Exercise: MANIFEST file


We have a file called MANIFEST listing all the required files in a distribution. One file on every line.

Check if all the file exist.

Check if there are files that are not listed in MANIFEST

Optionally allow for wildcards in the file ?

Example MANIFEST file:


examples/shell/package/MANIFEST
Makefile.PL
README
MANIFEST
lib/Module.pm

Expected solution:


File 'Makefile.PL' listed in MANIFEST is missing from package
File 'CHANGES' on disk but is not listed in MANIFEST
