NAME

Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::MELO - Be like MELO when you build your dists

VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

# dist.ini
[@Author::MELO]

DESCRIPTION

This is the way MELO is building his dists, using Dist::Zilla and in particular Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::Easy.

I'm still working through all the kinks so don't expect nothing stable until this warning disappears.

This Bundle was forked from RWSTAUNER.

RATIONALE

These are the facts about my code that I would like the bundle to take advantage off, or enforce, on all my dists:

I use git

This means that the release process should tag and push each new release to my remote repositories.

I use Github for code and issue/bug tracking

Although I keep my code on several remote repositories, Github is the public face for my code, and the official location of the main repository for it.

I also like the integration between the code tools and the issue tracker, and the new issue dashboard, so I prefer to use Github Issues as my prefered bugtracker for all my modules.

I still track whatever is sent to RT, but I'll most likely move the ticket over to Issues and link the two.

Better to test as much as possible locally before shipping

Catching a typo or a bug before shipping is much better than receiving the FAIL CPAN Testers report, so I enable a lot of Author and Release tests.

CONFIGURATION

Possible options and their default values:

auto_prereqs         = 1  ; enable AutoPrereqs
disable_tests        =    ; corresponds to @TestingMania.disable
fake_release         = 0  ; if true will use FakeRelease instead of 'releaser'
authority            = 'cpan:MELO' ; to make D::Z::P::Authority happy
install_command      = cpanm -v -i . (passed to InstallRelease)
placeholder_comments = 1 ; use '# VERSION' and '# AUTHORITY' comments
releaser             = UploadToCPAN
skip_plugins         =    ; default empty; a regexp of plugin names to exclude
skip_prereqs         =    ; default empty; corresponds to AutoPrereqs.skip
weaver_config        = @Author::MELO
test_pod_links       = 1  ; Pod::Links and Pod::No404s enabled
test_perl_critic     = 0  ; No Perl::Critic by default
test_report_versions = 0  ; No ReportVersions::Tiny by default

The fake_release option also respects $ENV{DZIL_FAKERELEASE}.

The release option can be set to an alternate releaser plugin or to an empty string to disable adding a releaser. This can make it easier to include a plugin that requires configuration by just ignoring the default releaser and including your own normally.

NOTE: This bundle consumes Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::Config::Slicer so you can also specify attributes for any of the bundled plugins. The option should be the plugin name and the attribute separated by a dot:

[@Author::MELO]
AutoPrereqs.skip = Bad::Module

Note that this is different than

[@Author::MELO]
[AutoPrereqs]
skip = Bad::Module

which will load the plugin a second time. The first example actually alters the plugin configuration as it is included by the Bundle.

See "CONFIGURATION SYNTAX" in Config::MVP::Slicer for more information.

If your situation is more complicated you can use the skip_plugins attribute to have the Bundle ignore that plugin and then you can add it yourself:

[MetaNoIndex]
directory = one-dir
directory = another-dir

[@Author::MELO]
skip_plugins = MetaNoIndex

EQUIVALENT dist.ini

This bundle is roughly equivalent to:

[Git::NextVersion]      ; autoincrement version from last tag

; choose files to include (dzil core [@Basic])
[GatherDir]             ; everything under top dir
[PruneCruft]            ; default stuff to skip
[ManifestSkip]          ; custom stuff to skip
; use PruneFiles to specifically remove ^(dist.ini)$
; use PruneFiles to specifically remove ^(README.pod)$ (just for github)

; munge files
[Authority]             ; inject $AUTHORITY into modules
do_metadata = 1         ; default
[NextRelease]           ; simplify maintenance of Changes file
; use W3CDTF format for release timestamps (for unambiguous dates)
time_zone = UTC
format    = %-9v %{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'}d
[OurPkgVersion]         ; inject $VERSION (use PkgVersion if 'placeholder_comments' == 0)
[Prepender]             ; add header to source code files

[PodWeaver]             ; munge POD in all modules
config_plugin = @Author::MELO
; 'weaver_config' can be set to an alternate Bundle

; generate files
[License]               ; generate distribution files (dzil core [@Basic])
[Readme]

; metadata
[Bugtracker]            ; include bugtracker URL and email address (uses RT)
[Repository]            ; determine git information (if -e ".git")
[GithubMeta]            ; overrides [Repository] if repository is on github

[AutoPrereqs]
; disable with 'auto_prereqs = 0'

[MetaNoIndex]           ; encourage CPAN not to index:
directory = corpus
directory = examples
directory = inc
directory = share
directory = t
directory = xt
namespace = Local
namespace = t::lib
package   = DB

[MetaProvides::Package] ; describe packages included in the dist
meta_noindex = 1        ; ignore things excluded by above MetaNoIndex

[MinimumPerl]           ; automatically determine Perl version required

[MetaConfig]            ; include Dist::Zilla info in distmeta (dzil core)
[MetaYAML]              ; include META.yml (v1.4) (dzil core [@Basic])
[MetaJSON]              ; include META.json (v2) (more info than META.yml)

[Prereqs / TestRequires]
Test::More = 0.96       ; recent Test::More (including proper working subtests)

[ExtraTests]            ; build system (dzil core [@Basic])
[ExecDir]               ; include 'bin/*' as executables
[ShareDir]              ; include 'share/' for File::ShareDir

[MakeMaker]             ; create Makefile.PL

; generate t/ and xt/ tests
[ReportVersions::Tiny]  ; show module versions used in test reports
[@TestingMania]         ; *Lots* of dist tests
[Test::PodSpelling]     ; spell check POD (if installed)

[Manifest]              ; build MANIFEST file (dzil core [@Basic])

; actions for releasing the distribution (dzil core [@Basic])
[CheckChangesHasContent]
[TestRelease]           ; run tests before releasing
[ConfirmRelease]        ; are you sure?
[UploadToCPAN]
; see CONFIGURATION for alternate Release plugin configuration options

[@Git]                  ; use Git bundle to commit/tag/push after releasing
[InstallRelease]        ; install the new dist (using 'install_command')

ENVIRONMENT

We use a lot of modules and plugins and some of them can enable or disable features based on environment variables. I've copied some of the more useful ones to here.

= DZIL_FAKERELEASE

Enable to skip the release to CPAN as the final step of a dzil release run.

= SKIP_POD_LINKCHECK

If true, the Test::Pod::LinkCheck module is not used, and the Pod links will not be checked.

See also the configuration test_pod_links to disable this check permanently.

= SKIP_POD_NO404S

If true, the Test::Pod::No404s module is not used, and any links on your Pod will not be checked to see if they really exist.

See also the configuration test_pod_links to disable this check permanently.
