Would it be useful to turn this into a script?
(Decided to ask before starting on one)
What I'm thinking about:
a) fetching the latest version from CPAN - compare that with the
version in ext/.
If it's the same - end + report as such.
If not the same:
- show the output of diff -u
- show the output of diff -b -B -u
b) Try to figure out what version is in ext/ (based on VERSION) get
that version from CPAN and compare.
If it's the same - end + report as such.
If not the same:
- show the output of diff -u (should be ready for patch)
- show the output of diff -b -B -u
- create a patch that increments version numbers in ext/ (using _01,
_02, ....)
Ideas? Comments?
Kind regards,
Bram
