NAME

NCustom::Config - configuration file for NCustom

SYNOPSIS

  use NCustom::Config;

ABSTRACT

  Configuration file for NCustom.

DESCRIPTION

Useful only with NCustom.

NCustom::Config provides configuration for NCustom. This is affected by NCustom ``using'' NCustom::Config, whereupon NCustom::Config creates and sets configuration variables in NCustom's namespace.

Should a user of NCustom require personalised configuration, they may copy part or all (depending on whether they wish to over ride part or all of the configuration settings) of NCustom::Config to ~/.ncustom/NCustom/MyConfig.pm. The file must be a perl module. If such a file exists is will be ``used'' by NCustom after it has ``used'' NCustom::Config.

EXPORT

None - but it does create and set variables within the NCustom namespace.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

Following is a descriptin of configuration variables.

test_data1, test_data2, test_url1: Ignore these. They are for internal use only (make test).
base_dir: This is the base directory for NCustom. It is within here that personalised configuration file will be searched for. It is within here that transactions shall be archived.
save_dir: The directory into which transactions shall be archived. So that they may be later undone.
tmp_dir: NCustom requires a temporary directory on occassion. It makes troubleshooting easier if we know where that is.
src_fqdn: The fully qualified domain name of the default server for fetching source such as NCustom files, or rpms from. Not using fully qualified domain name may affect fetching of source for some utilities for some command line options (such as dont follow offsite links).
default_src: A reference to an anonymous array that contains which directories or urls to look in to find files for whom a path name was not given.
get_url: A subroutine ref for fetching the file(s) from a particular url, and placing them in a given target directory.; Simple needs should be met by the provided subroutine. Desired behaviour (such as proxy configuration or reference to passwords) are easily met by adding command line arguments to the provided subroutine's system call. Complex needs would require recoding of the subroutine.
