Could not register updated package

I developed a package a couple of years ago and registered it with Julia with no problem. Now I want to release an update, but I tried and failed to register the new version to Julia. The TagBot log shows “No new versions to releaes”. More details below.

After that, I downloaded the package and found it was still the old version.

I then went to my GitHub page and checked Actions → TagBot (on the left panel), clicked on the recent TagBot workflow runs, and looked at the log of the run (after a few more clicks). On the “Run JuliaRegistries/TagBot@v1” section, I saw at the end of the section “No new versions to release”.

What could be the reason and how to fix the problem? Many thanks in advance.

did you use Julia’s registration bot? GitHub - JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl: Julia package registration bot

It would be considerably easier to diagnose if you provided a pointer to your repository.

But for what it’s worth:

This is not in any way helpful for registering a package. At best it makes no difference.

The purpose of TagBot is not to register new versions and is not involved in making a registration at all. Its job starts once a new registration has been completed and it will then make a tag in the repository and a GitHub release.

To make a registration you either need to involve the Registrator bot or go via JuliaHub.

This is likely to solve the problem! I followed the instruction on the page and now I see the system is checking the files. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the information. I don’t have a clear understanding of how the system works yet, but I’m learning as I go.
