NAME

Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Apocalyptic - Let the apocalypse build your dist!

VERSION


            

              
              
This document describes v0.005 of Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Apocalyptic - released October 28, 2014 as part of Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-Apocalyptic.

DESCRIPTION

This plugin bundle attempts to automate as much as sanely possible the job of building your dist. It builds upon Dist::Zilla and utilizes numerous plugins to reduce the burden on the programmer.


            

              
              
# In your dist.ini:
name = My-Super-Cool-Dist
[@Apocalyptic]

Don't forget the new global config.ini file added in Dist::Zilla v4!


            

              
              
apoc@blackhole:~$ cat .dzil/config.ini
[%User]
name  = Apocalypse
email = APOCAL@cpan.org
[%Rights]
license_class    = Perl_5
copyright_holder = Apocalypse
[%PAUSE]
username = APOCAL
password = myawesomepassword

dist.ini

This is equivalent to setting this in your dist.ini:

Setting options

However, this plugin bundle does A LOT of things, so you would need to read the config carefully to see if it does anything you don't want to do. You can override the options simply by removing the offending plugin from the bundle by using the Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Filter package. By doing that you are free to specify alternate plugins, or the desired plugin configuration manually.


            

              
              
# In your dist.ini:
name                    = My-Super-Cool-Dist
author                  = A. U. Thor
license                 = Perl_5
copyright_holder        = A. U. Thor
; we don't want to archive our releases
; we want to push to gitorious instead
[@Filter]
bundle = @Apocalyptic
remove = ArchiveRelease
remove = Git::Push
[Git::Push]
push_to = gitorious

Newer method to manipulate this bundle

This PluginBundle now supports Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::ConfigSlicer, so you can pass in options to the plugins used like this:


            

              
              
[@Apocalyptic]
Git::Push.push_to = gitorious

This PluginBundle also supports Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::PluginRemover, so dropping a plugin is as easy as this:


            

              
              
[@Apocalyptic]
-remove = ArchiveRelease

Future Plans

use XDG's Twitter plugin

I want to tweet and be a web2.0 dude! :)

use GETTY's cool Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Run::AfterRelease

I want to use that to automatically install the generated tarball


            

              
              
sudo cpanp i --force file:///home/apoc/mygit/perl-dist-zilla-pluginbundle-apocalyptic/Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-Apocalyptic-0.001.tar.gz

However, how do I get the full tarball path?

Work with Task::* dists

From Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::FLORA


            

              
              
; Not sure if it supports config_plugin = @Bundle like PodWeaver does...
[TaskWeaver]    ; weave our POD for a Task::* module ( enabled only if it's a Task-* dist )
has is_task => (
    is      => 'ro',
    isa     => Bool,
    lazy    => 1,
    builder => '_build_is_task',
);
method _build_is_task {
    return $self->dist =~ /^Task-/ ? 1 : 0;
}
...
$self->is_task
       ? $self->add_plugins('TaskWeaver')
       : $self->add_plugins([ 'PodWeaver' => { config_plugin => '@FLORA' } ]);

I would like to start digging into the dzil new command and see how to automate stuff in it.

Changes creation

create a Changes file with the boilerplate text in it


            

              
              
Revision history for Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Apocalyptic
{{$NEXT}}
        initial release

github integration

automatically create github repo + set description/homepage via Dist::Zilla::Plugin::UpdateGitHub and App::GitHub::create or App::GitHub

gitorious integration

unfortunately there's no perl API for gitorious? http://www.mail-archive.com/gitorious@googlegroups.com/msg01016.html

.gitignore creation

it should contain only one line - the damned dist build dir "/Foo-Dist-*" also, it needs the "/.build/" line?

Eclipse files creation

create the .project/.includepath/.settings stuff

submit project to ohloh

we need more perl projects on ohloh! there's WWW::Ohloh::API

DZP::PkgDist

Do we need the $DIST variable? What software uses it? I already provide that info in the POD of the file...
