Hi Ashley & Germain, I’m emailing you wearing my PAUSE admin hat: I’m working on resolving conflicts caused by PAUSE now considering package names case insensitively. This has left us with some situations where two or more people are owners of namespaces previously considered distinct, and now considered the same.
Ashley (AWIN) has ownership of Qt::Base, which is on CPAN in PerlQt-1.04.tar.gz, and Germain (GGARAND) has ownership of Qt::base, which is on CPAN in PerlQt-3.008.tar.gz. To resolve this conflict, I propose dropping AWIN’s permissions on the older Qt::Base, and also deleting all of the older releases of PerlQt from Ashley’s CPAN author directory (there are a number of older releases of PerlQt appearing in the CPAN index, because various module names were changed across a number of releases. As a result someone could (theoretically) accidentally install the wrong version of PerlQt). Are you happy for me to make these changes? I don’t think they’ll cause any problems, but wanted to check you’re happy for me to do this? PAUSE doesn’t let situations like this occur any more — I’m tidying up the existing cases. Cheers, Neil
