Unable to register: Version v0.1.0 already exists

Open cadojo opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

I have recently created two packages: HorizonsAPI, and HorizonsEphemeris. The HorizonsEphemeris package depends on HorizonsAPI. HorizonsAPI is in the queue for its first release in the General registry.

I tried to register HorizonsEphemeris today for the first time. Of course, this was rejected, since HorizonsAPI is still in the waiting period. To get HorizonsEphemeris in the queue, I removed its dependency on HorizonsAPI. I hoped to release this first version to claim the name, and release a minor patch which re-introduces the dependency on HorizonsAPI. When I tried to register HorizonsEphemeris for the second time, I got an error stating "v0.1.0 already exists".

It seems that I got the @JuliaRegistrator in a bad state by trying to register a package which has a private dependency. Somehow, the registrator bot now recognizes HorizonsEphemeris as registered, despite the name not existing in the General registry.

This is not a big issue for me — I can just release my first HorizonsEphemeris version as v0.1.1 after HorizonsAPI is merged into the General registry. I wanted to make known this bad state I somehow got the registrator bot in.
