Re: Module::AutoLoad issues

I agree with what Joe said. The documentation feels dishonest too, implying if not stating outright that code is “downloaded from CPAN” which makes it sound like it’s just a clever “just in time installer”. Ask

CPAN - ownership of the Getopt-Long-Descriptive distribution

Hi Dieter, Are you also happy for me to give Rik all first-come permissions on Getopt-Long-Descriptive? This is another dist where you two have split ownership, but Rik has done all releases for the last 10 years. Cheers, Neil

Re: Module::AutoLoad issues

A followup: Adding a requirement that the environment variable I_AM_USING_A_DANGEROUS_MODULE_AND_I_AM_WILLING_TO_RISK_MY_COMPANY_AND_JOB_ON_IT must be set to a true value would be another acceptable safety solution if you insist this module can't be moved. On Wed, Jul 29, 2020 at 1:01 PM Joe McMah

Marcel replied back just to me, saying that he’s happy for Evan to take full ownership, so I’ve just made that change. Cheers, Neil

CPAN - making the first-come permissions on CPU-Z80-Assembler consistent

Hi David, I’m mailing you wearing my PAUSE admin hat. I’m sorting out distributions that have fractured ownership, as PAUSE tries to not let this happen now[1]. In 2008 you released CPU::Z80::Assembler to CPAN, and got the first-come indexing permission. Since then PCUST has been regularly doin

CPAN - indexing permissions on the Test-Compile distribution

Hi Marcel, I’m one of the PAUSE admins, and I’m working on resolving situations where two or more people own parts of a distribution. PAUSE tries hard now to make sure this doesn’t happen, but there are some historical cases that we’re tidying up. You originally released Test::Compile, but sinc

CPAN - resolving clashes in the CPAN index

Hi Sherzod, I’m one of the PAUSE admins, and I’m working through some historical anomalies in PAUSE. Recent changes to PAUSE stop these happening, so I’m trying to tidy up the existing cases. For example, in your Class-PObject distribution you renamed the DB_File class to db_file, and which PA

Re: Module::AutoLoad issues

Andreas, I hope you don't think I'm out of line here, but I'm putting on my security hat from when I was working with WhiteHat and making a comment about the overall design of the module and specifically about the test suite. Rob, I'm sure that functionally speaking this module is well-meant, but

CPAN - fractured ownership of DhMakePerl distribution

Hi, I’m one of the PAUSE admins, and I’m sorting out distributions that have fractured ownership, as PAUSE tries to not let this happen now[1]. DAM did the first release of DhMakePerl, and has the first-come permission on most packages. JEREMIAH has done all releases from 2010 through 2017, an

CPAN - rationalising ownership of distributions (Perl Power Tools)

Hi brian, Casey, and Sean, I’m one of the PAUSE admins, and I’m sorting out situations where CPAN distributions have split ownership, as it can result in parts of releases not getting indexed, and then when transferring permissions modules get missed. One such dist is "ppt", which has three pac

CPAN — problems with the manish-db distribution

Hi Manish, I’m one of the PAUSE admins, and I’m looking at distributions that have strange patterns of permissions. Your manish-db distribution contains a lot of modules that belong to other people, which is why they’re listed as unauthorized on MetaCPAN:     https://metacpan.org/release/manish

CPAN - rationalising indexing permissions on the B-Utils distribution

Hi all, I’m one of the PAUSE admins, and I’m working through distributions that have split ownership, typically caused because releasers with co-maint added new packages, and in the past PAUSE would give them first-come on the new package. PAUSE now tries to ensure consistent permissions, so I’
