Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaYAML::Minimal - Generate a reductionist YAML META file for compatibility only
version 0.001002
[MetaYAML::Minimal]
filename = META.yml ; default
version = 1.4 ; default
Generally, if you're creating both META.json
and META.yml
, then you're doing so purely for compatibility reasons.
In such circumstances, using the same meta-data for both leads to a lot of cruft in META.yml
This Dist::Zilla
extension is for such circumstances.
However, if you are only shipping META.yml
and NOT META.json
, then using this extension
would be harmful and cause loss of information.
Presently, this extension is a PROTOTYPE, and just culls fields leading with x_
passed by Dist::Zilla
.
The final behavior may require enhancements to CPAN::Meta::Converter
and might be possibly superseded
by patches to MetaYAML
itself.
