Hi David, I’m one of the PAUSE admins. I’m working through tidying up permissions conflicts that have been caused by the fact that PAUSE now consider package names case insensitively (due to case-insensitive filesystems, as on Windows and MacOS X). PAUSE doesn’t let these situations occur now, but we have some historical cases. I’m sorting these out so that we don’t need code in the toolchain for dealing with permissions conflicts.
Your Macrame distribution uses both Macrame::EXPAND and Macrame::Expand package names. Previously these were considering distinct namespaces by PAUSE, but now they’re not. To resolve this, would you be able to do a new release which renames one of these packages? Then we can drop the permissions on the no-longer-used namespace, thus resolving the conflict. I also noticed that the dist no longer works on Perl 5.23+, so if you do a release, maybe you could address that too? :-) Or if you’re no longer interested in this dist, maybe we could just remove it from CPAN and drop all permissions? If you want to go that way, I’m happy to do the relevant actions on your behalf. Cheers, Neil
