The above is _not_ a\nrhetorical question that implies that I _think_ the patch should instead\nchange the existing \"MYMETA.yml\" to \"MYMETA.*\" without adding a new entry\nto ignore \"MYMETA.json\". It is a pure question, and a valid answer could\nbe \"I checked with Perl people and they promise they won't be adding any\nmore MYMETA.foo left and right with new MakeMaker releases\", in which case\nthe original patch is absolutely the right thing to do.\n\nI am simply asking because I do not know.\n\n>\n>> the build and is cleaned up with 'make clean', so it should be ignored.\n>>\n>> Signed-off-by: Jack Nagel \n>> ---\n>> perl/.gitignore | 1 +\n>> 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)\n>>\n>> diff --git a/perl/.gitignore b/perl/.gitignore\n>> index 9235e73..d5c6e22 100644\n>> --- a/perl/.gitignore\n>> +++ b/perl/.gitignore\n>> @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@\n>> perl.mak\n>> perl.mak.old\n>> +MYMETA.json\n>> MYMETA.yml\n>> blib\n>> blibdirs\n"},{"id":"181779","messageId":"CACBZZX5kkX3jc-PvSe2=ZWm1DC8tWvsZN9q5G4JabEVnvf6TQA@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"29262","inReplyTo":"7vmxabyiby.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org","subject":"Re: [PATCH] Add MYMETA.json to perl/.gitignore","fromName":"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason","fromEmail":"avarab@gmail.com","sentAt":"2011-12-29T09:50:57Z","receivedAt":"2011-12-29T09:50:57Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"avarab@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45301?v=4"},"body":"On Thu, Dec 29, 2011 at 07:58, Junio C Hamano wrote:\n> I am simply asking because I do not know.\n\nIt'll stay JSON for the forseeable future.
