Good to know, thanks. >> Once our proposed change is released, then PAUSE would index whichever of >> URPM and urpm was most recently released.

That’s even better: if you rename urpm.pm (in the urpmi distribution) to be urpmi, then the main module in the distribution will match the distribution name, something that PAUSE requires for new distributions. And then there wouldn’t be a permissions case clash, and we won’t have to get into no_index or other hairy workarounds! Cheers, Neil
