Hi Mike, Thanks for that - I've transferred first-come on Archive::Tar::Wrapper to Graham (HAARG).
Here's what I think happened: • You did the first N releases of Archive-Tar-Wrapper, from 2005 to 2015. As a result, you had the first-come indexing permission. • You gave co-maint on it to ARFREITAS, who did releases from 2018 to June this year. • Because your releases were superseded, when you look at your author page on MetaCPAN it doesn't list your latest release of Archive-Tar-Wrapper. • ARFREITAS then deleted everything from his account, which resulted in the distribution/module disappearing from the CPAN Index. • When you delete the latest version of a distribution from an author directory, PAUSE doesn't go back through history to find the most recently uploaded version that's still available, to put that in the index. That could cause various problems. As a result, it disappeared from the CPAN Index. Graham is going to do a release, presumably based on the last indexed release from ARFREITAS, just to restore it. Thank you both. Neil
