DESCRIPTION

This package allows you to write your Changes file in Turtle or \s-1RDF/XML\s0 and autogenerate a human-readable text file.

To do this, create an \s-1RDF\s0 file called \*(L"meta/changes.ttl\*(R" (or something like that) and describe your distribution's changes in \s-1RDF\s0 using the Dublin Core, \s-1DOAP\s0, and \s-1DOAP\s0 Change Sets vocabularies. Then in your Makefile.PL, include:

  write_doap_changes "meta/changes.ttl", "Changes", "turtle";

This line will read your data from the file named as the first argument, parse it using either Turtle or \s-1RDFXML\s0 parsers (the third argument), and output a human-readable changelog to the file named as the second argument.

The defaults are \*(L"meta/changes.ttl\*(R", \*(L"Changes\*(R", \*(L"turtle\*(R", so if you name the files like that, then you can exclude all the arguments and just include this in your Makefile.PL:

write_doap_changes;

There's also a line you can use to output a Changes.xml file:

write_doap_changes_xml "meta/changes.ttl", "Changes.xml", "turtle";

Integration with Module::Install::RDF

Module::Install::RDF reads all the \s-1RDF\s0 it can find in 'meta'. If you invoke Module::Install::RDF before invoking Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets, then this module will use Module::Install::RDF's copy of the data.
