Re: After uploading to PAUSE

I have uploaded the tar ball of "Math::Amoeba" to the PAUSE server, but

May I ask whether there is follow-up to do after uploading? Or it will
just wait a few minutes to appear in CPAN?


How did you do the upload? If you did it from the web page, you should be OK - wait a few minutes (to a few hours). If you uploaded the file separately, you need to go to the web page and tell PAUSE what it is that you've uploaded.

You should get two or three confirmatory messages from PAUSE - if you don't, you've not done something right.

Digging in my email archive, here's a prototype of the three PAUSE emails to me for the previous edition of DBD::Informix (mid-March 2005).
The email subject lines separate the messages.


Subject: Notification from PAUSE

JOHNL (Jonathan Leffler) visited the PAUSE and requested an upload into
his/her directory. The request used the following parameters:

 pause99_add_uri_httpupload        [DBD-Informix-2005.01.tar.gz]
 SUBMIT_pause99_add_uri_httpupload [ Upload this file from my disk ]

The request is now entered into the database where the PAUSE daemon will
pick it up as soon as possible (usually 1-2 minutes).

During upload you can watch the logfile in
https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=tail_logfile&pause99_tail_logfile_1=5000.

You'll be notified as soon as the upload has succeeded, and if the
uploaded package contains modules, you'll get another notification from
the indexer a little later (usually within 1 hour).


Thanks for your contribution, -- The PAUSE
