Why aren't new versions of module showing up in CPAN?
So I'm trying to install Pod::ProjectDocs
and it requires Syntax::Highlight::Universal
. P/PA/PALANT/Syntax-Highlight-Universal-0.4.tar.gz
from CPAN fails to build on my machine for some reason, but I downloaded M/MI/MISHOO/Syntax-Highlight-Universal-0.5.tar.gz
and it builds fine with a perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install.
Version 0.4 was added to cpan in 2005 and 0.5 in 2009.
So, question: Even though the newer version (by a different author?) has been in CPAN for a while, why is开发者_如何学编程n't it showing up when I search for it? It's not being mirrored by CPAN::Mini
either apparently because it's not in 02packages.details.txt
, but who decides what goes in there?

MISHOO probably uploaded 0.5 before becoming an authorized maintainer of Syntax::Highlight::Universal.
If that's the case, he just needs to use the Force Reindexing tool at PAUSE to get the index updated.
