rvosa / bio-phylo-beagle Goto Github PK

Hi Rutger,

I’m emailing you wearing my PAUSE admin hat: I’m working on resolving conflicts caused by PAUSE now considering package names case insensitively. This has left us with some situations where two or more people are owners of namespaces previously considered distinct, and now considered the same.

You have ownership of the “beagle” namespace, as a result of your beagle module, which is part of your Bio-Phylo-Beagle distribution. This now clashes with the Beagle module, owned by SUNNAVY, and part of his Beagle distribution. This conflict means that people couldn’t install your distribution and Beagle at the same time on case-insensitive filesystems (eg Windows and Mac OS X).

The best solution would be for you to rename the “beagle” module to something inside the Bio::Phylo::Beagle:: namespace, so that everything in the Bio-Phylo-Beagle distribution would then have the expected name.

Would you be happy to make this change? Once you’ve released a new version, all old releases could then be deleted from your CPAN author directory, and I’d then drop your permissions on “beagle”.

PAUSE doesn’t let situations like this occur any more, so I’m working on resolving the existing cases.

Cheers,
Neil
