Change to META.yml and SIGNATURE generation.
I've never been able to quite use MakeMaker's automatic SIGNATURE generation stuff effectively. The problem? Either I don't check it in to version control and only update it when I kick out a new distribution. Or I check it into version control and forget to update it leaving a broken SIGNATURE for those two check out from the repository. This came to a head when I added a signature.t test to Test::More. Now every time I ran the tests I was reminded the SIGNATURE file was again out of date. Similar problems with META.yml. So at Autrijus' suggestion I have altered the behavior of MakeMaker so that the META.yml and SIGNATURE files will be generated inside the distdir directory. Also they will be added to the MANIFEST file inside the distdir directory, not the source directory. So, if all goes well, you should never see a SIGNATURE nor a META.yml file. Its in the repository, try it out. -- Michael G Schwern[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Out of ammunition. God save the King.
