update the package manager version

[my-little-repository]

I am using julia v0.5.0. and I pulled Permutations.jl with the package manager.

 julia> using Permutations
  julia>  a = [4,1,3,2,6,5];
  julia> p = Permutation(a)
  ERROR: Improper array: must be a permutation of 1:n
   in Permutations.Permutation(::Array{Int64,1}) at /home/harven/.julia/v0.5/Permutations/src/Permutations.jl:20

The error does not appear in the master version. It looks like that an ancient version of Permutations, whichi is not compatible with julia 0.5, is bundled with the package manager. Is it possible to upgrade the version provided by the package manager? Thanks.

[scheinerman]

Thanks for writing. I am quite confused by all matters GIT so I’m not entirely sure how to do this. Is there a command in Julia I need to give? Any help you can render would be most appreciated!!

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I am just an end user who don't know much about the package manager and git... I would suggest to ask for some advice on the julia-users mailing list, there are many nice people there that are always eager to help.

[kalmarek]

I've just hit that as well.

You (as a maintainer/owner) need to

PkgDev.tag("Permutations")
PkgDev.publish()

have a look at manual

I just upgraded to julia v0.6 and installed Permutations v 0.0.1. I get the same error again.

  julia> p = Permutation(a)
  ERROR: Improper array: must be a permutation of 1:n
  Stacktrace:
   [1] Permutations.Permutation(::Array{Int64,1}) at /home/yves/.julia/v0.6/Permutations/src/Permutations.jl:20

Is it possible to upgrade the version provided by the package manager? Thanks.

[scheinerman]

I'll try to get on this. A lot of my code breaks or generates so many warnings in Julia 0.6 that I've avoided upgrading for now. If you can help me pinpoint the issue I'd appreciate it. I'd especially like a fix that works in both 0.5 and 0.6.

[scheinerman]

I checked the code on GitHub and it works in Julia 0.6. I think the problem is I really don't know how to use the package manager. If you install like this:

Pkg.clone("https://github.com/scheinerman/Permutations.jl.git")

instead of using Pkg.add I think you'll be fine. Please let me know.

[kalmarek]

the simplest fix (on the user side) for this particular issue is to doPkg.checkout("Permutations"); to tag and publish new version have a look at https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/packages/#Tagging-and-Publishing-Your-Package-1 (it's just two commands).

BTW I authored/reworked permutations functionality in https://github.com/Nemocas/Nemo.jl You may or may not find it useful

[scheinerman]

OK. I did these commands:

Pkg.checkout("Permutations")
PkgDev.submit("Permutations")

I hope (a) that was the right thing to do and (b) it worked :-)

[my-little-repository]

It didn't work for me. I guess that the two commands needed are

PkgDev.tag("Permutations")
PkgDev.publish()

The PkgDev.tag() command takes an optional second argument that is either an explicit version number object like v"0.0.1" or one of the symbols :patch, :minor or :major. These increment the patch, minor or major version number of your package intelligently.

[scheinerman]

I'm so sorry, but I can't make this work. Is there a way to "deregister" and start over? My advice is just to do a Pkg.clone and I regret ever using the "publish" system. When working in Julia I at least have the illusion I understand what's going on. But the package management/GIT world has me completely flustered.

[rdeits]

@scheinerman I would suggest you take a look at Attobot which is a tool designed specifically to make publishing new versions of Julia packages easier. Once you have set up Attobot (from the instructions on that page), rather than going through the PkgDev.submit() process, you just:

1. Create a "release" on github from here: https://github.com/scheinerman/Permutations.jl/releases when you're happy with the current state of your master branch
2. There is no step 2

[scheinerman]

OK. I tried this and deleted the old releases. I hope this worked! I still think using Pkg.clone is easier.

[scheinerman]

This is frustrating. I tagged the new version as 0.1.0. I wiped out my ~/.julia/v0.6 and did Pkg.add("Permutations") and yet it reports this:

julia> Pkg.add("Permutations")
INFO: Installing Permutations v0.0.1
INFO: Package database updated

and the old version (that has errors) is installed.

[rdeits]

You created the release correctly (although it wasn't necessary to delete the old releases), but the release won't be available for download until your new tag is accepted by the Julia package maintainers. That happens when this pull request gets merged: https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl/pull/10906 (sorry, I guess there was a step 2, but it's just "wait for the pull request to be approved). That usually happens within 12-24 hours.

[tkelman]

Can you enable Travis CI here?

[scheinerman]

OK. Thanks. I’ll give it a day and see what happens.

I don’t know what “Travis CI” is … happy to do it but need complete instructions please.

Travis is a service that automatically runs the tests for your a software package (typically whenever you push to master or whenever someone opens a pull request). It's universally used in the Julia community (and for lots of other languages) as a way to independently verify that a package is working. It's also free for open-source projects and integrates well with github (once you've turned it on, it will automatically detect github pull requests and tell you ahead of time whether your tests will pass if you merge that pull request).

The instructions to get started are here: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/getting-started/ . Travis is configured by placing a single file named .travis.yml in the top level of your repository. The following configuration file should work (I copied it from PkgDev.jl):

## Documentation: http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/julia/
language: julia
os:
  - linux
  - osx
julia:
  - 0.5
  - 0.6
  - nightly
notifications:
  email: false
git:
  depth: 99999999
## uncomment the following lines to allow failures on nightly julia
## (tests will run but not make your overall status red)
#matrix:
#  allow_failures:
#  - julia: nightly
## uncomment and modify the following lines to manually install system packages
#addons:
#  apt: # apt-get for linux
#    packages:
#    - gfortran
#before_script: # homebrew for mac
#  - if [ \$TRAVIS_OS_NAME = osx ]; then brew install gcc; fi
## uncomment the following lines to override the default test script
#script:
#  - julia -e 'Pkg.clone(pwd()); Pkg.build("$pkg_name"); Pkg.test("$pkg_name"; coverage=true)'
after_success:
  # push coverage results to Coveralls
  - julia -e 'cd(Pkg.dir("$pkg_name")); Pkg.add("Coverage"); using Coverage; Coveralls.submit(Coveralls.process_folder())'
  # push coverage results to Codecov
  - julia -e 'cd(Pkg.dir("$pkg_name")); Pkg.add("Coverage"); using Coverage; Codecov.submit(Codecov.process_folder())'

[scheinerman]

Thanks. I had a .travis.yml file, but have updated it using the code you sent.

[tkelman]

Did you also enable it at https://travis-ci.org/scheinerman/Permutations.jl ?

[scheinerman]

No. I didn’t know about this! Gack this is involved.

I activated a Travis account but have no idea what to do there. I'm getting close to giving up on all this ...

[tkelman]

I think, if you're logged in to travis and follow that link, there should be a fairly obvious "activate repository" button you can click

[scheinerman]

It passed tests on Travis, but Julia is still loading an old version with Pkg.add. I have no clue what to do.

[tkelman]

Sorry, https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl/pull/10919 was causing some issues with JuliaCIBot so I hadn't merged it yet. Since you don't have any reverse-dependencies it's fine. Should work now after a Pkg.update().

[my-little-repository]

It worked. Thanks.
