Subject: | Add ^MYMETA to default skip list |
At the Perl QA hackathons and subsequent discussions, there has been
consensus among toolchain developers to standardize on a "MYMETA.yml"
file generated during configuration to be the new standard way for
toolchain modules to communicate configuration between toolchain
components. (Replacing parsing Makefile for PREREQ_PM et al.)
Current discussions on revising the CPAN META spec suggest that the new
standard format will be JSON, e.g. MYMETA.json.
These files should *never* be included with a distribution as they are
supposed to represent the end-user's local configuration result.
Therefore, any file matching qr/^MYMETA\./ should be skipped by default.
This will skip current MYMETA.yml and any future suffix if the storage
format changes.
