Kwalitee Fails
Core metrics
These fails do affect your Kwalitee scores. This distribution may not be installed cleanly, or may have some issues in license or documentation. Please consider fixing them, or tell us if they are false.
| metric | remedy |
|---|---|
| metayml is parsable |
The META.yml file of this distribution could not be parsed by the version of CPAN::Meta::YAML.pm CPANTS is using. If you don't have one, add a META.yml file. Else, upgrade your YAML generator so it produces valid YAML. |
| metayml conforms to known spec |
META.yml does not conform to any recognised META.yml Spec. Take a look at the META.yml Spec at http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html (for version 1.4) or http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CPAN::Meta::Spec (for version 2), and change your META.yml accordingly. |
| has meta yml |
The file "META.yml" is missing from this distribution. META.yml is needed by people maintaining module collections (like CPAN), for people writing installation tools, or just people who want to know some stuff about a distribution before downloading it. Add a META.yml to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it. |
| manifest matches dist |
MANIFEST does not match the contents of this distribution. Run a proper command ("make manifest" or "./Build manifest", maybe with a force option), or use a distribution builder to generate the MANIFEST. Or update MANIFEST manually. |
| no pod errors |
The documentation for this distribution contains syntactic errors in its POD. Note that this metric tests all .pl, .pm and .pod files, even if they are in t/. See 'pod_message' in the dist error view for more info. Remove the POD errors. You can check for POD errors automatically by including Test::Pod to your test suite. |
| prereq matches use |
This distribution uses a module or a dist that's not listed as a prerequisite. List all used modules in META.yml requires |
| package version matches dist version |
None of the package versions in this distribution matches the distribution version. Fix the version(s). |
Extra metrics
These fails affect your total Kwalitee score, but don't affect the one for the Game. Some of them should be fixed by all means. Others are just matters of taste.
| metric | remedy |
|---|---|
| metayml declares perl version |
This distribution does not declare the minimum perl version in META.yml. If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs. |
| metayml has license |
This distribution does not have a license defined in META.yml. Define the license if you are using in Build.PL. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade to ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.31. |
Experimental metrics
These fails are not serious and don't affect your Kwalitee scores at all.
| metric | remedy |
|---|---|
| metayml has provides |
This distribution does not have a list of provided modules defined in META.yml. Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build does this automatically for you. |
| easily repackageable by fedora |
It is easy to repackage this module by Fedora. Fix each one of the metrics this depends on. |
| fits fedora license |
Fits the licensing requirements of Fedora (Acceptable licenses: (perl, apache, artistic_2, gpl, lgpl, mit, mozilla)). Replace the license or convince Fedora to accept this license as well. |
