NOTE: This module is mostly intended for module packaging frameworks to
|
||
|
|
share a common, up-to-date MANIFEST.SKIP base. For example,
|
||
|
|
Module::Install::ManifestSkip, uses this module to get the actual SKIP
|
||
|
|
content. However this module may be useful for any module author.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CPAN module authors use a MANIFEST.SKIP file to exclude certain well known
|
||
|
|
files from getting put into a generated MANIFEST file, which would cause
|
||
|
|
them to go into the final distribution package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The packaging tools try to automatically skip things for you, but if you
|
||
|
|
add one of your own entries, you have to add all the common ones
|
||
|
|
yourself. This module attempts to make all of this boring process as simple
|
||
|
|
and reliable as possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Module::Manifest::Skip can create or update a MANIFEST.SKIP file for
|
||
|
|
you. You can add your own entries, and it will leave them alone. You can
|
||
|
|
even tell it to not skip certain entries that it normally skips, although
|
||
|
|
this is rarely needed.
