Kengo Seki commented on AVRO-1461:
----------------------------------
I checked the distribution (Avro-1.9.2.tar.gz) created by {{./build.sh dist}}
before uploading it, and unfortunately found a problem.
The perl modules in that distribution don't have proper version info, which is
[required in the CPAN
document|https://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html#version].
{code}
# Install required modules to build
sekikn@ubuntu1804:~$ sudo apt-get install cpanminus libmodule-install-perl

The distribution seems to be created successfully, but it doesn't have version
info, due to the lack of {{../../share/VERSION.txt}}.
{code}

For your reference, if it's built within the whole Avro source tree, the
{{$VERSION}} variables are properly set, as follows:

{code}
I'd like to fix this problem first and publish the distribution after Avro
1.10.0 is released, rather than publishing an incomplete one as 1.9.2.
Is that OK with you [~rskraba] [~iemejia]?
