Bug #76720 for ExtUtils-MakeMaker: No META.yml/.json generated

Fri Apr 20 03:17:17 2012 MARKOV [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

No META.yml/.json generated

In 6.62, the logic for Makefile.metafile disappeared: when you run distdir, there is no META.yml generated anymore. Most developers will have their META.yml in their packaging directory... but unexperienced developers will probably "forget" to create a META.yml or META.json file. Besides, the manual says: make distdir ... Additionally, it will create META.yml and META.json module meta- data file in the distdir and add this to the distdir's MANIFEST. You can shut this behavior off with the NO_META flag.

The only way it can happen is if CPAN::Meta is broken or out of date. MakeMaker bundles CPAN::Meta so that should not happen unless something has been done to change the MakeMaker install process. Please check that CPAN::Meta is installed, it is not listed as a normal dependency. I will change the metafile logic to simply die if CPAN::Meta is missing rather than silently skip generating them.

CPAN::Meta was 2.110440, installed with SuSE 12.1 Upgrading helps! Show quoted text

Much better. And add a minimal requirement iff installed. -- Regards, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.net

6.63_02 introduced instructions for proper packing in README.packaging and a BUILDING_AS_PACKAGE environment variable to add all the bundled modules as prereqs. So that should take care of that once it's released stable and works its way through.
