NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PromptIfStale - Check at build/release time if modules are out of date

VERSION

version 0.013

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

    [PromptIfStale]
    phase = build
    module = Dist::Zilla
    module = Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::ME

or:

    [PromptIfStale]
    check_all_plugins = 1

DESCRIPTION

[PromptIfStale] is a BeforeBuild or BeforeRelease plugin that compares the locally-installed version of a module(s) with the latest indexed version, prompting to abort the build process if a discrepancy is found.

Note that there is no effect on the built dist -- all actions are taken at build time.

OPTIONS

• phase

  Indicates whether the checks are performed at build or release time (defaults to release).

  (Remember that you can use different settings for different phases by employing this plugin twice, with different names.)

• module

  The name of a module to check for. Can be provided more than once.

• check_all_plugins

  A boolean, defaulting to false, indicating that all plugins being used to build this distribution should be checked.

• check_all_prereqs

  A boolean, defaulting to false, indicating that all prerequisites in the distribution metadata should be checked. The modules are a merged list taken from the configure, build, runtime, test and develop phases, and the requires, recommends and suggests types.
