Dist::Zilla::Plugin::DistINI - a plugin to add a dist.ini to newly-minted dists

version 4.200008

This plugins produces a dist.ini file in a new dist, specifying the required core attributes from the dist being minted.

This plugin is dead simple and pretty stupid, but should get better as dist minting facilities improve. For example, it will not specify any plugins.

In the meantime, you may be happier with a dist.ini template.

This parameter may be a filename in the profile's directory to append to the generated dist.ini with things like plugins. In other words, if your make this file, called plugins.ini:

  [@Basic]
  [NextRelease]
  [@Git]

...and your profile.ini includes:

  [DistINI]
  append_file = plugins.ini

...then the generated dist.ini in a newly-minted dist will look something like this:

  name    = My-New-Dist
  author  = E. Xavier Ample <example@example.com>
  license = Perl_5
  copyright_holder = E. Xavier Ample
  copyright_year   = 2010

  [@Basic]
  [NextRelease]
  [@Git]
