Hi! CPANTS and Phalanx both care about Kwalitee. So I thought it might be a good idea to come up with one more or less complete list of Kwalitee-hints that both projects can use.
A lot of the hints listed at http://qa.perl.org/phalanx/kwalitee.html are rather vague, which is OK for Phalanx, as it is run by humans. But CPANTS needs a hard, computable list of hints. Anyway, here is what the dev-version of CPANTS currently cosiders as kwalitee-hints: * distname includes version * extracts nicely * does not include symlinks (which some OS cannot handle) * no strange permissions (files undeleteable by owner, eg) * contains files: * Makefile.PL or Build.PL or configure * README * MANIFEST * t/* or test.pl * one *.pm in top-level OR lib/ Hints that were in Leon's last release, but which I didn't port up to now: * POD errors * POD/Code ratio (what would be a good measurement?) * testers results * number of releases Some ideas: * wheater PREREQ_PM matches used modules (hard!) * AUTHOR != 'R.U. Thor' * Description * ratings * a lot of code analysis (to be done without running the code!!) Obviously, this list is far from complete, which is why I request some feedback on more hints for Kwalitee from all of you! -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.zsi.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
