Do things with Perl 6 META files
The below will generate the META.info for this module.
use META6;
my $m = META6.new( name => 'META6',
description => 'Work with Perl 6 META files',
version => Version.new('0.0.1'),
perl-version => Version.new('6.*'),
depends => <JSON::Class>,
test-depends => <Test>,
tags => <devel meta utils>,
authors => ['Jonathan Stowe <[email protected]>'],
auth => 'github:jonathanstowe',
source-url => 'git://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6.git',
support => META6::Support.new(
source => 'git://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6.git'
),
provides => {
META6 => 'lib/META6.pm',
},
license => 'Artistic',
production => False,
);
print $m.to-json;
my $m = META6.new('./META6.json');
$m<version description> = v0.0.2, 'Work with Perl 6 META files even better';
spurt('./META6.json', $m.to-json);
This provides a representation of the Perl 6 META files specification - the META file data can be read, created , parsed and written in a manner that is conformant with the specification.
Where they are known about it also makes allowance for "customary" usage in existing software (such as installers and so forth.)
The intent of this is allow the generation and testing of META files for module authors, so it can provide meta-information whether the attributes are mandatory as per the spec and where known the places that "customary" attributes are used,
Assuming you have a working Rakudo Perl 6 installation you should be able to install this with panda :
# From the source directory
panda install .
# Remote installation
panda install META6
This should work equally well with zef but I have not tested it.
Suggestions/patches are welcomed via github at
https://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6
I'm particulary interested in knowing about "customary" (i.e. non-spec) fields that are being used in the wild and in what software so I can add them if necessary.
