Where can I find documentation for a package only on Julia General Registry? Reupload

General Usage

Hello everyone,

As some of you know, some quite popular packages were unfortunately deleted (or private) and not accessible on GitHub anymore.

The reason for which I am very saddened that we managed to burn out a passionate individual as a community, but without reigniting the whole topic, I would like to be able to still use some of those packages, but how do I get the documentation?

Do I really need to install the package and generate the docs my self?

I reuploaded the question.

If you look in your Julia depot, you will find a complete copy of the package under the packages subdirectory, including potentially the documentation. If they used Documenter, then generating the documentation just involves running the make.jl under docs.

To be honest, I’m not sure if the author or their packages are permanently gone or not. Forum suspensions are not typically permanent, but it is up to them.
