Kwalitee Issues

no_pax_headers

If you use Mac OS X >= 10.6, use gnu tar (/usr/bin/gnutar) to avoid PAX headers. It's also important to rename (shorten) long file names (>= 100 characters) in the distribution.

Error: pax_global_header,pax_global_header

has_meta_yml

Add a META.yml to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.

no_files_to_be_skipped

Fix MANIFEST.SKIP or use an authoring tool which respects MANIFEST.SKIP. Note that each entry in MANIFEST.SKIP is a regular expression. You may need to add appropriate meta characters not to ignore necessary stuff.

Error: t/.perl_checker

buildtool_not_executable

Change the permissions of Build.PL/Makefile.PL to not-executable.

manifest_matches_dist

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.

Error:

  • MANIFEST (491) does not match dist (497):
  • Missing in MANIFEST: .gitignore, .svnignore, ChangeLog, README.transifex, po/.gitignore, po/.tx/config, po/ast.po, t/.perl_checker, t/data/SPECS/failing-scriptlets/sh.spec
  • Missing in Dist: META.yml, po/POTFILES.in, polkit/org.mageia.urpmi.update.policy.in

prereq_matches_use

List all used modules in META.yml requires

Error:

  • Gtk3
  • MDV::Distribconf
  • XML::LibXML::Reader

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

Make sure that the main module name and version are the same of the distribution.

has_meta_json

Add a META.json to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.

proper_libs

Move your *.pm files in a directory named 'lib'. The directory structure should look like 'lib/Your/Module.pm' for a module named 'Your::Module'. If you need to provide additional files, e.g. for testing, that should not be considered for Kwalitee, then you should look at the 'provides' map in META.yml to limit the files scanned; or use the 'no_index' map to exclude parts of the distribution.

Error: gurpm/RPMProgressDialog.pm, gurpmi.pm, urpm.pm, urpm/args.pm, urpm/bug_report.pm, urpm/cdrom.pm, urpm/cfg.pm, urpm/download.pm, urpm/get_pkgs.pm, urpm/install.pm, urpm/ldap.pm, urpm/lock.pm, urpm/main_loop.pm, urpm/md5sum.pm, urpm/media.pm, urpm/mirrors.pm, urpm/msg.pm, urpm/orphans.pm, urpm/parallel.pm, urpm/parallel_ka_run.pm, urpm/parallel_ssh.pm, urpm/prompt.pm, urpm/removable.pm, urpm/select.pm, urpm/signature.pm, urpm/sys.pm, urpm/util.pm, urpm/xml_info.pm, urpm/xml_info_pkg.pm

meta_yml_has_license

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.

use_warnings

Add 'use warnings' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens.

Error: gurpm::RPMProgressDialog, gurpmi, urpm, urpm::bug_report, urpm::cdrom, urpm::download, urpm::get_pkgs, urpm::install, urpm::lock, urpm::main_loop, urpm::md5sum, urpm::media, urpm::mirrors, urpm::msg, urpm::orphans, urpm::parallel, urpm::parallel_ka_run, urpm::parallel_ssh, urpm::prompt, urpm::removable, urpm::select, urpm::signature, urpm::util, urpm::xml_info, urpm::xml_info_pkg

test_prereq_matches_use

List all modules used in the test suite in META.yml test_requires

Error:

  • Expect
  • File::Slurp

has_separate_license_file

This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
