not allowed to upload new version of my package

[ArneBab]

I just tried uploading a new wisp-mode.el, but got a bad request: not allowed error. I fear that I might have used a different username for uploading (I used ArneBab to login but the package^pkg lists my email address). My username^un also shows no contributed packages.

When trying to upload a new test-package, marmalade stalled until Firefox gave up.

[nicferrier]

Apologies for a tardy response I was away in India. I'll have a look this afternoon or over the next few days.

[ArneBab]

no probs. Thank you for looking into it!

[rolandwalker]

I have the same issue with username roland.walker showing no packages.

Example package http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/ucs-utils will not allow a new version to be uploaded.

[nicferrier]

Thanks. It's probably linked to the partial failure of the original mongo-export. I am looking into it.

[nicferrier]

So, for some bizarre reason mongo has exported Roland's username as: "roland．walker"

I'm not sure what character that is and why it things fullstop is instead that. I can't see a reason why Arne's packages aren't listed for him.

[rolandwalker]

Thanks. That character is FULLWIDTH FULL STOP U+FF0E. I am not able to log in under the username with the weird character. Login for "roland.walker" is working fine.

[rolandwalker]

Still have the same issue. I can log in, but I cannot update libraries that belong to me. I guess they belong to "roland．walker". Can you just delete them? If so I can upload new copies under "roland.walker".

[nicferrier]

Really sorry. Will fix it over the weekend.

[malroc]

Can't upload a new version of my package (most likely I have 2 different accounts and don't remember the credentials for the right one, and it looks like currently there is no way to restore login/password). Could you please remove this package so I could upload a new version from another account? http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/sourcetalk

[malroc]

Hi Nic, could you please remove the old version of my package so I could upload a new one? http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/sourcetalk

[nicferrier]

Yes. Sorry, I've got a bunch of marmalade admin piling up. I will get to it this week hopefully.

[malroc]

NP. Any updates?

[nicferrier]

Really sorry. I am adding the user create right now... just testing it. As soon as I'm done I'll send you a reg.

[nicferrier]

@rolandwalker @ArneBab I'm really sorry I've been totally unable to reclaim that stuff... it just takes too much time.

If I make you new users will you please upload again? I'll send you a new user email anyway.

[nicferrier]

@rolandwalker sorry, I forgot that yours is just an assignment problem.

Can you confirm that these are your packages:

• alert
• buffer-utils
• wiki-nav
• syntactic-sugar
• express
• osx-browse
• minimal-session-saver
• simpleclip
• nary file ./expand-region
• ucs-utils
• string-utils
• unicode-progress-reporter
• window-end-visible
• unicode-whitespace
• font-utils
• unicode-fonts
• ignoramus
• anaphora
• truthy
• fixmee
• vector-utils
• button-lock
• flyspell-lazy
• dynamic-fonts
• ido-load-library
• hardhat
• persistent-soft
• back-button
• unicode-enbox
• browse-url-dwim
• hippie-namespace
• nav-flash
• list-utils

if so I will just reassign ownership

[nicferrier]

@ArneBab yours are:

• wisp
• wisp-mode
• cups
• kanban

please confirm?

I now have user creation and package deletion and I'm right now adding package add owner so I am going to use you guys to test all that.

[rolandwalker]

@nicferrier Thanks!

Yes, those are mine, and your list is complete, with the following amendments:

• "alert" was superseded by "express", because there is already a package named "alert" by another author
• "nary file ./expand-region" looks like a copy-paste glitch

[nicferrier]

oh yeah. There was a binary file :-)

I'll hand over alert anyway... then you can delete it if you want.

[nicferrier]

@rolandwalker done - http://marmalade-repo.org/profile/roland.walker

[nicferrier]

@ArneBab yours are done too.

[nicferrier]

@malroc do you have a username on marmalade? if you do and the user owns the package then you should be able to now delete it.

I am just preparing the documentation, but basically marmalade-upload (the package is now called marmalade-client ) now includes a marmalade-remove-package which will let you remove it.

[malroc]

@nicferrier as I said, it looks like I have 2 accounts, but I remember the credentials only for 1: oleg.kalistratov The package is owned by another one, and I don't remember the credentials for it. So could you please delete it manually, so I could upload a new version from the active account?

[nicferrier]

Or I can just assign ownership. Tell me which account you want it transferred to?

[malroc]

Sure, that would be great. My active account: http://marmalade-repo.org/profile/oleg.kalistratov/

[nicferrier]

Done. You should be able to upload it now.

[malroc]

Thanks, everything's fine now.

[ArneBab]

@nicferrier yes, wisp, wisp-mode, cups and kanban are my packages. Thank you! (and sorry for answering late - hectic times).

[ArneBab]

I now got to testing, and I still can’t upload wisp-mode or kanban (did not yet check the others):

• wisp-mode: https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/wisp-mode
• kanban: https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/kanban
• my profile: https://marmalade-repo.org/profile/ArneBab/

[nicferrier]

Ok. That's a bit odd because I am pretty sure I did these at the time. Try it now though and let me know.

[ArneBab]

It now works: I updated both kanban and wisp-mode without problems.

Thank you!

As a short feedback: It isn’t clear from the interface that uploading a package with the same version leads to a version-clash, and it would be nice to have an “upload new version”-button on the page for each package I maintain.

For the version-clash: Options to make this easier would be a sentence like “If you want to update a package, ensure that you increment the version” above or below the upload field or an explicit information on the error page: “If you want to update this package, you must change the version.”

[nicferrier]

you could easily send me a PR to that effect, no? just to stop my lazy arse (which is currently getting up at 5AM every morning and not getting home till 9pm in the evening) from not doing it.
