Subject: LaTeX::Table dist file LaTeX-Table-v1.0.6.tar.gz doesn't work with g-cpan
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2011 22:33:41 -0700 (PDT)
To: bug-latex-table [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Jeff Kowalczyk <jtk [...] yahoo.com>
Thank you for providing LaTeX::Table, it's incredibly useful and well-documented. I am trying to install on Gentoo Linux (~amd64) and the dist file name spelling (the "v" in) LaTeX-Table-v1.0.6.tar.gz is causing Gentoo's g-cpan tool to fail, looking for LaTeX-Table-1.0.6.tar.gz (no "v"). I don't know enough about CPAN conventions to say whether the "v" is unusual, but it does cause g-cpan some difficulty. Would you consider uploading a renamed "LaTeX-Table-1.0.6.tar.gz", and internal directory name of "LaTeX-Table-1.0.6/" I'll gladly test with g-cpan when you have changes. Thank you.

Hi Jeff, I consider this a bug in g-cpan. Nevertheless, I switched to the old-style version numbering as I don't see much benefit for this little module. Next release will be 1.1, which might take a while though. I'm waiting for a new release of LaTeX::Encode and will introduce a better support for this. Thanks for the report, Markus On Sat Apr 09 01:33:49 2011, jtk@yahoo.com wrote: Show quoted text
