Regarding the TODO item in STATUS:
- Sadly, the PAUSE indexer still doesn't speak META.yml. We need
to find a way to get the APR::Request* packages indexed (with
proper version numbers), and prevent the indexer from inspecting
the supporting modules in */t, and glue/perl/xsbuilder/tables.
I think the problem with not recognizing the APR::Request*
packages is that the .pm files found under
glue/perl/xsbuilder/APR/Request are skeletons, and hence
don't contain a 'package' declaration, which I believe the
PAUSE indexer looks for when parsing a file. What might work
is supplying, like mod_perl-2 does, a
APR::Request::DummyVersions module that just contains
package APR::Request
$APR::Request::VERSION = xxx
package APR::Request::CGI
$APR::Request::CGI::VERSION = xxx
etc.
As for getting PAUSE to ignore packages, I think adding
=========================================================
no_index:
file:
- whatever/file.pm
- whatever/file2.pm
package:
- another::package
- another::package2
========================================================
to META.yml would work.
I could work on adding these two things, if desired.
