Back then, in 2014 or so, when the new strictness on distribution names was introduced, I knew already that there will be unsatisfactory situations where the diagnostic message would not help. Sorry about that. I'll explain below and try to fix the message later. > Number of files: 11 > *.pm files: 1 > README: Ham-Device-FT817COMM-1.0.8/README > META-File: Ham-Device-FT817COMM-1.0.8/META.json > META-Parser: Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4414 > META-driven index: no > Timestamp of file: Sat Dec 16 04:03:13 2017 UTC > Time of this run: Sat Dec 16 04:04:44 2017 UTC > This distribution name will only be indexed when uploaded by users > with > permission for the package FT817COMM.

Unless I'm missing something else, this will do. Please try again. Sorry again, I'll try to come up with a better phrasing of the diagnostic message. Best wishes, -- andreas
