| Subject: | [patch] Please add ABSTRACT/LICENSE to META.(json|yml) |
Just pointing out the LICENSE and ABSTRACT parts of your metadata fields are presently incomplete:
https://metacpan.org/source/ACOBURN/Lingua-EN-Tagger-0.18/META.yml
abstract: ~
license: unknown
As for why/how to do this, I have a lengthy blog on the subject[1], but the gist of it is, some people value those fields and it makes things better in a few places.
The attached Patch for Makefile.PL adds specifying the GPL 3 License as well as taking the abstract field out of your modules POD, and its been tested and "Works for me" with a recent enough ExtUtils::MakeMaker and CPAN::Meta
+ 'ABSTRACT_FROM' => 'Tagger.pm',
+ 'LICENSE' => 'gpl_3',
This should do what you want:
* Puts the license field "gpl_3" in META.json ( v2 spec )
* Puts the license field "gpl" in META.yml ( v1 spec )
* Puts the abstract in both above files.
CPAN::Meta = 2.120921
ExtUtils::MakeMaker = 6.6302
Hope this helps =)
