NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Prereqs::Soften - Downgrade listed dependencies to recommendations if present.

VERSION

version 0.003000

SYNOPSIS

[Prereqs::Soften]
module = Foo
module = Bar

This module iterates build, require and test dependency lists and migrates dependencies found in .requires and demotes them to .recommends

Optionally, it can duplicate softened dependencies to other locations

ATTRIBUTES

modules

A multi-value argument that specifies a module name to soften in prereqs.

to_relationship

The output relationship kind.

Default:

'recommends'

Valid Values:

'recommends', 'suggests', 'requires', 'conflicts'

Though the last two are reserved for people with $num_feet > 2 or with shotguns that only fire blanks.

copy_to

Additional places to copy the dependency to:

Default:

[]

Example:

[Prereqs::Soften]
copy_to         = develop.requires
to_relationship = recommends
module          = Foo

This in effect means:

remove from: runtime.requires
    → add to: develop.requires
    → add to: runtime.recommends

remove from: test.requires
    → add to: develop.requires
    → add to: test.recommends

 remove from: build.requires
    → add to: develop.requires
    → add to: build.recommends
