Re: Split ownership of xmltv

Yes, I assigned primary maintainership of XMLTV to TOBYINK this morning.
I forgot that Uninstall was part of the XMLTV distribution.
Let me assign that too.

Fair point.

OK so Example:: it is then?  People can still use Whatever::Example if
they are making real modules which have to do with examples in some
way.

(Oops I just made up another pseudo-namespace Whatever, but I don't
think we should reserve that too :-))

Although clearly I was wasting my time in replying, since _brian_d_foy
is a reserved name and not to be assigned to any real [EMAIL PROTECTED]
subscribers :-P.

Those look too real.  It's plausible that real modules might be
created with those names (after all we have Acme).  I thought
something uglier such as a leading underscore would be better.  But
I'll use one of the above namespaces if others on this list agree with
you.

Namespace for nonexistent modules

[Ed Avis]

I'm writing a program (pmq) which tests the modules installed on the
system.  I would like to make a test suite for this program containing
a few dummy modules.  It's important that the names chosen for the
dummy modules do not interfere with those already installed on the
system.

Is there a namespace for pretend modules, modules which do not exist
and should not be installed?  I was thinking of using names beginning
with an underscore, it's fairly certain that [EMAIL PROTECTED] will not
allocate such a namespace to any real modules.

Module version in modules/by-module/ not updated

[Ed Avis]

I was granted ownership of the name Log::TraceMessages and uploaded
version 1.0 of that module a long time ago.  Then last year I uploaded
version 1.1.  It has appeared in my user directory (EDAVIS) but not in
modules/by-module/Log/, which still shows 1.0.

Do I need to contact this list to request updating the by-module
directories to point to the latest version - or is there some other
step I'm missing?
