Permissions for BRIANDFOY on CPAN-Audit

2025-01-05 Thread brian d foy
When I view permissions on CPAN-Audit, I see VTI as the primary, and BRIANDFOY 
and BDFOY as co-maintainers. However, the indexer just complained about my 
latest upload as BRIANDFOY.

Blackhole the email to rkobes@cpan?

2024-12-13 Thread brian d foy
A long time ago some of us stepped up to take over Randy's PAUSE account after 
his passing. Right now rkobes uses my email address, which really isn't a big 
deal, but it's been awhile and I don't think anyone is trying to actually reach 
Randy. Maybe it's time to black hole his account.

Taking over the Cache::Memcached Perl module

2024-03-27 Thread brian d foy
Hey Brad,

Thanks for Memcached. Some people are still using it!

There's some love that we'd like to apply to the Cache::Memcached module, and 
you are still the primary maintainer in CPAN. I'm willing to take over primary 
maintainership, but co-maintainer would be fine too. Either way, that needs 
some action from you.

1. Easy way: you probably haven't interacted with PAUSE in forever, and don't 
want to go through all that. If you email modules@perl.org (CC-ed) and tell 
them that you'd like to transfer permissions to BRIANDFOY, the admins can take 
care of it for you. 

2. Harder way: log in to pause.perl.org, then go to 
https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=move_dist_primary . From there, 
transfer Cache::Memcached to BRIANDFOY

Thanks for everything you've done, and I hope to keep some of it alive.

Re: Taking over CPAN::Audit

2022-03-18 Thread brian d foy
If Renée wants to handle the CPAN::Audit module, I'm happy to do the
data collection side it depends on. My first goal is a simple update
with the code that already exists, and a way to make quick releases
with new data. I don't care who makes the actual releases though.

Neil (and modules@) - I'd appreciate being a co-maintainer too, but
there's enough work to go around.

Renée - if you like what I did with the fork in my CPAN account, we
can use that and I'll make you a collaborator. If you want to fork the
original yourself and do it differently, that's fine too.


Taking over CPAN::Audit

Hey Viacheslav,

I'm interested in updating CPAN::Audit. I saw that the module and
database repos are read-only. If you are open to that, you can
transfer first come to me or respond to let the pause maintainers know
that you agree to that.

Thanks for the useful tool that some people want to keep using!

Permissions for Business::ISSN

2018-05-09 Thread brian d foy
I thought I had some sort of permissions for Business::ISSN (since
about 2008). The indexer says I don't have permissions for this module
now. Perhaps one of the admins knows what happened or how to fix it.

The recent versions came from me but apparently they are no longer
available through the CPAN client. I only noticed because some users
complained.

I couldn't View Permissions for "Exact match" or "SQL LIKE" since
those pages return the menu summary again.

I didn't see anything in the archives about this module either.

Thanks,

Fwd: Accidental update to Tie::Cycle

2017-03-21 Thread brian d foy
This is very curious. I don't recall ever making someone a co-maintainer.

-- Forwarded message --
From: Panayotopoulos, Alex 
Date: Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 7:45 AM
Subject: Accidental update to Tie::Cycle
To: "bd...@cpan.org" 
Cc: "i...@theperlreview.com" 


Hi brian,



Whilst working through the book *Intermediate Perl*, chapter 21 exercises,
I added the file Tie/Cycle.pm to my module Acme::AXP::Utils as directed,
expecting my submission to be rejected. Instead, not only was the upload
accepted, but I was made co-maintainer of the Tie::Cycle module, and my
version was indexed on CPAN as the canonical version. Whoops!



I’ve since deregistered as co-maintainer, and deleted this version (0.04)
of my package from PAUSE, but I don’t know whether this will result in it
being taken off CPAN as well. In any case, it’s not due to be deleted until
this Friday.



Luckily, I did not change any functionality in my upload, so all that’s
happened is that it’s being distributed under the incorrect module.



I just thought I’d let you know of the issue, and warn you that this is
likely to happen again with future readers!



Thanks,

The PAUSE GitHub repo has an issues list.

As far as I know the modulelist was deprecated. However, as long as

Typically App::* is for complete apps. Maybe you can use CELL as a

Although you're using it on large files, it seems that this module is
really about buffered reads. Maybe people would want to use it for
files other than large files. As Johan noted, though, Perl is already
supposed to do this for you.

What about File::ReadBuffer or something like that, to describe what
it's doing instead of a particular use case?

Who wants to own ExtUtils::Manifest?

I was cleaning up some stuff in Randy Kobes account today and noticed
he was the modulelist owner of the module (although it's now ADOPTME). 

