This means read-only operations. ArchZoom is an example of a read-only reporting tool. Some planned features will be available in both archzoom and axp. It is quite easy when you have a library, you know.
Indeed. And I had the advantage of being able to start with an already-implemented one.
When [Fai] encounters an unregistered archive name, it automatically looks it up.
Yes, this is handy, but personally I like to register archives explicitly, this avoids unexpected problems.
The default is to prompt you, and you can also configure Fai to always do it, or to never do it.
The registry functionality is available using Arch::Registry module that is part of arch-perl. It has a nice API for any kinds of archive/version regexp searches, and it has a support for internal web cache. The actual "axp registry" subcommands are just several lines.
The way it should be. I guess I should add a registry cache too. Aaron -- Aaron Bentley Director of Technology Panometrics, Inc.
