Bug #125152 for Test-CPAN-Meta-JSON: Misleading META information: Test-CPAN-Meta is not a prerequisite

Subject:

Misleading META information: Test-CPAN-Meta is not a prerequisite

In the META.json and META.yml files of the BARBIE/Test-CPAN-Meta-JSON-0.16 distribution, Test::CPAN::Meta is listed among recommended prerequisites for testing. This is wrong. Test::CPAN::Meta is a module of similar functionality, but dependency-wise completely unrelated to Test::CPAN::Meta::JSON. And indeed, Test::CPAN::Meta is used nowhere in the test suite. See also rt.cpan.org#125151 for a similar flaw in the other module. To fix this, just drop this pseudo dependency from the metadata. The POD documentation already does a good job to point users to all three meta file testing distributions. -Martin

Sorry for the confusion. This module isn't being deprecated. However, Test::CPAN::META is currently used. Though I will be doing some cleanup soon to remove some of the confusion.
