Dist-Zilla-Plugin-VersionFromScript =================================== This is a plugin to generalize Dist::Zilla's concept of a version number. In your dist.ini file, add lines like: ; get version from number of Git logs [VersionFromScript] script = git-logs2version.pl The script can be any script or program that prints a version-type number (which will be used as the release version number) to STDOUT. Included in this package are two scripts for generating versions from Subversion (svnversion.pl) and Git (git-logs2version.pl). These scripts can take arguments of: --major 2 # add a major revision number --offset 35 # adds offset to the minor revision So for example, if you are at revision 50, calling script = svnversion.pl --major 3 --offset 35 produces 3.085 as the version number.
