NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AutoVersion::Relative - Time-Relative versioning

VERSION

version 0.02000000

SYNOPSIS

Like all things, time is relative. This plugin is to allow you to auto-increment versions based on a relative time point.

It doesn't do it all for you, you can choose, its mostly like The AutoVersion Plugin except there's a few more user-visible entities, and a few more visible options.

CONFIGURATION

To configure this, you specify the date that the version is to be relative to.

Serving Suggestion

[AutoVersion::Relative]
major = 1
minor = 1
year  = 2009 ;  when we did our last major rev
month = 08   ;   "           "
day   = 23   ;   "           "
hour  = 05   ;   "           "
minute = 30  ;   "           "
second = 00  ;  If you're that picky.

time_zone = Pacific/Auckland  ;  You really want to set this.

 ; 1.0110012
format = {{$major}}.{{sprintf('%02d%04d%02d', $minor, days, hours }}

For the list of tuneables and how to use them, see "ATTRIBUTES" and "DATE ATTRIBUTES"

FORMATTING

There are a handful of things we inject into the template for you

# Just to give you an idea, you don't really want to be using this though.
{{ $major }}.{{ $minor }}{{ days }}{{ hours }}{{ $relative->seconds }}

See "FORMAT FIELDS" for the available fields and their use.

WARNING

If you don't specify Y/M/D, it will default to Jan 01, 2000 , because I couldn't think of a more sane default. But you're setting that anyway, because if you don't,you be cargo cultin' the bad way
