Subject:

No LICENSE in META.yml

Hi there. Just reporting that there is no LICENSE declared in your META.yml file, and as a result: https://metacpan.org/module/Glib::Object::Introspection # License: unknown http://api.metacpan.org/release/_search?q=name:Glib-Object-Introspection-0.009&fields=license "fields" : { "license" : "unknown" }, As you are using Extutils::MakeMaker, which I believe only supports Meta-v1 license descriptors, you may wish to add: LICENSE => 'lgpl' To the WriteMakeFile code. Thanks.

Using plain 'lgpl' resulted in 'open_source' appearing in META.yml, because CPAN::Meta thinks that 'lgpl' is not specific enough. So I use 'lgpl_2_1' now in git master. But for some reason this leads to 'lgpl' appearing in META.yml, which metacpan.org will probably turn into 'open_source'. But that's not our bug, so I'm closing this ticket.
