NAME
    App::lcpan::Bootstrap - Bootstrap database for lcpan

VERSION
    This document describes version 20230108.0.0 of App::lcpan::Bootstrap
    (from Perl distribution App-lcpan-Bootstrap), released on 2023-01-08.

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
    This distribution contains the database for lcpan (updated
    periodically), so you can save time when setting up your local CPAN
    mirror the first time. Without a boostrap database, indexing the mirror
    for the first time can take several hours. With a fairly recent
    bootstrap database, indexing time can be reduced to an hour or much
    less.

    Note however, that this particular bootstrap is produced with this lcpan
    configuration:

     max_file_size=209715200

     ; these are skipped because they are very large (contains thousands+ of
     ; autogenerated modules) and increase the indexing time by several times.
     skip_index_file_patterns = ^eBay-API-\d
     skip_index_file_patterns = ^Google-Ads-GoogleAds-Client-\d
     skip_index_file_patterns = ^Google-Ads-AdWords-Client-\d
     skip_index_file_patterns = ^GOOGLE-ADWORDS-PERL-CLIENT-\d
     skip_index_file_patterns = ^Microsoft-AdCenter-\d
     skip_index_file_patterns = ^Paws-\d
     skip_index_file_patterns = ^VMOMI-\d

    which means release files over 200MB as well as those matching the above
    patterns are not processed (their distribution metadata are not
    extracted and parsed, their PODs are also not parsed). This should be
    fine for many use-cases, but if you do not want the above configuration,
    you'll not be able to use this bootstrap.

    The compressed bootstrap database is stored in the distribution's share
    directory. lcpan will search for this bootstrap database the first time
    it is run.

    If you run lcpan before installing this distribution, your empty
    database will already be created. To use the bootstrap database, install
    this distribution, remove the empty created index.db, then run lcpan
    again.

CONTRIBUTING
    To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
    requests on GitHub.

    Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
    can simply modify the code, then test via:

     % prove -l

    If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
    on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
    Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
    Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
    other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
    required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
