Bug Information
Severity: Normal
Broken in:
  • 0.18
  • 0.19
Fixed in: (no value)



Subject: CPAN can't make up its mind
If I install POE 0.19, CPAN.pm thinks POE::Wheel::Curses is newer in POE 0.18, and I should upgrade if I install POE 0.18, CPAN.pm thinks POE 0.19 is newer than POE 0.18, and I should upgrade. This I am stuck in an endless loop, unable to have the satisfaction of the 'r' command in CPAN shell reporting I have no upgrades to perform.

CPAN.pm expects revisions to be sanely sortable. Unfortunately CVS revisions don't: < $VERSION = (qw($Revision: 1.8 $ ))[1]; --- Show quoted text
> $VERSION = (qw($Revision: 1.10 $ ))[1];
I will stop the practice of leaving the previous revision of POE on CPAN. Version 0.18 has been scheduled for removal, and the problem should clear up within the next day or so. POE-0.18.readme Scheduled for deletion (due at Sat, 25 May 2002 15:13:58 GMT) POE-0.18.tar.gz Scheduled for deletion (due at Sat, 25 May 2002 15:13:58 GMT) Thanks for letting me know. I usually don't install POE via CPAN, so these sorts of things totally escape me. -- Rocco Caputo / troc@pobox.com / poe.perl.org / poe.sf.net
