I am afraid I only upgraded ExtUtils::MakeMaker ... There is no META.yml in any of my latest distributions. Maybe you can figure-out why. The file did automatically get generated as side-effect with "make dist". -- Regards, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.net

I think it's a local problem as this was the only new instance of 673 tarballs built that lacked META files: there have been 38 others, mostly older ones like Pod::Spell but also Net::LDAP even that from 2 months ago can only mention what Ext::MM says * CPAN::Meta needs to be installed * NO_MYMETA attribute used on command-line or in call to WriteMakefile sorry can't offer much more Danny

It is certainly a change in behavior of ExtUtils::MakeMaker which will bite you more. In version 6.57_05 (Revision: 65705), the Makefile generated contains: # --- MakeMaker distmeta section: distmeta : create_distdir metafile $(NOECHO) cd $(DISTVNAME) && $(ABSPERLRUN) -MExtUtils::Manifest=maniadd -e 'eval { maniadd({q{META.yml} => q{Module meta-data (added by MakeMaker)}}) } ' \ -e ' or print "Could not add META.yml to MANIFEST: $${'\''@'\''}\n"' -- But version 6.62 (Revision: 66200) # --- MakeMaker distmeta section: distmeta : create_distdir metafile cd $(DISTVNAME) && $(ABSPERLRUN) -MExtUtils::Manifest=maniadd -e 'exit unless -e q{META.yml};' \ -e 'eval { maniadd({q{META.yml} => q{Module YAML meta-data (added by MakeMaker)}}) }' \ -e ' or print "Could not add META.yml to MANIFEST: $${'\''@'\''}\n"' -- cd $(DISTVNAME) && $(ABSPERLRUN) -MExtUtils::Manifest=maniadd -e 'exit unless -f q{META.json};' \ -e 'eval { maniadd({q{META.json} => q{Module JSON meta-data (added by MakeMaker)}}) }' \ -e ' or print "Could not add META.json to MANIFEST: $${'\''@'\''}\n"' -- In the old case, there will always be a META.yml. In de second only when the file already exists. In my release process, I first copy the files which are to be released into a clean directory, then run the tests to be sure that everything is ok for the end-user. I think that ExtUtils::MakeMaker needs to be repared. -- Regards, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions drs Mark A.C.J.

indeed, particularly since the potential impact (assuming META files considered important) I can throw up a quick bug report from your email if you don't have time, though obviously better coming from you. Danny

ExtUtils::MakeMaker changed policy (again) which broke this. I have changed my release process.
