min-devkit conflict warning in package manager

[byulparan]

currently I used min-devkit from github. package manager say "conflict found. use package manager version".
but also package say "The package manager version of min-devkit is deprecated. please use the Github repository for future updates"

How to resolve it? I want remove conflict warning in package manager.

Hi @byulparan ,

I believe this error comes from a version mismatch between the current version number in the package manager versus the one in your locally installed package.

One question first: I notice that your screenshot shows the local version is 1.0.0. Do you have a local package-info.json in your local copy of the min-devkit or is there just the package-info.json.in template file?

Background: The *.in file gets used to generate a package-info.json through some CMake scripting, so you might not have a package-info.json unless you've already compiled some code. I'm wondering whether the 1.0.0 I see in the screenshot is just the default value.

Hi! Thanks for reply!

This is my package-info.json.in

    "author" : "Cycling '74",
    "description" : "Lightweight reference implementation of a package built using the Min-API.",
    "homepatcher" : "C++ Object Development Kit.maxpat",
    "max_version_min" : "8.0", "max_version_max" : "none",
    "name" : "@C74_PACKAGE_NAME@",
    "os" : {
        "macintosh" : {
            "platform" : [ "x64", "aarch64" ],
            "min_version" : "none"
        },
        "windows" : {
            "platform" : [ "x64" ],
            "min_version" : "none"
        }
    },
    "package_extra" : {

    "version" : "@GIT_VERSION_MAJ@.@GIT_VERSION_MIN@.@GIT_VERSION_SUB@",
    "website" : "http://www.github.com/Cycling74/min-devkit"
}

and package-info.json

Thanks for the info!

After coming back to this, I realize that the general solution to this problem is to simply rename your local copy of the min-devkit.

It does seem contradictory for someone to clone the min-devkit in the Max Packages directory and then see this particular error in the Package Manager, so we can make a note of the request on the Package Manager side. However, I believe the solution of renaming your local copy is your best bet for resolving the current issue right away.

I hope that helps!

I changed name

1. directory name in max packages directory
2. name value in package-info.json

Yeah~ I solved problem :-) Thankyou.
