Re: MANIFEST.SKIP and ignoring gvim .swp files (vi)

Just edit your MANIFEST file. I've never had a MANIFEST generated for me so I'm not sure what steps people are using that cause this problematic automatic population of the MANIFEST, including files that they don't want. I only want things in the MANIFEST that I intentionally want included in the module. Worst case for a huge module is "vi MANIFEST" and ":r !find" and delete some lines.

I guess the other piece is figuring out what is throwing things into your MANIFEST and stop doing that.

Digging further, it seems that the MANIFEST is not the problem. The contents of this file are always clean - no .swp files appear. It seems that the logic behind the scenes in MakeMaker is detecting these files when it writes the Makefile. I'll carry on digging. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ?
