Or perhaps just INFO, and put a comment or > something at the top that indicates that it's written in YAML? An extension is always good to indicate the format. After all, somebody some day might want to write the next generation of the thing in XML. Uppercase is good to indicate that this file has a special status (although one uppercase character might be enough). The basename INFO sounds too unspecific to me and has a connotation to be targeted at a human reader. Maybe META or METADATA or DISTMETA or BUILDMETA or CPANMETA? -- andreasThread Previous | Thread Next