The module is being actively maintained, so that's not a problem, but

It's intuitive to Perl but not to library science or databases where

I ran into this problem last month where I wanted to set a dependency
on Mojo::UserAgent, but the version is always undef. So, I have to
create a dependency on a module (Mojolicious) that I didn't actually
use. People will say that this shouldn't be a problem, but we thought
that about LWP too before it broke out several namespaces.

As far as PAUSE is concerned, the behaviour makes sense to me and is
only not confusing if you don't think about how Perl treats undef.

Is there a reason you don't want to give the module a version? I know
that doesn't help with the PAUSE stuff.

For the reindexing, you can try deleting the old distros then trying to
force a reindex.

I recommend that you take the name in the form that Fitbit uses. If
that's the old namespance, bump the version to the next major version.
You might go as far as putting in a a warning on installation. However,
if the interface is the same (or supported) despite the implementation
it might not be a problem.

I think you and John can work that out to transfer names and
permissions, but if you need help let us know.

To get rid of anything, you can delete the distros from CPAN (they'll
be on BackPAN still) and if the namespace is registrered, you can go to
the metadata page and set its lifecycle to "Can be deleted".

It sounds like you're creating a framework, and those sorts of systems
typically do better with a fanciful rather than descriptive name.

The typical way to do this is to set up a :default tag so the user can
choose. I'd stop using a module that didn't let me choose.

I would avoid the word "default" since here it doesn't mean the choice
applied in the absence of input.

How about a name like Export::Always? You have a very particular use
case, so it should have a more particular name. :)

I didn't immediately think of Markdown with MD in this context, but

If you still settle on the name you have now, that's fine.

I saw this and replied and I thought. You can send a new registration

I thought about all this before I approved it, but that topic area is
full on what we would consider similar poor names. However, in those
areas those are the names that people using that stuff also expect
since they see those names in the original implementations. It's not
the best thing but the balanced tipped that way.

How about Cohort::Explorer? However, I think something like
EntityAttributeValue::Explorer might give the name more context. :)

What did you do? When I look at the View Permissions for Devel::ptkdb,
you're listed as a comaintainer:

I'd rather see Microsoft::Azure::StorageClient. I think that top level
gives a bit more information about what the module does.

The name sounds fine, although I might make it plural:

   Bundle::Padre::Plugins

However, you can do the same thing with a Task:: module which lists the
modules as dependencies instead of using a bundle.

   Task::Padre::Plugins

Good luck!

I've made the change.

You can go to the Module Metadata page and find the "CPAN User-ID" at
the bottom. Change that and the primary owner changes to the new name.
That's also the top section of modules in the "Change Permissions"

Instead of putting this under XML, I'd create a top-level namespace for
GoogleSearchAppliance (or Google::SearchAppliance). The most important
part of the name is the Google service.

The user doesn't have to necessarily know the data format‹just that

Hey Eric,

The PAUSE indexer didn't find a $VERSION in that file, so it shows up
as undef. A previous distribution, 3674, did declare a version:

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KAMELKEV/CSS-Inliner-3674/lib/CSS/Inliner.

It looks like you removed that in the next version:

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KAMELKEV/CSS-Inliner-3901/lib/CSS/Inliner.
pm

PAUSE does not index files where the value of $VERSION is less than the
previously indexed version. That's why you got the warning.

You re-added a $VERSION in the latest version (3913):

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KAMELKEV/CSS-Inliner-3913/lib/CSS/Inliner.

It sounds like MetaCPAN did it right and CPAN Search did something

We generally try to steer these toward WWW:: or WebService::, and
discourage "API", which is implied by it being a module :)

We discuss these in the naming guidelines:

You should note that in the notice next time. It certainly sounded like
he hadn't responded. Note that someone might run across the message in
isolation, not know the history, and think that we do things by fiat.
And, since most PAUSE admins aren't closely tracking anything, it's
good to remind everyone what has already happened. :)

I'd take more caution with this. So far we've been able to keep the
reputation that we're not in a rush to take over people's modules and
that we do so methodically, deliberately, and respectfully.

Although two weeks seems like forever in internet time, we don't know
what's happening on Adam's side and he has been a responsive although

I like Perl::Rewrite just fine, but I also thought of:

Perl::Mutate
Perl::Transform
Perl::Transmorgify

I look forward to seeing this module :)

How about the Linux::* top-level namespace?

The name says "Crawl" but the description says "parsing".

I had ADOPTME give up primary maintainership without transferring it. 

However, in general I don't think we should ever have to do this for
ADOPTME me. When people take over a module, they should drop
co-maintainer permissions for ADOPTME or the PAUSE admin should give up
ADOPTME maintainership when transferring primary maintainership.

This seems to me like an odd use of the word "strict". Is there another

We encourage people to put these sorts of modules in WWW:: or
