Summary

  • Make installed CPAN patch paths stable at Distribution/Patch.patch.
  • Keep versioned source directories for patch provenance.
  • Broaden patched distribution matches so new CPAN releases are attempted.
  • Add documentation and a regression test for the path convention.

Verification

  • perl src/test/resources/unit/cpan_generic_patch_paths.t
  • make
  • CPAN bootstrap smoke test for generic patch paths

Use stable distribution-level patch paths and broad distropref matches so
compatibility patches are attempted for newly released CPAN versions.
