Hi Loïc,
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 two or more people are owners of namespaces
previously considered distinct, and now considered the same.
Your distribution ‘URIC’ (last released in 1998) contains a module ‘uri’:
https://metacpan.org/release/URIC
This now conflicts with the widely used ‘URI’ module:
https://metacpan.org/pod/URI
I noticed that your URIC distribution doesn’t successfully test on any recent
versions of Perl:
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=URIC
I think that the easiest way to resolve this conflict will be to delete the
URIC distribution from CPAN, and to drop your permissions on the “uri”
namespace. You could do those things yourself, but I’m happy to do them for
you, since I’m tidying up cases like these anyway.
PAUSE doesn’t let situations like this occur any more, so I’m tidying up the
existing cases.
Cheers,
Neil
