Open Ayanrajpoot10 opened 2 days ago

Ayanrajpoot10 commented 2 days ago

Please remove the package https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Ayanrajpoot10/bughunter-go from pkg.go.dev.

The package is no longer maintained, and I would like to request its removal from the Go module registry to prevent further usage or confusion among developers. Let me know if any additional steps or information are required to process this request.

Thank you for your assistance!

We expect this to be handled by the module publishing a retraction.

See https://go.dev/ref/mod#go-mod-file-retract:~:text=Wiping%20out%20a%20module%20including%20all%20pseudo%2Dversions%20and%20tagged%20versions%3A

Ayanrajpoot10 commented 2 days ago

I appreciate that the module has been marked as retracted. However, I would like to request the complete removal of the module github.com/Ayanrajpoot10/bughunter-go from proxy.golang.org and pkg.go.dev.

The reason for this request is that even though the module is retracted, users can still manually install specific versions, which I want to prevent entirely. I no longer maintain this module, and its continued availability may cause confusion or issues for users.

Please assist in permanently removing this module. Let me know if any further steps are required from my end.

requesting a removal only hides the documentation, it will not prevent users from using the module.

Ayanrajpoot10 commented 2 days ago

I understand that removal will only hide the documentation. However, my goal is to completely prevent the public use of this tool. I had already deleted the repository earlier but had to recreate it temporarily just to retract the versions.

Now that the module is retracted, I kindly request the complete removal of this package so that users cannot install it using go install. Allowing continued installation, even with retraction warnings, defeats the purpose of my deprecation.

I hope this explanation clarifies my intent. Please assist in fully removing the module from proxy.golang.org, pkg.go.dev and preventing further installations.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

As the owner wants to hide documentation for all current and future versions, accepting the pkg removal request.
