💖 DISTINKT-DIST(1p) 💖

okay so bestie, we're doing a user-contributed Perl documentation page today — this is distinkt-dist, section 1p of the manual. she's a little script, she's iconic, she builds tarballs. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

distinkt-dist — build a tarball for a Dist::Inkt-based distribution 🦋

like. that's the whole job. she makes the tarball. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

distinkt-dist [OPTIONS]

that's it, that's the vibe. options go in, tarball comes out 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the tea, bestie — these are the Supported options 🍓

  • --targetdir=Str — where she puts the goods. defaults to "$name-$version", no cap. so if you don't say anything, she just names it after the dist and its version and moves on with main character energy ✨
  • --should_compress=Bool — do we squish it? defaults to true. yes babe we're compressing, that's the standard. 💖
  • --should_sign=Bool — do we sign it? defaults to true. cryptographic signature, we're being official about it, periodt 🔥
  • --TRAVIS — this one's just a lil shortcut bestie, okay? she's literally just saying:
--should_sign=0 --should_compress=0

so no signing, no compressing. it's giving "CI just wants the files, chill" 🌸

now listen — the original literally says: by rooting through the source code for Dist::Inkt you may be able to find other options that might or might not work. that's not a bit, that's the actual documentation. go dig through the source, detective 🕵️‍♀️ ngl it's a bit of a scavenger hunt but we respect the mystery 🙈
