These changes to a couple of my scripts were done some time ago, but I never pushed them out or announced them.
faq2html, which I use to convert package README files and other
documentation to something suitable for the web, no longer tries to parse
the document for leading headers when a title is specified with -t
.
This makes the web page generation for new copyright-format 1.0 LICENSE
files a little less awful, although I really need to write an HTML
converter specifically for that file format. (That will require me to
figure out what a reasonable web conversion of that file format actually
is.)
You can get the latest version of faq2html from my web tools page.
The release script I use to prepare and move around copies of my software
releases has been updated to handle Perl distributions that use
Build.PL
a little better, and to generate xz-compressed tarballs if
the upstream build system only generates gzip-compressed tarballs (as
Perl's does). I'm moving towards standardizing on xz compression for all
of my software releases, although I'll also provide gzip-compressed
tarballs for the forseeable future.
You can get the latest version of release from my scripts page.
