Hi Chitresh,
I’m one of the PAUSE admins. I’m emailing you because 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.
You have ownership of the “file” namespace, and have a “file” module in your
link_NCBI distribution:
https://metacpan.org/release/link_NCBI
This now conflicts with the “File” namespace, owned by ADAMK.
The link_NCBI zip file isn’t packaged as a proper CPAN distribution, and so
cannot be installed. As a result I’d like to propose that we resolve the
conflict by dropping your ownership of the “file” namespace. Furthermore, I’d
suggest that the link_NCBI.* files can be deleted from your CPAN author
directory as well.
I don’t think these actions will cause anyone any problems, but wanted to check
with you — are you happy for me to do these things?
PAUSE doesn’t let situations like this occur any more; I’m working on resolving
the existing cases.
Cheers,
Neil
