Unpublish a duplicate dat

[CristianCantoro]

I have done a dat publish two times on the same dat with different titles and I have got this:

• https://datbase.org/CristianCantoro/wikipedia-pagecounts-ez
• https://datbase.org/CristianCantoro/pagecounts-ez

I would like to eliminate one of them.

(Not tested but...) can you run dat unpublish --name pagecounts-ez ?

[joehand]

Oh nope, that won't work. If you cd data-dir and then dat unpublish it will unpublish whatever name is in the dat.json file. So you can set it to the one you want to unpublish then run it. If that makes sense... ?

Sorry, this should be more straightforward!

Ok, I will try doing that, but I would like to point out that at the moment dat unpublish is undocumented.

This is what I get with dat 13.11.4:

I have issues with dat unpublish (it's throwing errors at me), I will investigate and open a separate bug report if needed.

At the moment I am not able to run dat unpublish (see the bug referenced above)
