NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Role::ArchiveBuilder - something that builds archives

VERSION

       version 6.025

DESCRIPTION

       Plugins implementing this role have their "build_archive" method called when it is time to
       build the archive.

PERL VERSION

       This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5
       Porters.  This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to
       three years.  (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module
       should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

METHODS

   build_archive
       This method takes three arguments, and returns a Path::Tiny instance containing the path
       to the archive.

       archive_basename
           This is the name of the archive (including "-TRIAL" if appropriate) without the format
           extension (that is the ".tar.gz" part).  The plugin implementing this role should add
           the appropriate full path including extension as the returned Path::Tiny instance.
           Not including the extension allows the plugin to choose its own format.

       built_in
           This is a Path::Tiny where the distribution has been built.

       dist_basename
           This method will return the dist's basename (e.g. "Dist-Name-1.01" as a Path::Tiny.
           The basename is used as the top-level directory in the tarball.  It does not include
           "-TRIAL", even if building a trial dist.
