Request: minil build, dist, release should support --trial and adjust release_status

[cxw42]

minil release supports the --trial option that changes the tgz filename. However, it still shows the release_status as stable (unless I'm doing something wrong; see example). For consistency, would you be willing to make two changes?

• set release_status to testing if --trial is given
  • support --trial on minil build and minil dist

That way I could see the full code to be released using build or dist before actually running release. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

I agree. We should set release_status testing.

support --trial on minil build and minil dist

I don't think so. Minilla sets release_status unstable intentionally if it is in a git repository.

@skaji Thank you for your comment!

Minilla sets release_status unstable intentionally if it is in a git repository.

That makes sense. However, I am confused. On my system, I do not see this behaviour. See, e.g., https://github.com/tokuhirom/Minilla/blob/v3.1.4/lib/Minilla/Project.pm#L420 - release_status is set for underscore versions, but I do not see a test for being in a git repository.

I see the following:

$ minil new Acme-Foo
$ cd Acme-Foo
$ git remote add upstream https://cxw42@github.com/cxw42/Acme-Foo.git
$ minil build
$ grep release_status Acme-Foo*/*
Acme-Foo-0.01/META.json:   "release_status" : "stable",
Acme-Foo-0.01/MYMETA.json:   "release_status" : "stable",

Would you be willing to try this, or let me know what I'm missing? Much appreciated!
