NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CopyFilesFromBuild - Copy (or move) specific files
after building (for SCM inclusion, etc.)
VERSION
version 0.170880
SYNOPSIS
In your dist.ini:
[CopyFilesFromBuild]
copy = README
move = README.pod
copy = Makefile.PL
DESCRIPTION
This plugin will automatically copy the files that you specify in
dist.ini from the build directory into the distribution directoory.
This is so you can commit them to version control.
If you want to put a build-generated file in version control but you
don't want it to remain in the build dir, use move instead of copy.
When you use move, the MANIFEST file will be updated if it exists, and
the moved files will be pruned from their former location.
RATIONALE
This plugin is based on CopyReadmeFromBuild. I wrote it because that
plugin was copying the wrong README file (README instead of README.mkdn
or README.pod), and it could not be configured to do otherwise. So I
wrote my own module that copies exactly the files that I specify.
I added the move functionality because I wanted to generate a
README.pod file for Github, but MakeMaker wanted to also install the
README.pod file as part of the distribution. So I made it possible to
take a file generated during the build and move it out of the build
directory, so that it would not be included in the distribution.
