NAME

App::Pinto::Command::pin - force a package to stay in a stack

VERSION

version 0.097

SYNOPSIS

  pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT pin [OPTIONS] TARGET ...

DESCRIPTION

This command pins a package so that it cannot be changed even if a different version is added or pulled to the stack The pin is local to the stack and does not affect any other stacks.

A package must be registered on the stack before you can pin it. To bring a package onto the stack, use the pull or register commands. To remove the pin from a package, see the unpin command.

When pinning, all its sister packages in that distribution also become pinned. Pinned packages also cannot be unregistered from the stack or deleted from the repository without the "--force" option.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

Arguments are the targets you wish to unpin. Targets can be specified as packages or distributions, such as:

  Some::Package
  Some::Other::Package
  AUTHOR/Some-Dist-1.2.tar.gz
  AUTHOR/Some-Other-Dist-1.3.zip

You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN. In that case, blank lines and lines that look like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or ';') will be ignored.

COMMAND OPTIONS

--dry-run

Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any changes to the repository. Use this option to see how the command would potentially impact the stack.

--message=TEXT

-m TEXT

Use TEXT as the revision history log message. If you do not use the "--message" option or the "--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the message via your text editor. Use the "EDITOR" or "VISUAL" environment variables to control which editor is used. A log message is not required whenever the "--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield any changes to the repository.

--stack=NAME

Pins the package on the stack with the given NAME. Defaults to the name of whichever stack is currently marked as the default stack. Use the stacks command to see the stacks in the repository.

--use-default-message

-M

Use the default value for the revision history log message. Pinto will generate a semi-informative log message just based on the command and its arguments. If you set an explicit message with "--message", the "--use-default-message" option will be silently ignored.
