Bug #60941 for Dist-Zilla-Plugin-Authority: do_metadata should default to true

Wed Sep 01 10:43:10 2010 rafl [...] debian.org - Ticket created

Subject:	do_metadata should default to true
Date:	Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:42:05 +0200
To:	bug-Dist-Zilla-Plugin-Authority [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Florian Ragwitz <rafl [...] debian.org>

The x_autority field in META.yml is the actually important part of CPAN's concept of "authority". The global $AUTHORITY is only informational and for runtime introspection, but isn't actually looked at by any of the tools. Therefore I think making do_metadata = 1 the default would be a good thing.

Agreed. At first I wasn't sure, but since you did the research, thanks! :) The next version ( released *soon* will default it to true ) -- ~Apocalypse

Thanks again for the idea, v1.001 on CPAN adds this functionality :) -- ~Apocalypse
