Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets3pm

Overview

This package allows you to write your Changes file in Turtle or RDF/XML and autogenerate a human-readable text file.

To do this, create an RDF file called "meta/changes.ttl" (or something like that) and describe your distribution's changes in RDF using the Dublin Core, DOAP, and DOAP Change Sets vocabularies. Then in your Makefile.PL, include:

  write_doap_changes "meta/changes.ttl", "Changes", "turtle";

This line will read your data from the file named as the first argument, parse it using either Turtle or RDFXML parsers (the third argument), and output a human-readable changelog to the file named as the second argument.

The defaults are "meta/changes.ttl", "Changes", "turtle", so if you name the files like that, then you can exclude all the arguments and just include this in your Makefile.PL:

  write_doap_changes;

There's also a line you can use to output a Changes.xml file:

  write_doap_changes_xml "meta/changes.ttl", "Changes.xml", "turtle";
