This kit was generated on a freshly installed Fedora 22 system. The most recent version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker available (7.04) was installed. However, this setup does not generate META.* files. It turns out that EU::MM requires CPAN::Meta to generate these files. If CPAN::Meta is not installed, EU::MM silently(!) skips generating these files. However, EM::MM documents CPAN::Meta as optional, and therefore the Fedora package maintainer sees no reason to add it as a requirement for the EU::MM package. >From here on it's a standoff that I am not part of. If the current CPAN policy >wants kits to have META.* files, then the EU::MM maintainer should stop >documenting CPAN::Meta as optional and add it as a requirement.
