should package_versions_from_directory return local or unix paths? #25

Open wchristian opened 8 years ago

wchristian commented 8 years ago

In the fixing of #24 the question came up as to what kind of paths that function should return. I'm leaving this issue here to mark this as something needing to be decided.

@karenetheridge's input so far:

(ether) it's probably undefined (yay) (ether) we should just figure out which way makes sense and document it (ether) ->provides should return canonical (unixified) I think, since one of its usecases is to be stuffed into distribution metadata

Notably the docs for the function say:

"This must not be used directly for CPAN META provides. See the provides method instead."
