NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaResourcesFromGit - Metadata resource URLs from Git configuration

VERSION

version 1.103620

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini or profile.ini:

 [MetaResourcesFromGit]

DESCRIPTION

This plugin is a drop-in replacement for Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaResources for users of Git. It automatically provides three resource links to your distribution metadata, based on the name of the distribution and the remote URL of the Git repository you are working from.

The default links are equivalent to:

 homepage        = https://github.com/%a/%r/wiki
 bugtracker.web  = https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=%N
 repository.url  = git://github.com/%a/%r.git
 repository.web  = https://github.com/%a/%r
 repository.type = git

Any other resources provided to this Plugin are passed through to the MetaResources Plugin as-is. If you wish to override one of the above, use the formatting options below. If you wish to suppress the appearance of one of the above resources, set an empty or false value in dist.ini.

CONFIGURATION

Plugin Options

name

The name of your Perl distribution in the format used by CPAN. It defaults to the name option you have provided in dist.ini.

remote

The alias of the Git remote URL from which the working repository is cloned. It defaults to origin.

homepage

A link on the CPAN page of your distribution, defaulting to the wiki page of a constructed http://github.com repository for your code. You can use the formatting options below when overriding this value.

bugtracker.web

A link on the CPAN page of your distribution, defaulting to its corresponding http://rt.cpan.org homepage. You can use the formatting options below when overriding this value.

repository.url

A link on the CPAN page of your distribution, defaulting to the read-only clone URL belonging to a contructed http://github.com repository for your code. You can use the formatting options below when overriding this value.

repository.web

A link on the CPAN page of your distribution, defaulting to the web based source browsing page for at http://github.com for the repository.url. You can use the formatting options below when overriding this value.

Formatting Options

The following codes may be used when overriding the homepage, bugtracker.web, <repository.url> and repository.web configuration options.

%a

The "account" (username) as parsed from the remote repository URL in the local Git configuration. This is currently (probably) GitHub-centric.

%r

The "repository" (or, project name) as parsed from the remote repiository URL in the local Git configuration. This is currently (probably) GitHub-centric.

%N

The name of the distribution as given to the name option in your dist.ini file. You can also use %{lc}N or %{uc}N to get the name in lower or upper case respectively, or %{deb}N to get the name in a Debian GNU/Linux package-name format (libfoo-bar-perl).

TODO

  • Make things less GitHub-centric.

THANKS

To cjm from IRC for suggesting this as a better way to meet my needs.
