Hello Neil,
Hello Tim,

thanks for the co-maintenance. I just pushed a new version with
hopefully more to follow, as time allows.

Regards,
Ahmad

PAUSE permissions clash between Load and load modules [MPOURASG - Load]

2016-10-27 Thread Neil Bowers
Hi George,

I’m emailing you wearing my PAUSE admin hat: I’m working on resolving conflicts 
caused by PAUSE now considering package names case insensitively. This has left 
us with some situations where two or more people are owners of namespaces 
previously considered distinct, and now considered the same.

You own the Load namespace, which is used in your FastDB distribution. This now 
clashes with the “load” module, which is owned by PAUSE user ELIZABETH.

To resolve this conflict, I’d like to propose that you rename the modules in 
your distribution to follow the usual convention of all being in the namespace 
of the distribution. So your modules would be renamed as follows:

Delete  =>  FastDB::Delete
Load=>  FastDB::Load
Question=>  FastDB::Question

I could then drop your permissions on the Delete, Load, and Question namespaces.

Are you happy to make this change please?

PAUSE doesn’t let situations like this occur any more, so I’m working through 
the existing cases, trying to get them resolved.

Cheers,
Neil
