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.

       analyse

       kwalitee_indicators

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.
