I'm currently working on adding support for CPAN to the Paludis
package manager by way of generating a repository of JSON files
containing the information Paludis needs. To do this, I am using
CPANDB::Generator and using the sqlite database it creates directly in
my script, but I am running afoul of the problem that only one version
of each dist is indexed. This is suboptimal from a packaging
perspective, as there are several usecases in which someone may want
to install an older version. (a regression, etc). The source of this
limitation appears to be CPAN::SQlite. Is there any chance of adding
support for multiple versions of a given distribution to CPAN::SQlite?
Is there anything I can do to help this happen?
