NAME
       Dist::Inkt - yet another distribution builder


STATUS
       Experimental.


DESCRIPTION
       Dist::Zilla didn't have the prerequisite amount of crazy for me, so I wrote this instead.

       Dist::Inkt itself does virtually nothing; it creates an empty directory, generates a MANIFEST file, and
       then wraps it all up into a gzipped tarball. But it provides various hooks along the way for subclasses
       to grab hold of. So the general idea is that you write a subclass of Dist::Inkt, which consumes various
       Moose::Roles to do the actual work of populating the distribution with files.

       As such, Dist::Inkt is not so much a distribution builder, as it is a framework for writing your own
       distribution builder.

       Several roles of varying utility are bundled with Dist::Inkt, as is Dist::Inkt::Profile::Simple, a
       subclass of Dist::Inkt which consumes most of these roles.


COMPANIONS
       Dist::Inkt does just one thing - building the tarball from some checkout of the repo.

       Although roles could theoretically be written for other tasks, out of the box, Dist::Inkt doesn't do any
       of the following:

       Minting new distributions
           I'm writing a separate tool, Dist::Inktly::Minty for that.

       Test suite running
           Use App::Prove or App::ForkProve.

       CPAN Uploading
           Use CPAN::Uploader.

       Changing the version number across many files
           Use Perl::Version.

       Integration with version control tools
           Just use "hg" or "svn" or "git" of whatever as you normally would.  None of the files generated by
           Dist::Inkt should probably be checked into your repo.
