Hi,

I don't have a PAUSE account but I do maintain a number of packaged
modules in a downstream Linux distribution.

In the www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/ hierarchy, distribution files
could normally be found in two places:

1. In a <namespace>/<author> directory, e.g.
https://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Crypt/LEONT/Crypt-SysRandom-XS-0.009.tar.gz

2. Directly under the <namespace> directory, e.g.
https://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Crypt/Crypt-SysRandom-XS-0.009.tar.gz

Since around late October last year, new uploads only seem to appear in
the first of these places and not the second, e.g. releases 0.010 and
0.011 of Crypt-SysRandom-XS.

Is this intentional, or an oversight?

I ask because the 2nd location is useful as a source URL for packaging
dists that have multiple different authors doing releases; only the
version number changes on the file, rather than the path *and* the
version number for the first location.

Apologies if this is not the correct place for this sort of query.

Regards, Paul.
