                      ; see DZP::Git::NextVersion::Sanitized

mantissa     = 6      ; Mandatory for this bundle if normal_form is numify.

toolkit     = mb   ; Which toolkit to use. Either eumm or mb
                     ; mb is default.

toolkit_hardness = hard ; Whether to upgrade *require* deps to the latest
                        ; or wether to make them merely recomendations.
                        ; Either 'soft' ( recommend ) or 'hard' ( require )
                        ; default is 'hard'

twitter_extra_hash_tags = #foo #bar ; non-default hashtags to append to the tweet

DESCRIPTION

This is the plug-in bundle that KENTNL uses. It exists mostly because he is very lazy and wants others to be using what he's using if they want to be doing work on his modules.

NAMING SCHEME

As I blogged about on blog.fox.geek.nz : Making a Minting Profile as a CPANized Dist , this bundle advocates a new naming system for people who are absolutely convinced they want their Author-Centric distribution uploaded to CPAN.

As we have seen with Dist::Zilla there have been a slew of PluginBundles with CPANID's in their name, to the point that there is a copious amount of name-space pollution in the PluginBundle name-space, and more Author bundles than task-bundles, which was really what the name-space was designed for, and I'm petitioning you to help reduce this annoyance in future modules.

From a CPAN testers perspective, the annoyance of lots of CPANID-dists is similar to the annoyance of the whole DPCHRIST:: subspace, and that if this pattern continues, it will mean for the testers who do not wish to test everyones personal modules, that they will have to work hard to avoid this. If DPCHRIST:: had used something like Author::DPCHRIST:: instead, I doubt so many people would be horrified by it, because you can just have a policy/rule that excludes ^Author::, and everyone else who goes that way can be quietly ignored.

Then we could probably rationally add that same restriction to the irc announce bots, the "recent modules" list and so-forth, and possibly even apply special indexing restrictions or something so people wouldn't even have to know those modules exist on cpan!

So, for the sake of cleanliness, semantics, and general global sanity, I ask you to join me with my Author:: naming policy to voluntarily segregate modules that are most likely of only personal use from those that have more general application.

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Foo                    # [Foo]                 dist-zilla plugins for general use
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Author::KENTNL::Foo    # [Author::KENTNL::Foo] foo that only KENTNL will probably have use for
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Classic          # [@Classic]            A bundle that can have practical use by many
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::KENTNL   # [@Author::KENTNL]     KENTNL's primary plugin bundle
Dist::Zilla::MintingProfile::Default        # A minting profile that is used by all
Dist::Zilla::MintingProfile::Author::KENTNL # A minting profile that only KENTNL will find of use.

METHODS

bundle_config

See the PluginBundle role for what this is for, it is a method to satisfy that role.

add_plugin

$bundle_object->add_plugin("Basename" => { config_hash } );

add_named_plugin

$bundle_object->add_named_plugin("alias" => "Basename" => { config_hash } );

configure

Called by in bundle_config after new

ATTRIBUTES

plugins

INTERNAL.

ArrayRef, ro, default = [], no init arg.

Populated during $self->configure and returned from ->bundle_config

normal_form

Str, ro, lazy

A normal_form to pass to [Git::NextVersion::Sanitized].

Defaults to numify

See [::Role::Version::Sanitize]

mantissa

Int, ro, defaults to 6.

Defines the length of the mantissa when normal form is numify.

See [Git::NextVersion::Sanitized] and [::Role::Version::Sanitize]

git_versions

Any, unused.

• UNUSED

Since 2.020, this field is no longer required, and is unused, simply supported for legacy reasons.

Things may not work if code has not been portaged to be Git::NextVersion safe, but that's better than going "bang".

But code will be assumed to be using Git::NextVersion.

authority

Str, ro, default = cpan:KENTNL

An authority string to use for [Authority].

auto_prereqs_skip

ArrayRef, ro, multivalue, default = []

A list of prerequisites to pass to [AutoPrereqs].skips

twitter_extra_hash_tags

Str, ro, default = ""

Additional hash tags to append to twitter

twitter_hash_tags

Str, ro, default = '#perl #cpan' . extras()

Populates extras from twitter_extra_hash_tags

tweet_url

Str, ro, default =  q[https://metacpan.org/release/{{$AUTHOR_UC}}/{{$DIST}}-{{$VERSION}}{{$TRIAL}}#whatsnew]

The URI to tweet to @kentnlrelease

toolkit_hardness

enum( hard, soft ), ro, default = hard

• hard

  Copy the versions of important toolkit components the author was using as required dependencies, forcing consumers to update aggressively on those parts.

• soft

  Copy the versions of important toolkit components the author was using as recommended dependencies, so that only consumers who are installing with --with-recommended get given the forced upgrade path.

toolkit

enum( mb, mbtiny, eumm ), ro, default = mb

Determines which tooling to generate the distribution with

• mb : Module::Build
• mbtiny : Module::Build::Tiny
• eumm : ExtUtils::MakeMaker

bump_versions

bump_versions = 1

If true, use [BumpVersionAfterRelease] and [RewriteVersions::Sanitized] instead of [PkgVersion] and [Git::NextVersion::Sanitized]

copy_files

An array of files generated by Dist::Zilla build to copy from the built dist back to the source dist

If not specified, the default contents are as follows:

copy_files = LICENSE
copy_files = Makefile.PL

These defaults can be wiped with:

copy_files = none

src_readme

src_readme = pod  ; # generate README.pod on the source side
src_readme = mkdn ; # generate README.mkdn on the source side
src_readme = none ; # don't generate README on the source side
