Subject:

Not indexed by PAUSE due to name case change

The renamed Data::Unixish::ANSI module is not indexed, because a version with a different case exists. From discussion on #toolchain: 12:53 <@ilmari> how case sensitive are module/dist names for indexing purposes[?] 12:54 <@ilmari> Data::Unixish::ansi was renamed Data::Unixish::ANSI, and the latter hasn't been indexed, 12:54 <@rjbs> It should've been refused indexing, and the email should've said so. 12:54 <@ilmari> breaking Text::ANSITable, which now depends on the latter 12:55 <@rjbs> You can't freely change case on something indexed. […] 12:55 <@rjbs> You have to delete the old casing and upload the new after it's gone from the index. Just changing the case can also break upgrading on case-insensitive filesystems such as MacOS X and Windows.

Data::Unixish::ansi distribution has been removed on CPAN a couple of days ago. I've also just force reindexing on Data::Unixish::ANSI. Let's hope those two things will do it. Additionally, I played around with PAUSE permissions and finally gave up maintainership *and* co-maintainership for Data::Unixish::ansi::*, let's hope that doesn't have any nasty effect :-p Regards, Steven On Tue May 06 08:15:38 2014, ilmari wrote: Show quoted text
