✨ NAME ✨

Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer β€” literally just: prefer Alien::Build plugins. that's the whole name, no cap πŸ‘‘

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.88 β€” yes ma'am, we're on 2.88 πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

use alienfile;
share {
  start_url 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make';
  plugin 'Download';
};

like, that's it. that's the moment. ✨

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So the Prefer plugins sort. That's their whole thing, they sort things. πŸ’…

Then there's the decode plugins β€” those decode HTML and FTP file listings. And ngl, normally you're not gonna reach for those directly, because you'll want to use the Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate plugin instead, which will automatically load up the appropriate Prefer plugins for you. it's giving "let the plugin handle it, bestie." πŸ™ˆ

  • Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::BadVersion β€” filters out known bad versions from a candidate list. bye girl, not you πŸ‘‹
