# NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Conflicts - Declare conflicts for your distro # VERSION version 0.19 # SYNOPSIS In your `dist.ini`: [Conflicts] Foo::Bar = 0.05 Thing = 2 # DESCRIPTION This module lets you declare conflicts on other modules (usually dependencies of your module) in your `dist.ini`. Declaring conflicts does several thing to your distro. First, it generates a module named something like `Your::Distro::Conflicts`. This module will use [Dist::CheckConflicts](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::CheckConflicts) to declare and check conflicts. The package name will be obscured from PAUSE by putting a newline after the `package` keyword. All of your runtime prereqs will be passed in the `-also` parameter to [Dist::CheckConflicts](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::CheckConflicts). Second, it adds code to your `Makefile.PL` or `Build.PL` to load the generated module and print warnings if conflicts are detected. Finally, it adds the conflicts to the `META.json` and/or `META.yml` files under the "x\_breaks" key. # USAGE Using this module is simple, add a "\[Conflicts\]" section and list each module you conflict with: [Conflicts] Module::X = 0.02 The version listed is the last version that _doesn't_ work. In other words, any version of `Module::X` greater than 0.02 should work with this release. The special key `-script` can also be set, and given the name of a script to generate, as in: [Conflicts] -script = bin/foo-conflicts Module::X = 0.02 This script will be installed with your module, and can be run to check for currently installed modules which conflict with your module. This allows users an easy way to fix their conflicts - simply run a command such as `foo-conflicts | cpanm` to bring all of your conflicting modules up to date. **Note:** Currently, this plugin only works properly if it is listed in your `dist.ini` _after_ the plugin which generates your `Makefile.PL` or `Build.PL`. This is a limitation of [Dist::Zilla](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla) that will hopefully be addressed in a future release. # SEE ALSO - [Dist::CheckConflicts](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::CheckConflicts) - [Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Breaks](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Breaks) - [Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::CheckBreaks](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::CheckBreaks) # DONATIONS If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer. Please note that **I am not suggesting that you must do this** in order for me to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me. Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at best.
