# Dist::Inkt::DOAP(3pm)

various DOAP-related roles for Dist::Inkt

## NAME

Dist::Inkt::DOAP - various DOAP-related roles for Dist::Inkt

## DESCRIPTION

Dist::Inkt is a framework for writing your own distribution builder. It's a simple class that makes an empty directory, creates a MANIFEST file listing the contents of the directory, and then compresses it into a tarball.

Which seems pretty useless. However, it provides tonnes of hooks that can be used by roles applied to the class. This distribution provides a collection of roles that help you populate the distribution's metadata (META.json, Changes, etc) from DOAP.

### The Straight DOAP

So what is DOAP? This explanation is lifted from Wikipedia \<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP\>.

*DOAP (Description of a Project) is an RDF Schema and XML vocabulary* *to describe software projects, in particular free and open source* *software.*

*It was created and initially developed by Edd Dumbill to convey* *semantic information associated with open source software projects.*

*It is currently used in the Mozilla Foundation's project page and* *in several other software repositories, notably the Python Package* *Index.*
