Subversion for Perl module development on Geo-ReadGRIB
I'd been doing my development on Geo-ReadGRIB without using source control. The main reason was that, in the MakeMaker environment the .svn/ directories is problematic. The big problem is that the generated makefile will try to do something reasonable with the .svn/ stuff as a part of the distribution. Reasonable in this case means not ignoring them. I should have realized that I wasn't the first one to have this problem. A few minutes searching turned up a solution at [use.perl.org http://use.perl.org/~rafael/journal/9262]. Basically, I need to create a MANIFEST.SKIP file and add my own version of libscan() to Makefile.PL ... Works like a charm. [/items/Subversion] permanent link
