Subject:

DZPTC dist does not build from the version in dev

When building the plugin from the repository at https://github.com/jquelin/dist-zilla-plugin-test-compile the distribution is not built using the This makes harder to discover bugs as the t/00-compile.t built with "dzil build" is not built from lib/Dist/Zilla/Plugin/Test/Compile.pm, but instead by the installed version of DZPTC. It would be simpler for contributors if the dist.ini was using [Bootstrap::lib] -- Olivier Mengué - http://perlresume.org/DOLMEN

What would be better is if the dist could test itself -- i.e. had unit tests :) It could also have a pre-generated compile test that was committed in the repository, rather than relying solely on generating a compile test for itself.

While the dist doesn't use itself (the new version) to test itself, t/test-compile.t does run the generated test and check that things work well -- this is less complicated and error-prone than [bootstrap::lib].
