Dist::Zilla::App::Command::self - Build a distribution with a bootstrapped version of itself.
version 0.001003
This is a different approach to using [Bootstrap::lib] that absolves a distribution from needing to forcibly embed bootstrapping logic in dist.ini
[Bootstrap::lib]
dist.ini
dzil self build
This is largely similar to using
[Bootstrap::lib] try_built = 1
and doing
dzil build && dzil build
And similar again to:
dzil run bash -c "cd ../; dzil -I$BUILDDIR/lib dzil build"
Or whatever the magic is that @ETHER uses.
This also means that:
dzil self release
Is something you can do.
The nature of this implies that your distribution will probably need an older generation of itself for the initial bootstrap.
That is to say:
dzil build
Must work, and use Generation.Previous to build Generation.Build
Generation.Previous
Generation.Build
dzil self foo
Will call dzil build for you, to build Generation.Build, and then invoke
dzil foo
To use Generation.Build to build Generation.Next
Generation.Next
1. Generation.Previous
A previously installed incarnation of your dist.
2. Generation.Build
The iteration of building the distribution itself from source using Generation.Previous
3. Generation.Next
The iteration of building the distribution itself from source using Generation.Build
