When installing Pod::To::HTML, Raku::Pod::Render ver<3.5.2> tries to install

[sdondley]

On a fresh machine, fresh install of rakudo with rakubrew, I'm running into a weird problem.

When trying to install the Pod::To::HTML module, it attempts to install the Raku::Pod::Render module:

zef install Pod::To::HTML

To get Pod::To::HTML to install properly, I have to specify the author: zef install Pod::To::HTML:auth<github:Raku>

The Raku::Pod::Render module used to be called Pod::To::HTML and it was changed to avoid the conflict early last year: finanalyst/raku-pod-render#9

Not sure how, but the naming conflict still seems to be causing problems.

This should now be solved. The problem originates due to the move towards the fez ecosystem. I have migrated Raku::Pod::Render to fez, and now a generic zef (what you get with a new install) will pick up Raku::Pod::Render:ver<3.7.6> in which the module is renamed as Pod::To::HTML2

Hmm, still seems to be an issue:

Hmm, still seems to be an issue:
zef install Pod::To::HTML

in which the module is renamed as Pod::To::HTML2

Just to be sure we are on the same page, the Pod::To::HTML module that was renamed to Pod::To::HTML2 was the one packaged inside Raku::Pod::Render found here: https://github.com/finanalyst/raku-pod-render/tree/master/lib/Pod/To
