Re^3: Submitting a module to cpan (releasing using git)

Everything for git and uploading a module references this blog post http://blog.usarundbrief.com/?p=36

Which clearly no longer exists.

The milla tool looks very promising. I will look into that. I used the module-start to set up my skeleton and just went from there, but maybe I should have looked into the Dist::Zilla too.

When I get this figured out I will definitely thoroughly document it someplace!

Everything for git and uploading a module references this blog post http://blog.usarundbrief.com/?p=36 Yes, but it still gives away the secret :) 1) have the cpan distrbution layout (module-starter guarantees this) 2) tag a release on github 3) give pause regular github tarball url with with a cpan dist style filename at end, ie give it http://github.com/username/perl-module-dist/tarball/tagname/Perl-Module-Dist-1.22.tgz And thats it, then press “Upload this URL” and you're done The caveats are, don't forgot to `make manifest`... so you have a MANIFEST and META.yml in the git repo	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you so much for the reference to milla! It is a lifesaver! So for anyone who was wondering when I was using PAUSE I was using the upload a url option. Using a git I created a branch for each version (like the git workflow best practices recommends) and was using the URL to that branch. I think that what happened is that it needs to be an archive, tar or zip. So if I had used https://github.com/jerowe/Annovar-Wrapper/archive/Annovar-Wrapper-1.1.zip maybe that would have been ok, but just giving PAUSE https://github.com/jerowe/Annovar-Wrapper/tree/Annovar-Wrapper-1.1 did not work. As it turns out the PAUSE upload form says archives only, but I thought that it had a utility for git since I saw that referenced. I'm going to just use milla, but its nice to know how to do it both ways. ;) A big thanks to everyone for your help!	[reply]
