request: provision to create dist tarballs from source directory #5

Closed artvogel closed 2 years ago

artvogel commented 2 years ago

I've tried for a bit, but have been unable to build cpan-style tarballs of btcpaywall without adding a $VERSION and modifying the source more than I'd like.

In my testing, it would be great if it was easy to build cpan-style tarballs from the git checkouts, (perhaps ones with versions like 0.00001_01).

(I looked into submitting a PR to easily make tarballs, but it got pretty involved with distribution tools and I wasn't sure which one you wanted to use, or was most appropriate).

Hey, could you elaborate a bit more on the idea - what is your use case for the tarballs? When it comes to distribution tools, I'm open to suggestions.

artvogel commented 2 years ago

I want to have tarballs with versions to create different test/production, (and testnet/livenet) installations. I'd like to have tarballs with versions to create these environments from, instead of using git and git hashes because it's more consistent with how I typically do things and how I usually install software.

I have little opinion on what particular distribution tool to use, I guess whatever is more familiar/consistent with your other perl distros.

Right, that's fair. Also, I've been thinking about the possibility of CPAN distribution at some point, so might as well do the very first step. I'll add a very basic Makefile.PL - it's up to you to create a manifest file (make manifest should be enough) and set the version variable in Makefile.PL to whatever you like. Feel free to close this issue if that's sufficient

It's been 20 days since I added EU::MM to the project, so I assume that's enough of a solution to this issue.
