Bug #128125 for IPC-SRLock: Some version mismatches between META.yml and installed files

Subject:

Some version mismatches between META.yml and installed files

(lowest priority) During routine auditing of my cpan smoking jobs I discovered that the following modules get installed without a $VERSION: IPC::SRLock::Base IPC::SRLock::Constants IPC::SRLock::Fake IPC::SRLock::Fcntl IPC::SRLock::Memcached IPC::SRLock::Sysv IPC::SRLock::Utils The distributed META.yml declares them all as version = 0.31.1 in the provides section. This is my second report of that kind. I begin to suspect it might be a Dist::Zilla issue.

RT-Send-CC:

KENTNL [...] cpan.org

I found an interesting stanza: https://github.com/pjfl/p5-ipc-srlock/blob/master/dist.ini#L41-L43 which contains: [MetaProvides::Package] inherit_version = 0 meta_noindex = 1 Is it possible that MetaProvides::Package did not respect the inherit_version=0 setting? Or am I missing something? (CC'ing KENTNL)

Needs more configuration to get that behaviour:

Thanks! Somehow I missed that point in the manpage, indeed.
