Bug #114570 for Image-BMP: META.yml/json should be present

Sun May 22 06:13:03 2016 CHORNY [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

From:	CHORNY [...] cpan.org
Subject:	META.yml/json should be present

CPAN distributions should contain files META.yml and META.json. They are generated by your build tool when creating distribution. Build tool for DAVEOLA/Image/Image-BMP-1.18.tar.gz was detected as ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Please upgrade it to latest version. You can create your distribution with these files using `make dist` (dmake on Windows). If you use VCS, you can show link to it on Metacpan and search.cpan.org. See http://perlmaven.com/how-to-add-link-to-version-control-system-of-a-cpan-distributions P.S. If this report is for an old version, please delete old indexed versions mentioned here: http://cpanold.chorny.net/?a=DAVEOLA and contact me. P.P.S. This report was generated automatically.

Upgraded, but correct yml/json files are not created. This is an old CPAN module that I barely have time to keep updated, so can someone point me to a simple howto of how to package this by the new rules? Otherwise the lack of yml/json will have to stand.

You would need to do `make manifest` first to create manifest file, then edit it to remove unneeded files (if present) then do `make dist`. Active Avast antivirus can prevent creation of META.*. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

I'm on a UNIX system - so I don't have any antivirus issues. I also don't have a makefile, so "make manifest" doesn't do anything. So again - unless someone can tell me what the META.* need to contain or how to make them, this bug will probably end up as "rejected"
