Package information

Description

I am the author.

Also, a question - how can I remove this library from PIO registry? It's deprecated.

ivankravets commented 4 months ago

You can remove the library within 72 hours after its publishing. The library that you mentioned is trendy, with over 850 new installs for the last month. See https://registry.platformio.org/libraries/ayushsharma82/AsyncElegantOTA/insights/analytics

Once we remove it from the registry, multiple projects will be affected.

I recommend creating a new patch version (for example, 2.2.9) and including a compilation warning that this library is deprecated.

@ivankravets , Thanks for the reply. I know, that's exactly why I want to remove the library from PIO registry (it's already under process for arduino-registry), people should migrate to ElegantOTA.

Being the author of both, AsyncElegantOTA was marked deprecated long ago therefore It's not in my best interest to keep this up in registry. There is already a deprecation notice for it but people are following old tutorials and soon the library will break with platform changes.

It's not in my best interest to keep this up in registry.

This is exactly the purpose of the registry - to KEEP ALL PACKAGES and VERSIONS even if they are deprecated.

I understand your position. However, it would be best if you thought from the end-user perspective. Usually, if something works, no one wants to change it. It would be best if you let our users have a choice of which version of the library they can use. As I mentioned before, publish a new version with a WARNING block to the deprecated library, and users will decide when they will have time to refactor their code base and migrate to the new version.

@ivankravets Already done that, warning block was in v2.2.8 for past 10 months, that’s enough time for anyone to acknowledge it.

So as a library author, I’m telling you to remove my library from your registry. This is not a stranger who is asking you to remove a random library. I hope you acknowledge my request.

The library has been deleted.
