DEPLOY PROCESS

This module uses Dist::Zilla for the release process. To get it up and running do the following:

cpanm Dist::Zilla
git clone https://github.com/ideegeo/Daemonise
cd Daemonise
dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm
dzil listdeps --author --develop | cpanm

At this point all required plugins for Dist::Zilla and modules to run tests should be installed. Daemonise uses PGP signed github releases, so make sure your git config user and email are setup correctly as well as a PGP key that matches your git(hub) account email. Try Config::Identity for a PGP encrypted file of your github account credentials in ~/.github for convenience. Finally run:

dzil release

which will do all the work (build, test, sign, tag, update github, upload).
