NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AssertOS - Require that our distribution is
running on a particular OS
VERSION
version 0.08
SYNOPSIS
# In dist.ini - It is important that AssertOS follows MakeMaker or
# ModuleBuild
[MakeMaker]
[AssertOS]
os = Linux
os = FreeBSD
os = cygwin
The resultant distribution will die at Makefile.PL unless the platform
the code is running on is Linux, FreeBSD or Cygwin.
DESCRIPTION
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AssertOS is a Dist::Zilla plugin that integrates
Devel::AssertOS so that CPAN authors may easily stipulate which
particular OS environments their distributions may be built and
installed on.
The author specifies which OS or OS families are supported. The
necessary Devel::AssertOS files are copied to the inc/ directory and
Makefile.PL or Build.PL is mungled to include the necessary
incantation.
On the module user side, the bundled inc/ Devel::AssertOS determines
whether the current environment is supported or not and will die
accordingly.
As this plugin mungles the Makefile.PL/Build.PL it is imperative that
it is specified in dist.ini AFTER [MakeMaker] or [ModuleBuild].
This plugin also automagically adds the no_index metadata so that inc/
is excluded from PAUSE indexing. If you use
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaNoIndex, there may be conflicts.
ATTRIBUTES
os
Specify as many times as wanted the OS that you wish your
distribution to work with. See Devel::AssertOS and Devel::CheckOS for
what may be given.
bundle
If set to c<0> Devel::AssertOS will not be bundled in the
distribution. It will instead be added to configure_requires in the
META files so CPAN clients can install it before running Makefile.PL.
The default is 1, so Devel::AssertOS is bundled in inc.
METHODS
These are required by the roles that this plugin uses.
mvp_multivalue_args
gather_files
Required by Dist::Zilla::Role::FileGatherer.
setup_installer
Required by Dist::Zilla::Role::InstallTool.
metadata

KUDOS
Based on use-devel-assertos by David Cantrell
Build.PL support contributed by Yanick Champoux
Thanks to Ricardo Signes, not only for Dist::Zilla, but for explaining
Dist::Zilla::Role::InstallTool's place in the build process. This made
this plugin possible.
