| Subject: | Add Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Fake |
There are a number of required fields that are required which make it
difficult to use Dist::Zilla for anything other than distributions
intended for CPAN.
It would be nice if there was a Plugin like FakeRelease which provides
fake data for those fields.
( Or remove those requirements )

As an example:
Say you have a repository of Template::Toolkit files.
You want to be able to run `dzil build`, and have it build those files
into a set of html files.
You may want to be able to run `dzil test`, and have those files tested
for spelling, and check that they are well-formed.
You may also want to be able to use Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GitBuild, to
store those files in another branch, and use
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GitPush push that branch to a public repository.
### dist.ini:
; name =
[Fake]
; version = 2011-03-18
version = %{ymd}D
run_on_build = somecommand
[Git::CommitBuild]
branch =
release_branch = html
; %v would be the current date.
release_message = Built on %v
[Git::Push]
push_to = webserver html
push_to = backup master
This represents an actual usage I had for Dist::Zilla.
Instead I had to copy from Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::CommitBuild to do
what I had intended.
