1.71 Fri Jan 30 13:28:31 2015
* GH #47: create_t breaks plugins. (David Pottage)
1.70 Tue Jan 20 20:56:31 2015
* Change the url for issues from rt.cpan.org to GitHub (David Pottage)
* Added a missing module to prerequisites (David Pottage)
* Marked t/pod* test scripts as RELEASE_TESTING (David Pottage)
* Moved boilerplate test to xt/ directory (David Pottage)
* Added a --fatalize option to generate code where warnings are fatal
This changes the default behaviour, as fatal warnings are now considered
unwise for any public module that many others depend on.

files are not there.

MANIFEST is now created via the proper builder.
Kept create_MANIFEST to act as hook.

1.520 (upstream 1.52).
Pkgsrc changes:
- Set LICENSE
- Drop dependencies on devel/p5-Test-Pod and p5-Test-Pod-Coverage
Upstream changes:
1.52 Mon Jul 27 01:25:03 CDT 2009
* Support for more licenses. Thanks to Shlomi Fish.
* Fix slashing problems for Windows. Thanks Olivier Mengue
* Complains about extra unparsed options to try to detect
problems that come out of misquoted variables. Thanks to Gunnar Wolf.
* The list of files to ignore is now called ignore.txt,
which you can turn into .cvsignore, .gitignore, MANIFEST.SKIP
or whatever.
* Handles authors with apostrophes in their names better.
Thanks to, not surprisingly, Dave O'Neill.
* Removed module requirements on Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage
for Module::Starter to be built and installed. However,
t/pod.t and t/pod-coverage.t do still both get created even
if either of their two main modules are not installed.
Pkgsrc chnages:
o Add a couple of BUILD_DEPENDS
Upstream changes:
1.50 Tue Oct 28 00:27:37 CDT 2008

1.43_02 Wed Apr 25 09:37-Wed May 09 14:46 PDT 2007 <cjac@colliertech.org>
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* broke Module::Starter::Simple's README_guts and module_guts
methods into smaller, override-able pieces
* re-factored Module::Starter::Simple's build system; the
build metadata now lives in Module::Starter::BuildSet. This
allows us access to the metadata from the test suite. It
also makes it a bit easier to add supported builders.
* added a test Plugin module (based on Module::Starter::PBP)
* wrote a test suite for running module-starter
* wrote a test suite for Module::Starter::BuildSet
* modified the critic Makefile target to name the policy which
raised the violation
* Split most long lines (>80 chars) on whitespace
[FIXES]
* Ensured that perlcritic succeeds without errors or warnings
* Added perlcriticrc to the MANIFEST
* corrected build -> builder in module-starter --help docs
1.43_01 Wed Mar 28 12:21:00 EDT 2007
[FIXES]
* Now properly reports on all files in --verbose mode.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Add support for Module::Install
Packages Collection.
The Perl 5 module Module::Starter is a simple starter kit for any
module. Module::Starter is used to create a skeletal CPAN distribution
including basic builder scripts, tests, documentation, and module
code. This module is used via the provided front-end script
module-starter.
