Re: Re-uploading the previous non-trial version of a distribution to CPAN

The "Reset Version" on PAUSE doesn't work as I had hoped. Although it resets the latest version indexed just fine, it won't allow an upload of the same distribution file name again. Deleting on the PAUSE takes ~4 days, so deleting the original file first is out of the question.

I just bumped the version number and uploaded. At least I tried to find a way to keep things clean.

According to the PAUSE upload page, deleting a file from PAUSE also blacklists its name, permanently, for security reasons. You could still delete the file to "withdraw" the broken release, but you probably will not be able to upload a replacement for the "same" version.	[reply]
