<URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3D109805 > This kit was generated on a freshly installed Fedora 22 system. The most = recent version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker available (7.04) was installed. How= ever, this setup does not generate META.* files. It turns out that EU::MM requires CPAN::Meta to generate these files. If = CPAN::Meta is not installed, EU::MM silently(!) skips generating these fi= les. However, EM::MM documents CPAN::Meta as optional, and therefore the Fedor= a package maintainer sees no reason to add it as a requirement for the EU= ::MM package. From here on it's a standoff that I am not part of. If the current CPAN p= olicy wants kits to have META.* files, then the EU::MM maintainer should = stop documenting CPAN::Meta as optional and add it as a requirement.=20
