Hi Marco,

Looking at the “csv” example, you had ownership of it. If you looked at PAUSE’s
permissions you’d have seen:
csv,MMARCO,f
Which says that you have “first-come” permissions. Only one person can have
ownership of each namespace.
In the past PAUSE treated “csv” and “Csv” as different namespaces, so user
SAKOHT ended up with:
Csv,SAKOHT,f
But now PAUSE has to treat them as essentially the same namespace, because
MacOS X and Windows have case-insensitive filesystems. The result of that you
couldn’t have both “csv” and “Csv” installed at the same time.
This meant we ended up with a relatively small number of cases where two people
have ownership of the same namespace, which as I mentioned above, shouldn’t
ever happen. If you had tried to release a new “csv” module, you’d have got an
error message back saying that it couldn’t index it, due to a permissions
conflict.

Thank you — I have dropped those permissions.
Cheers,
Neil
