All packages got prefixed with "mrt". What should I do? #298

Closed apendua closed 10 years ago

apendua commented 10 years ago

It's been yesterday when I realized that all my atmosphere packages got prefixed with "mrt" instead of my username. It's weird because I can clearly see that packages of some other users (but not all of them) are prefixed correctly. Is this something that can be fixed?

Anyways, the big question is: what I should do now? I can of course create another package with the right prefix but then I am wondering what will happen to the old version.

@tmeasday I you think this solution is ok I will go for it. I just wanted to make sure what's going on and what's the best way to proceed because I don't want to create unnecessary copies of packages.

@tmeasday Ok, I have found this page:

https://atmosphere.meteor.com/accounts

But I think it no longer works, right? When I try to "connect" it reads:

Something went wrong: Invalid redirect URI [400]

This is probably outdated, right?

@apendua. Thanks for asking.

  1. You can republish the package with a different name but it's not ideal as a) Migrating users won't pick it up and, b) Dependent packages will break people's apps (see the current problems with cmather:iron-router -> iron:router).
  2. So I'd suggest just sticking with mrt:X for now and waiting for packaging renaming which I believe will be in a upcoming point release of Meteor.
  3. https://atmosphere.meteor.com/accounts is now working, so go there, and ping me when you've attached your account. I'll take it from there.

@tmeasday Ok, done. What next? I suppose you need to add me as a package maintainer here and there, right?

BTW, is it possible to remove a package that's already published?

tmeasday commented 10 years ago

@apendua - is "apendua" your MD username?

There's no way to remove a package. We'll try to get a way to "hide" packages on atmosphere soon. I guess you'd need to hassle MDG about getting a package removed from commandline search results.

@tmeasday Yeap, that's correct ...

tmeasday commented 10 years ago

Done

@tmeasday Thank you for help!
