Add FindBin to ecosystem

[lembark]

see https://gitlab.com/lembark/Perl6-FindBin

• I agree to the usage of the META file as listed here.

• I have a license field listed in my META file that is one of https://spdx.org/licenses

  • My license is not one of those found on spdx.org but I do have a license field.
    In this case make sure you have a license URL listed under support. See this example.
  • I don't have a license field. Yes, I understand this is not recommended.

You need to put the path to the raw JSON file.

Sanity check: The URL references the META6.json file?

wget and firefox both snag the JSON for me.

Q: What is wrong with the URL?
Q: Other than an https-link to the META6.json file, what do I need to include?

[AlexDaniel]

I think it needs to be this link: https://gitlab.com/lembark/Perl6-FindBin/raw/master/META6.json

@lembark excuse my butting in here randomly, but I've sent you two mails from one account and another from a different account and I'd like to hear whether they are arriving or getting lost. thanks!

[AlexDaniel]

Also, I see CPAN:lembark. If you upload your module to CPAN, then nothing needs to be changed in this repository. http://modules.perl6.org/ and zef will pick up your module automatically (although with some delay, up to 1 day I think).

@AlexDaniel I have a question. Will http://modules.perl6.org and zef index this module if the META6.json is wrongly formatted or if any of the property in the file doesn't work? (like incorrect URL for the source-url property)?

[JJ]

There's an error with the source URL, even fixed. You need to do that yourself.

[ghost]

@lembark Consider changing the git@gitlab.com:lembark/Perl6-FindBin.git to https://gitlab.com/lembark/Perl6-FindBin or similar for the source-url property. It seems the test won't accept SSH source url.

[JJ]

It will not pass the test, it will not be indexed.

[jonathanstowe]

For reference the check-sources of Test::META would fail for git@gitlab.com:lembark/Perl6-FindBin.git as it is not a valid URI.

[JJ]

I have seen several new versions of this on CPAN. Should I close the PR?

[lembark]

At this point it should be working, I'd suggest grabbing whatever's most recent on CPAN.
I won't be updating this much going forward -- it seems to work at this point.

Q: What is this telling me about the '::'?
I don't find any double-colons in the json file...

Resolving deltas: 100% (121/121), done.

    ok 7 - name has a '::' rather than a hyphen (if this is intentional please pass :relaxed-name to meta-ok)
ok 2 - Project META file is good

Q: What is this telling me about the '::'?

The thing is, in Perl 6, distribution naming style "Foo::Bar" is preferred over "Foo-Bar", so this test checks absence of hyphens. Since your distribution name is a single piece(just "Foo", not "Foo::Bar"), it naturally doesn't have any hyphens.

[lembark]

OK... should I add a trailing hyphen to the name or is it reasonable to have the test check for a singly-named moule?

[lembark]

Sanity check: If the module is added to CPAN as "FindBin" will it be available for use? Or is zef only capable of acquiring files that are in the ecosystem file?

You don't need to do anything, the test is oked, if it is not, then it is definitely a bug. But your "ok 2 - Project META file is good" means META file is good enough.

Zef works with both CPAN and ecosystem file.
