NAME
    Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir::Tarball - Bundle your shared dir into a
    tarball

VERSION
    version 0.2.0

SYNOPSIS
        # in dist.ini

        [ShareDir::Tarball]

DESCRIPTION
    Using File::ShareDir to deploy non-Perl files alongside a distribution
    is great, but it has a problem. Just like for modules, upon installation
    CPAN clients don't remove any of the files that were already present in
    the */lib* directories beforehand. So if version 1.0 of the distribution
    was sharing

        share/foo
        share/bar

    and version 1.1 changed that to

        share/foo
        share/baz

    then a user installing first version 1.0 then 1.1 will end up with

        share/foo
        share/bar
        share/baz

    which might be a problem (or not).

    Fortunately, there is a sneaky workaround in the case where you don't
    want the files of past distributions to linger around. The trick is
    simple: bundle all the files to be shared into a tarball called
    *shared-files.tar.gz*. As there is only that one file, any new install
    is conveniently clobbering the old version.

    But archiving the content of the *share* directory is no fun. Hence
    Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir::Tarball which, upon the file munging
    stage, gathers all files in the *share* directory and build the
    *shared-files.tar.gz* archive with them. If there is no such files, the
    process is simply skipped.

    Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir, which you want to use in tandem with this
    module.
