I often wonder why people praise Dist::Zilla for ease of use. Recently I heard this argument: 'It was never easier to make a release. You cannot do that with EUMM'.

So I here is my little make release snippet from on of my Makefile.PL.

There is more in it. make README, make gcov and make gprof for XS extensions.

sub depend {
  "
README : \$(VERSION_FROM)
    pod2text \$(VERSION_FROM) > README

release : dist
    git commit -a -m\"release \$(VERSION)\"
    git tag \$(VERSION)
    cpan-upload \$(DISTVNAME).tar\$(SUFFIX)
    git push
    git push --tags

gcov : \$(BASEEXT).c.gcov \$(BASEEXT).gcov cover_db/\$(BASEEXT)-xs.html

\$(BASEEXT).c.gcov \$(BASEEXT).xs.gcov : \$(BASEEXT).xs
    \$(MAKE) CCFLAGS=\"\$(CCFLAGS) -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage\" \
      LDDLFLAGS=\"\$(LDDLFLAGS) -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage\"
    gcov \$(BASEEXT).c \$(BASEEXT).xs

cover_db/\$(BASEEXT)-xs.html : \$(BASEEXT).xs.gcov
    PERL5OPT=-MDevel::Cover make test
    -$^X -S gcov2perl \$(BASEEXT).c.gcov \$(BASEEXT).xs.gcov
    $^X -S cover

gprof :
    \$(MAKE) CCFLAGS=\"\$(CCFLAGS) -pg\" LDDLFLAGS=\"\$(LDDLFLAGS) \
      -pg\"
"
}

While releasing and compiling Prima 1.33 for 5 different perls, I'm taking a moment to send a couple of warm ones towards the TIFF specification. Prima originally was written to be used in (among other) software for microscopy recordings, and recently a former colleague sent me a bunch of tiffs no software could read. Heh, here's the challenge, thought naive me. Indeed, these were 10-bit grayscale tiff bitmaps, and as bit-shuffling was some long time ago an interesting topic for me, I've implemented these in Prima's tiff codec. Everyone's…

The guinea pig CPAN release for this talk is a Perl binding for the Cron.IO service. It uses Franck Cuny's cool Net::HTTP::API library. A complete binding in like 60 lines of code. Very cool.
