NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Generate::ManifestSkip - Generate a MANIFEST.SKIP file for your distribution

VERSION

version v0.1.7

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini file:

[Generate::ManifestSkip]
:version = v0.1.3

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will generate a MANIFEST.SKIP file for your distribution, and then prune any files that match.

ATTRIBUTES

skipfile

This is the name of the file to generate. It defaults to MANIFEST.SKIP.

add

This adds a regular expression to the "skipfile".

By defaut, the following files are added to the skipfile:

\.build/
\.mailmap$
{$dist_name}-.*/
{$dist_name}-.*\.tar\.gz
perltidy\.(LOG|ERR)'
fatlib/

where $dist_name is the name of the distribution.

If the distribution has an alienfile, then _alien/ will be added,

If the distribution has a cpanfile, then cpanfile\.snapshot$ will be added.

remove

This removes a regular expression from the "skipfile". Note that it must exactly match the expression used by Module::Manifest::Skip.

By default, the following files are already removed from the skipfile:

^MANIFEST\.SKIP$
^dist\.ini$
^weaver\.ini$
^xt/

If you want them to be excluded from your distribution, then specify them with "add".
