Re: Failed: PAUSE indexer report RRWO/Set-Light-0.95.tar.gz

[Robert Rothenberg]

Hello,

I used to have co-maint permissions for Set-Light. They seem to have 
gone away.


Any idea what's happened?

Regards,

Robert

This distribution name will only be indexed when uploaded by users with
permission for the package Set::Light. Either someone else has ownership
over that package name, or this is a brand new distribution and that
package name was neither listed in the 'provides' field in the META file
nor found inside the distribution's modules. Therefore, no modules will
be indexed.

Further details on the indexing attempt follow.


The following packages (grouped by status) have been found in the 
distro:

I’m not sure if this was caused by the recent issue with PAUSE, or something 
else, but I’ve just transferred first-come from ADOPTME to JGAMBLE, and have 
confirmed that the permissions have moved.

When I log in to PAUSE, it still shows it as owned by ADOPTME.

Hi John,

TL;DR: I’ve transferred the first-come permissions on 
Algorithm-SkipList to you.


I’m one of the PAUSE admins.

I was surprised to see Algorithm-SkipList marked as owned by
ADOPTME in

PAUSE, which is not the case in MetaCPAN, where it is owned by Robert

Rothenburg (although it is marked for adoption, see

).


As Dan Book pointed out, when you search for a module on CPAN, by 
default you’re shown the release that’s in the CPAN Index. Usually 
that’s the most recent release, but it might not be (for example 
developer releases don’t go in the index, and if the uploader didn’t 
have any indexing permission(s), then it would also not be indexed). 
And the person listed against it is the person who uploaded it.


What is the process for adoption, assuming that RRWO is amenable?


Given it’s marked as ADOPTME, the process is that you ask the PAUSE 
admins, and it’s polite to ask for the blessing of the previous owner 
(and Robert has given that). If the distribution is depended on by a 
lot of other CPAN modules, then we’ll consider whether you’re the 
right person to take it on, or at least that you’re aware that 
releasing a broken version could result in a cascade of failures. If 
you hover over the bars next to the distribution name, you’ll see that 
two distributions depend on this, which isn’t concerning.


So I’ve transferred first-come from ADOPTME to you, for all the 
modules in the distribution. Thanks for taking this on.


Final point: when you submit requests like these, please include your 
PAUSE id. I hope JGAMBLE was the right John Gamble? ;-)


Cheers,
Neil
