You can't fix this yourself if you've already created a release from the tag. Try http://drupal.org/project/webmasters for help. On Jan 23, 2009, at 3:41 PM, Sheryl (Permutations Software) wrote:
If I have asked about this in the wrong place, could you tell me where I should report the problem? It mentioned in the CVS tutorials that there's a CVS webmaster who can fix problems, but I don't know how to contact that person.
Thanks.

I made an error when I created the branch for the 6.x version of the phpFreeChat module, and I need advice on how to fix it.
FYI... I'm using TortoiseCVS. I can log in on the command line if absolutely necessary, but I will need "type this" style instructions because I'm a CVS novice - which is why I made the mistake in the first place.
Here's the problem...
I created a branch called DRUPAL-6--1. And then (here's the mistake) before committing the new files I created a tag called DRUPAL-6--1-0. I then committed the new files to the branch and went to the project page to release the new version. I had a choice between the new branch or the new tag, which confused me. I chose the tag (wrong). This resulted in the 5.x-1.3 files (latest version of DRUPAL-5 branch) being placed in the DRUPAL-6--1-0 download.
Someone reported the problem and I realized my mistake. So I created a new tag called DRUPAL-6--1.1 and released this. That worked, since this time the tag was created AFTER uploading the new files to the DRUPAL-6--1 branch. On the Drupal site, all appears well. 6.x-1.1 is shown as the current recommended release and it has the correct files.
BUT... if you install the module, go to the Drupal admin panel, and select Reports-Updates, it says that phpfreechat 6.x-1.0 is the recommended version, with the warning that "no available releases are found". I don't have the faintest idea why it says that or how to fix it.
Please advice.
