BCBI_v0.0.1-dev #18

Open mirestrepo opened 6 years ago

This issue is to keep track of packages/improvements we may want on next dev release:

DilumAluthge commented 6 years ago

For checking out tagged versions of unregistered packages, I don't think we can use Pkg.checkout. You get an error trying to checkout a tag because no Git tracking information is available.

What we can do is directly go in with git and do a git checkout of the desired tag in the package directory. The problem with that approach is that it does add a Git dependency to BCBI_base.

What do you think?

Let's investigate why base Julia is doing. Since they specifically checkout the tag registered in the metadata

So it’s changed in Pkg3. In Pkg3 they don’t even clone the repo. They just download the tree corresponding to the desired version.

I’m not sure how Pkg2 does it.
