Fwd: Perl CPAN distribution 'Text-Balanced'
I'm looking to get a co-maint bit for Text-Balanced since the owner (DMANURA) has not responded to any requests for a long time now (see emails below). Is this the right place to ask? I've also enquired whether either of the two existing co-maintainers could roll out a new release. They both responded to email, but neither has followed up with a release... This module has been out of sync with what's in blead for a long time now, and I'm primarily just looking to get that straightened out. I'm unlikely to become an active maintainer of the module myself, but I will happily roll out new releases with changes from blead. My CPAN ID is SHAY. -- Forwarded message -- From: Steve Hay Date: 13 January 2015 at 17:58 Subject: Re: Perl CPAN distribution 'Text-Balanced' To: a...@ali.as Cc: davidm.c...@math2.org, Damian Conway , ad...@cpan.org Is there any way to get this moving? I had the reply below from Adam, plus "I would be very happy if David were to make Steve a co-maintainer. (Having given up control of the module, I can't do so myself)." from Damian, but sadly no reply from David, nor when I emailed him again individually a month or so later (18 Oct 2013). It sounds like only David could give me a co-maint bit, so if there is still no reply from David then is there any chance that either of the other two co-maintainers (Adam and Damian) could make a release? Or is this a case of the Keepers of the PAUSE needing to step in if the primary maintainer of a module (one that's in core at that!) still doesn't reply?

Fwd: Failed: PAUSE indexer report SHAY/Apache-Test-1.39.tar.gz
Please can somebody investigate and hopefully remedy the failed
indexing report below?
As far as I can make out there is no problem with the files being
indexed; only with the parsing of them and possibly one issue with
mod_perl -1.27. What needs to be done to resolve the latter?
Thanks,
Steve

It is trying hard, but sometime it fails. As a workaround,

Module Namespace Registration Question
Hi, I registered a new module namespace recently (Win32-UTCFileTime, user-id: SHAY) and have since uploaded two versions of that module. Both have been indexed OK, but when I login to PAUSE and go to "Edit Module Metadata" I find that this module is not in my list. Should it be? The text at the top of that page says: "The select box shows all the modules that have been registered for user SHAY officially via [EMAIL PROTECTED], i.e. that are included (or about to be included) in the module list. If you are missing certain pieces, please let [EMAIL PROTECTED] know" Well, I've registered it officially, so presumably it will be included in the module list one day, but I note that the list hasn't been updated for nearly a year! Can I not edit the metadata until it is actually in the module list? The above seems to suggest that I'll be able to edit it as soon as it is registered, even if it is not yet listed. Thanks, Steve
[Fwd: Module Namespace Registration Question]
I never got a reply to the e-mail below. I still can't "Edit Module Metadata" for Win32-UTCFileTime, even now that PAUSE maintenance has finished. How often is The Module List released???!!!

Module List updates?
Is the Module List (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html) ever going to get updated again, or has that been abandoned now? It is currently monstrously out-of-date (27 Aug 2002), which seems to prevent me from using the "Edit Module Metadata" item on PAUSE. (I can only edit modules that are listed in the Module List, not those that I've added since Aug 2002.) - Steve

The publishing frequency of the modulelist itself is not enabling/preventing editing of metadata on PAUSE. Authors can edit metadata as soon as a namespace proposal is confirmed by an admin. Oh, right. So how does one get a namespace proposal confirmed by an admin? I have two modules currently on CPAN (Win32::SharedFileOpen and Win32::UTCFileTime). I posted "Module submission"s for both, but I can only edit module metadata for the former. Now that I search the archives, I see that only the former ever got a "New module ..." message from PAUSE, but I didn't do anything different. Why did one module get confirmed but the other didn't? Does somebody need to click one of the links at the bottom of the "Module submission" mail for Win32::UTCFileTime: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/2003-05/msg00472.html If so, I'd appreciate somebody doing so. (It says the links are only valid for module list maintainers.) Thanks, - Steve
Registration Request
Hi, I would like to register as a CPAN developer. Name: Steve Hay Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home page: N/A Preferred user-ID: SHAY Initially I intend to contribute a new Win32:: module which makes the Microsoft Visual C functions _sopen() and _fsopen() available from Perl. These functions are counterparts to the standard _open() and _fopen() functions, but are intended for opening a file for sharing. They provide a convenient means of opening and locking the file (denying read, write or read+write access) in one go. - Steve Hay

