Re: How to do co-maintenance on CPAN distro which uses Dist::Zilla (Travis and other questions)

Agreed. We have a similar setup with the various BioPerl distributions now; the release is tied to the PAUSE credentials of the co-maintainer. chris From: Dan Book Date: Thursday, January 23, 2020 at 2:53 PM To: James E Keenan Cc: "" Subject: Re: How to do co-maintenance on CPAN distro

Bio-Graphics issues

I have co-maint on the Bio-Graphics distribution with Lincoln Stein (LDS). I just tried releasing a simple point update to Bio-Graphics for dependency issues, but the distribution has several modules that appear to be unauthorized (even though I am listed as a co-maintainer of those). Any

Add users to BIOPERLML mailing list?

The Bioperl devs have been using BIOPERLML as an ‘umbrella’ group ID for making releases. We would like to add a few new devs to this for making future releases if possible; is there an easy way to go about this? Or even better, are there other mechanisms where we can do this on our own (e.g.

Re: PAUSE indexer failed for Geo-Coder-Many-0.46.tar.gz - 0 undef?!

We ran into a similar issue, though it was our (bioperl) fault. We had a version assigned through some hackery involving a common root module that worked over the years, but recent Module::Build and CPAN updates seemingly broke it, so now everything is undef (not present in META.yml at least).

Pretty much came about this independently for bioperl, but maybe it's a bit like convergent evolution :) bioperl uses the 1.x.y versioning and it has been a real pain to deal will over the years. We've discussed this over the years, and since we're breaking bioperl up into smaller releases
