What steps are required to rename a published package?

Registry
1

I recently created a small library in a GitHub hosted repository:

https://github.com/ardnew/byte_order

Several versions of this package — 0.2.1, 0.2.0, 0.1.3, 0.1.2 — were published to the PlatformIO registry.

An underscore was used originally for consistency with a class identifier, but in the end was I able to omit all underscores from class names.

And because I loathe underscores with an inordinate passion, I tried to rename the repository and published packages to byte-order as follows:

# Use the GitHub CLI tool to rename repo
gh repo rename byte-order

# Make local edits, rev to 0.3.0, commit and release
git commit [...]
gh release create v0.3.0 [...]

# Publish the latest version 0.3.0 to PlatformIO registry
pio pkg publish

Observe there are now dup packages in registry:

  1. old: ardnew/byte_order
  2. new: ardnew/byte-order
# Unpublish all previously-published packages
pio pkg unpublish ardnew/byte_order@0.2.1
Package version has been successfully removed from the registry

pio pkg unpublish ardnew/byte_order@0.2.0
Package version has been successfully removed from the registry

pio pkg unpublish ardnew/byte_order@0.1.3
Package version has been successfully removed from the registry

pio pkg unpublish ardnew/byte_order@0.1.2
Package version has been successfully removed from the registry

Now when I search (pio pkg search byte\*order) I still see dup packages. For some reason it is retaining version 0.2.0:

ardnew/byte_order
Library • 0.2.0 • Published on Sun Apr 14 05:03:07 2024
C++ constexpr header library to convert byte order of arbitrary types

ardnew/byte-order
Library • 0.3.0 • Published on Sun Apr 14 19:15:31 2024
C++ constexpr header library to convert byte order of arbitrary types

I can try to unpublish it again, but it fails:

pio pkg unpublish ardnew/byte_order@0.2.0
HTTPClientError: Package version is already unpublished in the registry!

pio pkg unpublish ardnew/byte_order
HTTPClientError: Version 'None' not found

Am I doing something wrong? Can someone remove the older package named ardnew/byte_order?

Thanks!

Perhaps it was a cache on my end or PlatformIO’s end, but the old package byte_order is no longer appearing in the registry. I made no changes since previous post.

This issue is resolved. Thanks again.
