Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaYAML::Minimal - Generate a reductionist YAML META file for compatibility only
version 0.001001
[MetaYAML::Minimal] filename = META.yml ; default version = 1.4 ; default
Generally, if you're creating both META.json and META.yml, then you're doing so purely for compatibility reasons.
META.json
META.yml
In such circumstances, using the same meta-data for both leads to a lot of cruft in META.yml
This Dist::Zilla extension is for such circumstances.
Dist::Zilla
However, if you are only shipping META.yml and NOT META.json, then using this extension would be harmful and cause loss of information.
Presently, this extension is a PROTOTYPE, and just culls fields leading with x_ passed by Dist::Zilla.
x_
The final behavior may require enhancements to CPAN::Meta::Converter and might be possibly superseded by patches to MetaYAML itself.
