I've gone ahead and patched up a copy of the spec to resolve the version issues I've been going on about (David, I wouldn't expect you to do the work after you've just did all the work to mint the whole release).
The work can be found here for review. http://github.com/schwern/cpan-meta/commits/master I'm sure the wording around how to convert could be done better. Here's what was done: Clarifications: -------------- AFAIK what I wrote exactly matches what version.pm does now. If it doesn't, its a mistake. * Version comparison has been documented. * Version conversion has been documented. Changes: ------- * Downgraded the 999 dotted version limit to a "should". Rationale: Its only for extreme backwards compat. * Reduced the minimum number of integers in a dotted version to one. Rationale: Neither v1 nor v1.2 are ambiguous. * Three integers in a dotted version is now a "should". Rationale: Its still a good idea. * Changed the spec version to v3.0.0 to enable finer grained versioning spec changes. See <http://semvar.org>. * Changed the CPAN::Meta distribution version to v3.0.0.0 reflecting it as the first release of the library representing v3.0.0 of the spec. See https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=55718 for the patch that allows vX.Y.Z Dist::Zilla versions. -- 101.
