.SH "NAME"
Dist::Inkt \- yet another distribution builder
.SH "STATUS"
.IX Header "STATUS"
Experimental.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Dist::Zilla didn't have the prerequisite amount of crazy for me, so
I wrote this instead.
.PP
Dist::Inkt itself does virtually nothing; it creates an empty directory,
generates a \s-1MANIFEST\s0 file, and then wraps it all up into a gzipped
tarball. But it provides various hooks along the way for subclasses
to grab hold of. So the general idea is that you write a subclass of
Dist::Inkt, which consumes various Moose::Roles to do the actual work
of populating the distribution with files.
.PP
As such, Dist::Inkt is not so much a distribution builder, as it is a
framework for writing your own distribution builder.
.PP
Several roles of varying utility are bundled with Dist::Inkt, as is
Dist::Inkt::Profile::Simple, a subclass of Dist::Inkt which consumes
most of these roles.
.SH "COMPANIONS"
.IX Header "COMPANIONS"
Dist::Inkt does just one thing \- building the tarball from some
checkout of the repo.
.PP
Although roles could theoretically be written for other tasks, out of
the box, Dist::Inkt doesn't do any of the following:
.IP "\fBMinting new distributions\fR" 4
.IX Item "Minting new distributions"
I'm writing a separate tool, Dist::Inktly::Minty for that.
.IP "\fBTest suite running\fR" 4
.IX Item "Test suite running"
Use App::Prove or App::ForkProve.
.IP "\fB\s-1CPAN\s0 Uploading\fR" 4
.IX Item "CPAN Uploading"
Use CPAN::Uploader.
.IP "\fBChanging the version number across many files\fR" 4
.IX Item "Changing the version number across many files"
Use Perl::Version.
.IP "\fBIntegration with version control tools\fR" 4
.IX Item "Integration with version control tools"
Just use \f(CW\*(C`hg\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`svn\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`git\*(C'\fR of whatever as you normally would.
None of the files generated by Dist::Inkt should probably be checked
into your repo.
