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


SYNOPSIS
       The metrics here were based on data provided by the various downstream packaging systems, but are
       deprecated now. The list is only preserved for historical reasons.


DESCRIPTION
   Methods
       order

       Defines the order in which Kwalitee tests should be run.

       analyse

       kwalitee_indicators

       Returns the Kwalitee Indicators datastructure.


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.
