Publish modules as 'unlisted' #85

Closed alerickson closed 4 years ago

alerickson commented 4 years ago

Suggestion to have modules published to the gallery as 'unlisted' so that the module can be tested, then officially listed. This would be a good way to work around having a staging gallery.

Publish-module can take a parameter to publish -AsUnlisted

If the unlisted version fails testing there should be a way to remove or overwrite the version.

@ThomasNieto agreed, something I was thinking of as a separate issue, but also related to this is: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellGallery/issues/87

I feel like Prerelease already sort of accomplishes this goal, and you can 'delist' modules so they don't show up in PS gallery if they are broken or unnecessary for whatever reason.

I know the major reason modules can't be deleted is in case someone takes a dependency on one, so it doesn't just suddenly 'disappear', but they can already be unlisted in the API.

You could publish the module as prerelease and then delist it immediately as a workaround?

Looks like we are already tracking this request with issue #3 so going to close this one as a duplicate
