Hi Dave, I’m one of the PAUSE admins. 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.
Your “swig” distribution has a number of packages which are now in conflict with others: Your ownership of “example” conflicts with the “Example” module, owned by MSCHLUE Your ownership of “swig” conflicts with “SWIG”, owned by JASONS Your ownership of “swig” “text” conflicts with “TEXT” (SHERZODR) and “Text” (AKHOBOV). One way to resolve these permissions conflicts would be to rename your distribution, and then put all the other modules inside that namespace. But given your swig distribution was last released in 1998, and hasn’t worked with any recent versions of Perl, I suspect that the better and easier course of action is to delete the distribution from CPAN, and drop your permissions on the relevant namespaces. Would you be happy for me to do this on your behalf? PAUSE doesn’t let situations like this occur any more — I’m working to resolve the existing cases. Cheers, Neil
