Hi,
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 people are owners of namespaces previously
considered distinct, and now considered the same.
You all had permissions on Aspect::PointCut, which is now no longer used
(Aspect::Pointcut being the name in use). To remove the conflict I dropped
these permissions. You also had permissions on
Aspect::PointCut::{AndOp,BinOp,NotOp,OrOp} and
Aspect::Pointcut::{AndOp,BinOp,NotOp,OrOp}. Reading through the Changes file, I
could see that these modules were dropped some years back, and are no longer
indexed. So I’ve dropped the conflicting permissions on these pairs of modules.
You still retain all the permissions you had for the modules that are still
indexed on CPAN — I’ve just dropped permissions on old namespaces that are no
longer used.
PAUSE doesn’t let these sort of conflicts arise now, so I’m working through the
cases that remain, to make life easier for tool writers. In most cases I’m
checking first, but these changes seemed obvious and safe, given the history of
the Aspect dist. But please shout if you see any problems with this.
Cheers,
Neil
