When I am working on an update to a CPAN distribution, I say "make
clean", then create the Makefile in the customary way -- but I get a
warning about files missing from my "kit".
#####
$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
MYMETA.json
MYMETA.yml
Please inform the author.
Generating a Unix-style Makefile
Writing Makefile for List::Compare
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
#####
MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json are then written.
I list MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json in the distribution's MANIFEST, so
they are included in the tarball which gets uploaded to CPAN. I don't
customarily put either MYMETA.* under version control (in this case, git).
What is the significance of the warning? Should I take any steps to
avert it?
Thank you very much.
