Re: recover lost CPAN PAUSE account

[David Golden]

The meta github link published in October 2016 points to a repository that
appears to have been created 6 hours ago by an account that GitHub reports
was created yesterday.  Any relation between the current "mfzz" on GitHub
and the user who published App::Pastebin::Create has been severed.

Between this and other irregularities, I'm can only conclude that these
emails are an attempt to impersonate the MFZZ user and gain their
credentials.

I consider this matter closed.

PAUSE permissions clash with Stash vs stash

[Neil Bowers]

Hi Paweł & Stefan,

I’m one of the PAUSE admins. I’m working on resolving conflicts caused by PAUSE 
now considering package names case insensitively. This left us with some 
situations where two or more people are owners of namespaces previously 
considered distinct, and now considered the same.

Paweł has ownership of the Stash package, and Stefan has co-maint on it. This 
is used in the STD distribution, last released by Stefan in 2010. Your 
permissions on “Stash" clash with the “stash” package, used by TKEEFER in his 
Gantry distribution.

Many of the packages in your distribution come under the STD:: namespace, so 
the best solution would be if you could move all the packages which aren’t in 
STD:: to be in the STD:: namespace.

Are you happy to do this please?

Cheers,
Neil

Hi thanks for replying. I don't have much evidence, however. Ermm, is there anyway you can view MFZZ account email changes history? This email address should be the one that created it. Thus, before I left, I published App::Pastebin::Create. I set the meta github link to my github repository.

Re: PAUSE permissions conflict between Crypt::Tea and Crypt::TEA [PJB: Crypt::Tea]

Are you happy to rename your module? One possible name is Encryption::Tiny, 
since it’s an implementation of the Tiny Encryption Algorithm.

If you don’t have any interest in this, would you be happy to give me co-maint 
or ownership, so I could rename and release it, and then delete the old release 
and drop the associated permissions?

Cheers,
Neil

Unless I hear otherwise, I’ll drop your permissions on MCrypt tomorrow. Please 
let me know if you’re happy for me to schedule deletion of your releases of 
MCrypt as well — I’m happy to do that for you.

At least there's no other way to check the MFZZ original account creator email? Like viewing the account 'history'? I mentioned that since the first email..06.12.2016, 16:09, "David Golden" :The meta github link published in October 2016 points to a repository that appears to have been created 6 hours ago by an account that GitHub reports was created yesterday.  Any relation between the current "mfzz" on GitHub and the user who published App::Pastebin::Create has been severed.Between this and other irregularities, I'm can only conclude that these emails are an attempt to impersonate the MFZZ user and gain their credentials.I consider this matter closed.On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 12:38 AM, _ mefzz  wrote:Hi thanks for replying.
