NAME

       Module::CPANTS::Kwalitee::Distros - Information retrieved from the various Linux and other distributions

SYNOPSIS

       The metrics here are based on data provided by the various downstream packaging systems.

DESCRIPTION

   Methods
       order

       Defines the order in which Kwalitee tests should be run.

       analyse

       kwalitee_indicators

       Returns the Kwalitee Indicators datastructure.

       o   distributed_by_debian

	   True if the module (package) is repackaged by the Debian-Perl team and you can install it using the package management system of
	   Debian.

       o   latest_version_distributed_by_debian

	   True if the latest version of the module (package) is repackaged by Debian

       o   has_no_bugs_reported_in_debian

	   True for if the module is distributed by Debian and no bugs were reported.

       o   has_no_patches_in_debian

	   True for if the module is distributed by Debian and no patches applied.

Caveats
       CPAN_dist, the name of CPAN distribution is inferred from the download location, for Debian packages. It works 99% of the time, but it is
       not completely reliable.  If it fails to detect something, it will spit out the known download location.

       CPAN_vers, the version number reported by Debian is inferred from the debian version.  This fails a lot, since Debian has a mechanism for
       "unmangling" upstream versions which is non-reversible. We have to use that many times to fix versioning problems, and those packages will
       show a different version (e.g. 1.080 vs 1.80)

       The first problem is something the Debian people like to solve by adding metadata to the packages, for many other useful stuff (like
       automatic upstream bug tracking and handling). About the second... well, it's a difficult one.

       CPANTS does not yet handle the second issue.

NAME

       cpants_lint - commandline frontend to Module::CPANTS::Analyse

SYNOPSIS

	   cpants_lint path/to/Foo-Dist-1.42.tgz

	   Options:
	       --help		   brief help message
	       --man		   full documentation
	       --verbose	   print more info during run
	       --no_capture	   don't turn on capturing of STDERR and STDOUT

	       --dump		   dump result using Data::Dumper
	       --yaml		   dump result as YAML

	       --to_file	   dump result to a file
	       --dir		   directory to dump files to

DESCRIPTION

       "cpants_lint" checks the Kwalitee of CPAN distributions. More exact, it checks how a given tarball will be rated on
       "http://cpants.perl.org", without needing to upload it first.

       "cpants_lint" is also used by "cpants.perl.org" itself to check all dists on CPAN.

       For more information on Kwalitee, and the whole of CPANTS, see "http://cpants.perl.org" and / or "Module::CPANTS::Analyse".

OPTIONS

       If neither "--dump" nor "--yaml" are used, a short text describing the Kwalitee of the distribution and hints on how to raise Kwalitee will
       be displayed. The format of this text can change anytime, so don't use it for any automated processing!

       --help

       Print a brief help message.

       --man

       Print manpage.

       --verbose

       Print some informative messages during testing of dists.

       --no_capture

       Turn off capturing of STDOUT and STDERR. Mostly useful during debugging / development of new features.

       If "--no_capture" is used, the value of "cpants_error" might be wrong.

       --dump

       Dump the result using Data::Dumper

       --yaml

       Dump the result as YAML.

       --to_file

       Output the result into a file instead of STDOUT.

       The name of the file will be Foo-Dist.yaml (well, the extension depends on the dump format and can be ".yaml", ".dump" or ".txt")

       --dir

       Directory to dump files to. Defaults to the current working directory.