Re: Failed: PAUSE indexer report SHAY/libapreq2-2.15.tar.gz
Hi, Regarding the failed indexer job below, is it possible to get permission to upload this new libapreq2 release? (Or more specifically to get it indexed, since I see it has been uploaded here: https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/). I have perms to upload mod_perl2 releases, but haven't done a libapreq2 before. It appears I don't have the necessary perms for this. (The PAUSE View Permissions page for libapreq2 says that the special APML name has comaint, which I thought might confer perms to me, but it obviously doesn't work like that!) I offered to do this on behalf of Joe Orton, who put the release on Apache servers (see http://httpd.apache.org/apreq/download.cgi) but he's never done CPAN uploads before. He confirmed he's happy for me to do it on his behalf here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rc729a2b2a857963f6c03a99217f8946f2981fe5ffc5a7cbcd0d0ab18%40%3Cdev.httpd.apache.org%3E Thanks, Steve On Tue, 23 Feb 2021 at 13:28, PAUSE wrote: > > The following report has been written by the PAUSE namespace indexer. > Please contact modules@perl.org if there are any open questions. > > User: SHAY (Steve Hay) > Distribution file: libapreq2-2.15.tar.gz > Number of files: 312 > *.pm files: 24 > README: libapreq2-2.15/README > META-File: libapreq2-2.15/META.yml > META-Parser: Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4414 > META-driven index: yes > Timestamp of file: Tue Feb 23 13:26:47 2021 UTC > Time of this run: Tue Feb 23 13:28:39 2021 UTC > > This distribution name will only be indexed when uploaded by users with > permission for the package libapreq2.

Does this mean that my recent upload of libapreq2-2.15 will soon appear on metacpan.org? If not then is there any way to fix that? Perhaps I need to contact someone at metacpan.org instead now?

It ended with "Nothing in this distro has been indexed, because according to META.yml this package does not provide any modules." but comparing the META.yml with that in libapreq2-2.13 (which presumably is indexed since it appears on MetaCPAN?) I see nothing but the expected differences. In particular, they both list the same set of "provided modules", with just the versions bumped from 2.13 to 2.15. > > Will try again later,,, Thanks again :-)

Let me > know when I overlooked anything. Thanks for this. I'm happy to see that this release now appears on MetaCPAN, but numerous modules within it are listed as "UNAUTHORIZED" when I look at https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/libapreq2-2.15. The previous release at https://metacpan.org/release/ISAAC/libapreq2-2.13 does not have this problem, so there is still a gremlin hiding somewhere in the system. If you think it would be easier to just do another release now, with the "file" attributes added, and all the indexing done in the usual way now that I have the correct permissions to start with then let me know; I don't want to be any trouble. (The problem is that I can't avoid being trouble to someone because these releases have to go through voting at d...@httpd.apache.org and apreq-...@httpd.apache.org before being uploaded. I was trying to avoid that just for the sake of an indexing problem on CPAN, but I'm happy to do it if this is causing you more headaches than voting for a new release would be for the folks at Apache!)

MetaCPAN is still showing unauthorized at the moment.

I've committed a change that I hope will fix the META.yml file when a release is next done: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1887336 And on the previously cited d...@httpd.apache.org list thread I've asked about the possibility of making a new release to resolve this matter. Hopefully this will occur sooner or later, so we shouldn't have to trouble you any more over this. Thanks again, Steve
