=head1 NAME

CPAN::Mini::Devel - Create CPAN::Mini mirror with developer releases

=head1 VERSION

This documentation describes version 0.03.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

     $ minicpan -c CPAN::Mini::Devel

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Normally, L<CPAN::Mini> creates a minimal CPAN mirror with the latest version of
each distribution, but excluding developer releases (those with an underscore
in the version number, like 0.10_01).  

CPAN::Mini::Devel enhances CPAN::Mini to include the latest developer and
non-developer release in the mirror. For example, if Foo-Bar-0.01,
Foo-Bar-0.02, Foo-Bar-0.03_01 and Foo-Bar-0.03_02 are on CPAN, only
Foo-Bar-0.02 and Foo-Bar 0.03_02 will be mirrored. This is particularly useful
for creating a local mirror for smoke testing.

Unauthorized releases will also be included if they resemble a distribution
name already in the normal CPAN packages list.

There may be errors retrieving very new modules if they are indexed but not
yet synchronized on the mirror.

CPAN::Mini::Devel also mirrors the C<<< indices/find-ls.gz >>> file, which is used
to identify developer releases.

=head1 USAGE

See L<Mini::CPAN>.
