Suppose I wanted to download a tarball of 5.27.1, the monthly
development release from June of this year. I could say​:

#####

Now suppose I wanted to download a tarball of 5.27.0 -- the development
release immediately following the release of 5.26.0. I try the
equivalent command, but it fails​:

#####
$ wget ftp​://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/src/5.0/perl-5.27.0.tar.xz

I've observed this for several different release tarballs. For example​:

#####
$ wget ftp​://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/src/5.0/perl-5.27.0-RC1.tar.xz
--2017-12-02 10​:29​:43--

==> PASV ... done. ==> RETR perl-5.27.0-RC1.tar.xz ...
No such file ‘perl-5.27.0-RC1.tar.xz’.

#####

When I go to ftp​://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/src/5.0 in a browser, I get no
indication that these tarballs are unavailable. They are listed just
like tarballs which are available.

When I go into FTP and log in on one of our FTP sites and navigate to
the appropriate 'src/5.0/' directory, I see that the tarballs are not
actually files but symlinks to files underneath the directories of the
respective release managers.

#####
lrwxrwxrwx 1 451 451 48 Dec 02 09​:20
perl-5.27.1.tar.gz -> ../../authors/id/E/EH/EHERMAN/perl-5.27.1.tar.gz
#####

And when I navigate to that directory, I find the 5.27.1 tarball in
question.

#####
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 14896863 Jun 19 23​:39

-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 12048664 Jun 19 23​:38

#####

But when I navigate to the author directory for one of the "missing"
tarballs, I don't find the targets of the symlinks. They appear to have
been deleted.

perl-5.26.0.tar.xz
#####

No 5.26.0-RC1, 5.26.0-RC2, 5.27.0.

1. sawyer, is there any way we can restore these tarballs? (I am
writing a program to detect BBCs from one monthly release to the next
and need to establish a baseline.)

2. I suspect that the symlinks from the src/5.0 directory to the author
directory are inherently fragile. Whenever the author heeds our
requests to "clean up your PAUSE directory" there is a risk that older
tarballs (particularly dev or RC) will be removed, rendering the
symlinks dangling and the tarballs unavailable.

How can we fix this?

Thank you very much.

See attachment for list of unavailable tarballs.

While I could see not permanently retaining RC releases, I think we should retain monthly dev releases. Can they be re-inserted from the backcpan?

Thank you very much.

Now suppose I wanted to download a tarball of 5.27.0 -- the development
release immediately following the release of 5.26.0. I try the
equivalent command, but it fails​:

I've observed this for several different release tarballs. For example​:

When I go to ftp​://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/src/5.0 in a browser, I get no
indication that these tarballs are unavailable. They are listed just
like tarballs which are available.

When I go into FTP and log in on one of our FTP sites and navigate to
the appropriate 'src/5.0/' directory, I see that the tarballs are not
actually files but symlinks to files underneath the directories of the
respective release managers.

#####

And when I navigate to that directory, I find the 5.27.1 tarball in
question.

But when I navigate to the author directory for one of the "missing"
tarballs, I don't find the targets of the symlinks. They appear to have
been deleted.

No 5.26.0-RC1, 5.26.0-RC2, 5.27.0.

1. sawyer, is there any way we can restore these tarballs? (I am
writing a program to detect BBCs from one monthly release to the next
and need to establish a baseline.)

2. I suspect that the symlinks from the src/5.0 directory to the author
directory are inherently fragile. Whenever the author heeds our
requests to "clean up your PAUSE directory" there is a risk that older
tarballs (particularly dev or RC) will be removed, rendering the
symlinks dangling and the tarballs unavailable.

How can we fix this?

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan

See attachment for list of unavailable tarballs.

While I could see not permanently retaining RC releases, I think we should retain monthly dev releases. Can they be re-inserted from the backcpan?

Thank you very much.

If you really need the old ones, why not just get them from backpan in the rare chance you need them?

I know CPAN is not free unlimited storage,
