| Subject: | a race condition/last mod times from Mercurial/Bitbucket |
I've never heard of Mercurial until now, I'm from Git world. When I downloaded from bitbucket the snapshot https://bitbucket.org/jpeacock/version/get/8f1352c79510.zip I get stuck into race condition, since Makefile.PL's last mod time is about 3-4 hours away into the future inside the .zip (1-5-2014 4:31 AM) and therefore on my disk when extracted. According to the log Makefile.PL was last changed in https://bitbucket.org/jpeacock/version/commits/c2cc74f7ebf49c57504f914ede77c3d873e6d70c/raw/ at "# Date 1388893050 18000" which bitbucket is saying is "2 hours ago". I have no idea if the problem is in your client, in bitbucket, or my zip tools (I tried WinRAR, 7zip, and MS Explorer Shell zip tool, all give the same time). I know the solution on my end is to "touch" Makefile.PL, but other less human things will find this to be a problem.

FWIW, (I can't figure out if the same race condition can happen with your CPAN releases if a CPAN smoker tries them within seconds of being uped to PAUSE), looking at your CPAN tarball,
PAUSE tail log says
2014-01-04 20:44:40 $$7776 v1049: Info: renamed '/home/ftp/tmp/J/JP/JPEACOCK/version-0.9906.tar.gz' to '/home/ftp/pub/PAUSE/authors/id/J/JP/JPEACOCK/version-0.9906.tar.gz' (paused:789)
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JP/JPEACOCK/ says
[ ] version-0.9906.tar.gz 04-Jan-2014 12:44 111K
inside the tarball with WinRAR decompression tool says for Makefile.PL last mod 1-4-2014 9:45 AM. Changes is last mod 1-4-2014 3:34PM. I'm not sure how to analyze these 3 different times, (which are UTC and which are local time to someone's machine).
