Hi Philip, 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.
You have first-come permissions on File::ShareDir::Install (listed in the CPAN Index against E/ET/ETHER/File-ShareDir-Install-0.11.tar.gz). You also have first-come permissions on File::Sharedir::Install, which isn’t indexed. Karen (ETHER) has co-maint on both of these. I can see you renamed it back in 2009, so I propose that to fix the conflict I just drop the permissions on File::Sharedir::Install, which is no longer used. Are you happy for me to do this on your behalf? Thanks, Neil
