NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::SignReleaseNotes - Create and signs a 'Release' notes file

VERSION

version 0.0002

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will sign a 'Release' file that includes:

1. Git commits since the last tag
2. the sha256 checksum of the file that is being distributed to CPAN

the file is then signed using Module::Signature.

The resulting file can be used as the Release information for GitHub or similar.

This plugin should appear after any other AfterBuild plugin in your dist.ini file

ATTRIBUTES

sign

A string value. If always then a signature will be created after an archive is created. If always then the 'Release' file will be signed after the release. Default is always

This attribute can be overridden by an environment variable DZSIGN

METHODS

after_release

The main processing function includes getting the git information. Should likely be split up.

create_release_file

Create's the plaintext Release file contents.

do_sign

Signs the 'Release' file to Module::Signature. Unfortunately we cannot use the Module::Signature::sign function as it gets its plaintext from the list of files that are normally used.

sub get_git_checksums_and_titles

Gets the short version of the checksums and the titles of each git commit since the most recent tag that was found in the repo.

get_checksum

Get's the checksum of the file being released. Expects the filename and returns the checksum (currently sha256 only).

get_name

Get's the name of the Distribution being released. This takes it from the filename. There is likely a better way to obtain it.

get_version

Get's the version of the Distribution being released. This takes it from the $self->{zilla}->version. There is likely a better way to obtain it.
