => $modobj, version => $version_spec )"
Returns true if this prereq is satisfied.  Returns false if it\*(Aqs not.
Also issues an error if it seems "unsatisfiable," i.e. if it can\*(Aqt be
found on CPAN or the latest CPAN version doesn\*(Aqt satisfy it.
.ie n .SS "$configure_requires = $dist\->find_configure_requires( [file => /path/to/META.yml] )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$configure_requires\fP = \f(CW$dist\fP\->find_configure_requires( [file => /path/to/META.yml] )"
.IX Subsection "$configure_requires = $dist->find_configure_requires( [file => /path/to/META.yml] )"
Reads the configure_requires for this distribution from the META.yml or META.json
file in the root directory and returns a hashref with module names
and versions required.
.ie n .SS "$bool = $dist\->_resolve_prereqs( ... )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$bool\fP = \f(CW$dist\fP\->_resolve_prereqs( ... )"
.IX Subsection "$bool = $dist->_resolve_prereqs( ... )"
Makes sure prerequisites are resolved
