You need master GitHub.jl for `Checks` I believe.

`FemtoCleaner` is working for me. I confirm I am on master `GitHub`, which is tagged `v4.1.0`
```julia
```

I tried to upgrade Ipopt.jl . Femtocleaner did not find anything.
Warning when using Ipopt:
```julia
julia> @time using Ipopt
WARNING: importing deprecated binding Base.Libdl into Sys.
WARNING: Base.Libdl is deprecated, run `using Libdl` instead
in module Ipopt
in __init__ at /home/ufechner/.julia/packages/Ipopt/udV2/src/Ipopt.jl
┌ Warning: `contains(haystack, needle)` is deprecated, use `occursin(needle, haystack)` instead.
│ caller = (::getfield(Ipopt, Symbol("##1#2")))(::String) at Ipopt.jl:26
└ @ Ipopt Ipopt.jl:26
1.425591 seconds (2.26 M allocations: 118.443 MiB, 4.80% gc time)
```
The last warning was easy to fix. But how can I fix the first two warnings regarding Base.Libdl? I did not find where this depreciated code is used. It does not seam to happen in Ipopt.jl, but in some dependency.
Any idea?

Pkg3 question: if I want to keep up with the new package developments generally, do I have to
```julia
pkg> activate .
pkg> up
```
**separately in each package/project I am working on?** My understanding is that unless I do this, the manifest in each project just remains fixed.
In contrast to v0.6, where the package state was global and a single `Pkg.update()` would update everything. Note that I am not complaining, I think the new way makes more sense, just asking a clarifying question.

No the package manifests are ignored on the global level AFAICT, so `up` in the top level environment is enough.

I found Base.Libdl in Ipopt.jl and replaced it with Libdl.
In addition I added at the top:
```julia
if VERSION >= v"0.7.0-DEV.3382"
using Libdl
end
```
Is it suggested to use such an if statement?

Sure, or you can include `using Compat.Libdl`, which should work on both 0.6 and 0.7.

Thanks!
I started to fix the depreciations in the tests of Ipopt, but I realized that most of the depreciations appear in MathProgBase.jl, which is used by Ipopt. Unfortunately the tests of MathProgBase.jl fail, and fixing them is beyond my skills.
Have a look:

Any hints welcome!

Is there a standardized way of telling where a given package is in this upgrade process? For example, Trying to use [Distributions.jl](https://github.com/JuliaStats/Distributions.jl) led me to problems with [Arpack.jl](https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/Arpack.jl/issues/21), which were quickly fixed. `Distributions` still isn’t working. There a a few commits mentioning v0.7, but strangely there’s not a single issue mentioning it. Still, I can’t imagine I’m the only one trying to use it with 0.7 - is that possible?
I’m happy to learn the upgrade process and try to do a couple. But the uncertainty makes it really hard to judge what the road ahead looks like before I can get started on my own project. Any suggestions?

Just create an issue “Update Distributions.jl for Julia 0.7” and discuss the needed work with collaborators. ☀

Fair enough, maybe others are wondering the same as me. Thanks 🙂

I was able to install FemtoCleaner as instructed (had to run Pkg.update() a few times). Now, when running the FemtoCleaner, I get an error:
```julia

Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Try using an absolute path.

Thanks, looks like I blindly followed the example code without thinking. Needed a ‘/’ before “home”.
