PAUSE and multiple META.yml
Hi Andreas,
Was PAUSE fixed to support multiple META.yml files?
As we bundle Apache-Test with modperl-2.0, until now we were excluding the
Apache-Test/META.yml from the modperl-2.0 tarball. But now we need to
bundle things within Apache-Test, so if Apache-Test/META.yml is not
included that bundle will be attempted to be indexed.
So now we will have Apache-Test/Test-Simple/ and Apache-Test/META.yml that
tells PAUSE to ignore the Test-Simple dir...
The only way to workaround this now is to copy that bit from
modperl-2.0/Apache-Test/META.yml to modperl-2.0/META.yml but it becomes
more and more error-prone.
Any plans for supporting META rules in sub-dirs as well? So each level
will only need to govern its vicinity and sub-dirs of their sub-dirs, etc.
Thanks.

Aha! That's a good news. Thanks Andreas.

As you can see this doesn't work well with bundling. But if this can't be
changed, we will do it the hard way, duplicating the data on several levels.
