| Subject: | gatherdir doesn't handle windows paths well, breaks tests and manifest |
Here is a patch for this: http://github.com/wchristian/dist-zilla/
commit/d8c12e00f9e01471c6f1129dfe46ecbda3800b59
And the rationale:
Ahead: All of the following assumes Win32 as the platform where these
things were observed on.
The file names DZP::GD gathers were originally in platform-native
format, this however meant two things:
1. the tests for the module failed because they expect unix-style paths
2. the MANIFEST was broken because it was written with the wrong
windows style paths, including escaping and all
A better fix would probably be to write the test so it checks for
platform-native paths and to make the MAKEFILE-writer convert to unix
style when it writes. However, that is wasted effort in my opinion,
since Windows understands unix-style paths just fine.
