NAME

Git::Fingerd - let people finger your git server for... some reason

VERSION

version 2.093523

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a simple finger server that describes the contents of a server that hosts git repositories. You can finger @servername for a listing of repositories and finger repo@servername for information about a single repository.

This was meant to provide a simple example for Net::Finger::Server, but enough people asked for the code that I've released it as something reusable. Here's an example program using Git::Fingerd:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use Git::Fingerd -run => {
    isa     => 'Net::Server::INET',
    basedir => '/var/lib/git',
  };

This program could then run out of xinetd.

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
