Granular Linux is a desktop-oriented distribution based on PCLinuxOS. Its primary goals are to be easy to use and user-friendly. With the new preview release of version 1.0, Granular has come a long way toward achieving these goals, and becoming a unique distribution with its own benefits and problems.

Test::CheckManifest(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Test::CheckManifest(3pm)

NAME
Test::CheckManifest - Check if your Manifest matches your distro VERSION
version 1.25 SYNOPSIS
use Test::CheckManifest; ok_manifest(); DESCRIPTION
"Test::CheckManifest" EXPORT There is only one method exported: "ok_manifest" METHODS
ok_manifest [{exclude => $arref}][$msg] checks whether the Manifest file matches the distro or not. To match a distro the Manifest has to name all files that come along with the distribution. To check the Manifest file, this module searches for a file named "MANIFEST". To exclude some directories from this test, you can specify these dirs in the hashref. ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test/']}); is ok if the files in "/path/to/your/dist/var/test/" are not named in the "MANIFEST" file. That means that the paths in the exclude array must be "pseudo-absolute" (absolute to your distribution). To use a "filter" you can use the key "filter" ok_manifest({filter => [qr/.svn/]}); With that you can exclude all files with an '.svn' in the filename or in the path from the test. These files would be excluded (as examples): o /dist/var/.svn/test o /dist/lib/test.svn You can also combine "filter" and "exclude" with 'and' or 'or' default is 'or': ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test'], filter => [qr/.svn/], bool => 'and'}); These files have to be named in the "MANIFEST": o /var/foo/.svn/any.file o /dist/t/file.svn o /var/test/test.txt These files not: o /var/test/.svn/* o /var/test/file.svn EXCLUDING FILES
Beside "filter" and "exclude" there is another way to exclude files: "MANIFEST.SKIP". This is a file with filenames that should be excluded: t/my_very_own.t file_to.skip ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Great thanks to Christopher H. Laco, who did a lot of testing stuff for me and he reported some bugs to RT. AUTHOR
