I recommend that you take the name in the form that Fitbit uses. If that's the old namespance, bump the version to the next major version. You might go as far as putting in a a warning on installation. However, if the interface is the same (or supported) despite the implementation it might not be a problem. I think you and John can work that out to transfer names and permissions, but if you need help let us know. To get rid of anything, you can delete the distros from CPAN (they'll be on BackPAN still) and if the namespace is registrered, you can go to the metadata page and set its lifecycle to "Can be deleted". https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=delete_files https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=edit_mod Good luck, :) -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org PAUSE instructions: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about Archives: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules Please send all messages back to modules@perl.org with no CC to me.
