πŸ’– Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::LocalDir πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's literally the manual for Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::LocalDir β€” yes that whole mouthful, iykyk 🫢

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.88 β€” that's the one, that's the vibe check πŸŽ€

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole thing, no notes, copy it exactly:

use alienfile;
share {
  start_url 'patch/libfoo-1.00/';
  plugin 'Fetch::LocalDir';
};

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

heads up: in most cases you are gonna want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate instead. it's the main character β€” it picks the right fetch plugin based on your platform and environment. some cases you might need to use this plugin directly instead, but that's the exception, not the rule. no cap.

so what does this plugin do? it fetches files from the local file system πŸ¦‹ it's mostly useful if you intend to bundle source with your Alien. and listen β€” if you're bundling tarballs, you want Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::Local instead, not this one. different plugin, different job, don't mix them up bestie 😭

πŸ‘‘ PROPERTIES πŸ‘‘

🌈 root

the directory that the start URL should be relative to. the default is usually reasonable β€” like, it just works, trust πŸ’œ

🌈 ssl

okay so this property exists purely for compatibility with other fetch plugins. it is not used. it's giving decorative. it's giving placeholder. it's there so nothing breaks, periodt πŸ’€
