There is no use of, nor benefit from keeping "Makefile", "MANIFEST" and "META.yml" files under version control.
These files can be re-genrated easily using default Makefile.PL. They are not required during development of the libraries, nor for their proper functionality, and are only necessary while distributing them. So keeping them in Verson control is pointless. -- Sherzod > -----Original Message----- > From: Shlomi Fish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 1:09 PM > To: Perl Module Authors List > Subject: Should I keep META.yml under Version Control? > > > Hi! > > I'm maintaining several modules on CPAN: > > http://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/ > > At the moment I'm using ExtUtils::MakeMaker for all of my modules.
