Signed-off-by: Sebastian Morr --- Good day, fine Sirs and Madams, I just built Git for the first time, issued "git status", and there was this untracked file. I guess you could call that an itch. This patch fixes that, however, I'm not sure whether this is a relevant issue. Didn't know whom to Cc, as the perl directory doesn't seem to get much attention lately.

I could swear I sent it to the list, but it appears that I forgot. The only thing I would add is the reason this is suddenly coming up now: generating MYMETA.yml is done only by new-ish versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker (it started for me with perl 5.14, which just hit debian unstable recently). The file just contains extra information about the environment and arguments to the Makefile-building process, and can be safely deleted. -Peff ``` ## Sebastian Morr, 2011-12-02 22:55 Subject: [PATCH v2] Add MYMETA.yml to perl/.gitignore Message-ID: <20111202225528.GA1176@thinkpad> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20111202225528.GA1176%40thinkpad In-Reply-To: <20111201223520.GB4869@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` This file is auto-generated by newer versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker (presumably starting with the version shipping with Perl 5.14).

I do not mind doing s/and can be.*/and should be ignored./ myself, if you want. Does running "make clean" actually remove it, by the way? > Signed-off-by: Sebastian Morr > --- > perl/.gitignore | 1 + > 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/perl/.gitignore b/perl/.gitignore > index 98b2477..9235e73 100644 > --- a/perl/.gitignore > +++ b/perl/.gitignore > @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ > perl.mak > perl.mak.old > +MYMETA.yml > blib > blibdirs > pm_to_blib ``` ## Sebastian Morr, 2011-12-03 00:07 Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] Add MYMETA.yml to perl/.gitignore Message-ID: <20111203000729.GA19672@thinkpad> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20111203000729.GA19672%40thinkpad In-Reply-To: <7vvcpymti3.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` On Fri, Dec 02, 2011 at 03:41:24PM -0800, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Sebastian Morr writes: > > > This file is auto-generated by newer versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker > > (presumably starting with the version shipping with Perl 5.14).

Yes, it does. perl/perl.mak (which, in turn, is generated by MakeMaker via perl/Makefile) takes care of that file explicitly. ```
