Re: Your Data-Properties releases

Dear Neil,

I'm afraid I can not maintain a package on CPAN. I have no idea how to do
it, what are the expectations, what are the rules of operation and what is
the responsibility of the maintainer.
Yes, this is a personal problem, I could learn it. However I think the
current situation cannot be solved correctly. We cannot know if anybody
already relies on Johan's Data::Properties 1.05+. So switching back to
Brian's original code can shock someone else.

So I have to eat the leek and I can just pray that no one at the "Enormous
Big Co." (what I work for) "upgrades" the v0.02 package in the corporate
RPM repository.

Regards

Gabor

Dear Neil,

You have a second chance. :-) You may take over the namespace but you
should keep strict compatibility with the original module. In such a
situation new features and different behavior can be introduced via new
methods and extra parametrization of the old ones.

Cheers

Gabor
