++=head1 NAME
++
++PACKAGING - notes and best practice for packaging perl 5
++
++=head1 SYNOPSIS
++
++This document is aimed at anyone who is producing their own version of
++perl for distribution to other users. It is intended as a collection
++of useful tips, advice and best practice, rather than being a complete
++packaging manual. The starting point for installing perl remains
++F<INSTALL>.
++
++=head1 Customizing test running
++
++A small number of porting tests (those in t/porting) are not well suited
++to typical distribution packaging scenarios. For example, they assume
++they are working in a git clone of the upstream Perl repository, or
++enforce rules which are not relevant to downstream packagers. These can
++be skipped by setting the environment variable PERL_BUILD_PACKAGING.
++A complete list of tests which this applied to can be found by searching
++the codebase for this string.
++
++An alternative strategy would be to skip all porting tests, but many of
++them are useful if additional patches might be applied.
