💖 Dist::Inkt::DOAP 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Dist::Inkt::DOAP(3pm) page — yes it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and yes it's about to be your new fave. sit down, grab a boba 🧋, we're doing this.

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Inkt::DOAP — a whole lil collection of DOAP-related roles for Dist::Inkt. it's giving "metadata glow-up" and we're obsessed 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so Dist::Inkt is a framework for writing your own distribution builder. like, you literally build your own builder. main character energy fr fr.

at its core it's a simple class that:

  1. makes an empty directory
  2. creates a MANIFEST file listing the contents of the directory
  3. compresses it into a tarball

which… lowkey seems pretty useless on its own 😭 like okay bestie you made a tarball, slay i guess?

BUT. and this is the iconic part 👑 — it provides tonnes of hooks that can be used by roles applied to the class. and this distribution provides a collection of roles that help you populate the distribution's metadata (META.json, Changes, etc) from DOAP.

so basically: the base class does the boring thing, the roles do the cute thing. that's the vibe check. ✅

🦋 The Straight DOAP 🦋

so what even is DOAP? bestie i'm about to tell you — this explanation is lifted from Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP> 💜

DOAP (Description of a Project) is an RDF Schema and XML vocabulary to describe software projects, in particular free and open source software.

it was created and initially developed by Edd Dumbill to convey semantic information associated with open source software projects. no cap, a real one 🫶

it is currently used in the Mozilla Foundation's project page and in several other software repositories, notably the Python Package Index. periodt. 🔥
