NAME¶
perl-reversion - Manipulate project version numbers
SYNOPSIS¶
perl-reversion [options] [file ...]
Options:
-help see this summary
-man view man page for perl-reversion
-bump make the smallest possible increment
-bump-revision increment the specified version component
-bump-version
-bump-subversion
-bump-alpha
-set <version> set the project version number
-current <version> specify the current version
-normal print current version in a specific format OR
-numify force versions to be a specific format,
-stringify with -set or -bump
-dryrun just go through the motions, but don't
actually save files
DESCRIPTION¶
A typical distribution of a Perl module has embedded version numbers is a number
of places. Typically the version will be mentioned in the README file and in
each module's source. For a module the version may appear twice: once in the
code and once in the pod.
This script makes it possible to update all of these version numbers with a
simple command.
To update the version numbers of specific files name them on the command line.
Any directories will be recursively expanded.
If used with no filename arguments perl-reversion will attempt to update README
and any files below lib/ in the current project.
OPTIONS¶
- "-bump"
- Attempt to make the smallest possible increment to the version. The least
significant part of the version string is incremented.
1 => 2
1.1 => 1.2
1.1.1 => 1.1.2
1.1.1_1 => 1.1.1_2
- "-bump-revision"
- "-bump-version"
- "-bump-subversion"
- "-bump-alpha"
- Increment the specified version component. Like the "inc_*"
methods of Perl::Version, incrementing a component sets all components to
the right of it to zero.
- "-set <version>"
- Set the version to the specified value. Unless the "-normal"
option is also specified the format of each individual version string will
be preserved.
- "-current <version>"
- Specify the current version. Only matching version strings will be
updated.
- "-normal"
- "-numify"
- "-stringify"
- Use a specific formatting, as in "Formatting" in Perl::Version.
Alone, these options control how the current (found) version is displayed.
With "-bump" or "-set", also update version strings to
have the given formatting, regardless of the version format passed to
"-set" or the current version (for "-bump").
If none of these options are specified, perl-reversion will preserve the
formatting of each individual version string (the same as
"-stringify").
- "-dryrun"
- If set, perl-reversion will not save files. Use this to see what gets
changed before it actually happens.
