Hi James,
I’m one of the PAUSE admins. I’m working through tidying up permissions
conflicts that have been caused by the fact that PAUSE now consider package
names case insensitively (due to case-insensitive filesystems, as on Windows
and MacOS X). PAUSE doesn’t let these situations occur now, but we have some
historical cases. I’m sorting these out so that we don’t need code in the
toolchain for dealing with permissions conflicts.
Your Pixie distribution (last released in 2003) uses both a Pixie module and a
PIXIE package. These are different packages, but from a permissions point of
view PAUSE now considers them the same.
To resolve this conflict, you would need to rename the internal PIXIE package.
Another option: I notice that Pixie doesn’t work on any version of Perl
released in the last 11 years:
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Pixie
So if you’re not interested in maintaining this now, we could drop all your
permissions and delete the Pixie release from your CPAN author directory. I’m
happy to do that for you, if you’d like?
I’ve copied Steve Purkis (SPURKIS), as I notice that he has co-maint on these
names, and did 2 developer releases of Pixie in 2004.
Cheers,
Neil
