Hi Andreas, I found that we had a few perl modules sitting in the Thrift.pm file which ended up being placed into the top level list of packages and versioned, so for example there's a "TApplicationException" that isn't in the Thrift:: namespace and it shows up in the master list of packages as a standalone thing. You can see evidence of this here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4069 I'll get this cleaned up. I didn't expect that every .pm file in a distribution needed to have a version tag inside it. - Jim -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Koenig [mailto:andreas.koenig.7os6v...@franz.ak.mind.de] Sent: Monday, February 6, 2017 5:20 AM To: Jim King <jim.k...@simplivity.com> Cc: modules@perl.org Subject: Re: Versioning issue - older says latest? >>>>> On Sun, 5 Feb 2017 15:55:00 +0000, Jim King <jim.k...@simplivity.com> >>>>> said: > Hi, > In CPAN for “Thrift” it says the latest version is 0.9.3, however > 0.10.0 is available: What do you mean with "it"? I just asked a cpan shell and got: cpan[1]> m Thrift Module id = Thrift CPAN_USERID JKING (James E.

It's up to you and your users. I'd make it dependent on how much orientation people will need when things go wrong. And it should probably be consistent across releases. -- andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIVACY STATEMENT: This message is a PRIVATE communication.
