| Subject: | Use "make dist" to Create a Distribution |
Dear Graham Seaman,
Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I found that you seems to pack the
XML-DB.tar.gz manually. Usually a distribution would look like
"Dist-Name-N.NN.tar.gz", where N.NN is the distribution. This can be
easily done by typing "make dist". Since your XML-DB.tar.gz does not
follow this convension, it cannot be parsed by CPANPLUS, and hence
people using the CPANPLUS shell cannot install your XML-DB.tar.gz. This
also results that rt.cpan.org cannot understand your distribution
version. I would like to suggest you to use "make dist" to create the
distribution, to enable people using it.
Hope that this helps. Please tell me if you need any more
information, or if I could be of any help. Thank you.
