My Julia package CustomGaussQuadrature.jl is in a repository on my GitHub account.

Using the description “How to develop a Julia package”, by Chris Rackauskas, I created a new Issue for this repository and entered the comment  
@JuliaRegistrator register()

I did this 4 days ago and I haven’t yet received a response.

My CustomGaussQuadrature.jl repository is set to **Private**.

Is this stopping the automatic creation of a new pull request to the Julia General Registry?

Hi @pvkabaila, welcome to the forum 😄

Yes. Your package must be public.

Many thanks for the information.  
I will make my package Public.

To expand on the first answer, the very purpose of the General registry is to make packages publicly available to all Julia users, which implies that the repository needs to be public.

If you want to only share your packages in a closed group, you can create a private repository and register it there. The [LocalRegistry](https://github.com/GunnarFarneback/LocalRegistry.jl) package provides tools for this.

Thanks for this information.  
I will simply make my package Public.
