Preparing to Release

Since we want uniform version numbers across the components included in the distribution, I always exchange the previous release version number for the upcoming, like so:

$ find lib -name "*.pm" | xargs perl -pi -e "s/1\.20/1\.21/g"

⚠️ Do be careful if version numbers are used else where, like in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS section or similar.

Tips

The test suite is quite noisy, so it is often easier to inspect it after the test run has completed.

You can accomplish this by redirecting all output into a file and then using your favorite pages.

$ dzil test >run.txt 2>&1
$ less run.txt

If you just want to see the output of the test run, not the diagnostics

$ dzil test --verbose 2>/dev/null
