I developed a package called [`EquationsOfState.jl`](https://github.com/singularitti/EquationsOfState.jl). However, when I try to build the latest version (`v1.1.1`), I got such error:

```julia

But I do have `Reexport` in [`Project.toml`](https://github.com/singularitti/EquationsOfState.jl/blob/e7d730e7c862af9e7692d3b842cebaabc656a7bf/Project.toml). Why cannot I build my package? I have a clean `.julia` directory. I have tried to `rm` and `gc`, and even remove `.julia`, but it did not help.

Could it because [I once changed the package’s name and UUID](https://github.com/singularitti/EquationsOfState.jl/commit/97cda049a99fa15aa56aeaad534f38b9cc0155d8)?

Yes, very likely. Remove the old one and add the correct one.

I’m sorry I do not understand to remove what and add what? Remove the old package from `METADATA.jl`?

The `General` registry is based on `METADATA` which is based on `REQUIRE` files. You don’t have the dependencies in your [`REQUIRE`-file](https://github.com/singularitti/EquationsOfState.jl/blob/e7d730e7c862af9e7692d3b842cebaabc656a7bf/REQUIRE), so that is (likely) the problem.

Thank you for your reply. I am just curious about why `Project.toml` is not enough. Because I saw

> 1. When everything is working the dependencies are computed from the `Project.toml` not from `REQUIRE` . You don’t need the `REQUIRE` file anymore.

That refers to the process of deprecating METADATA/Attobot/REQUIRE in favor of General/Registrator/Project. The last component is being tested right now through [Registrator](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/Registrator.jl/) and a branch of General. Depending on how the beta test works, it should be rolled out soon. Once that happens, REQUIRE won’t be needed and Project.toml will completely replace it.

Thank you! I have installed [the attobot app](https://github.com/attobot/attobot), and I wonder how I can benefit from `Registrator` over `attobot`?

It is currently in beta so some changes are happening currently (e.g., making it read-only permission bot). You can install it just like Attobot and follow the docs on the project. For that, no REQUIRE required.

```
So create new packages, have them get registered, update them etc.
To test it, add @nishanth's fork of the registry to Pkg and try to install
the packages etc. The more testing the faster we can make it the
default and the less problems it will have when we switch.

```

You can join the Slack channel #pkg-dev for more info and support testing it out.
