From 677a546ed51a8d5a91c276cdfce7932e4b64e781 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: per1234 Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2021 06:48:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Remove instructions for library re-release We are no longer supporting the alteration of library releases. A release should be an immutable snapshot of the library. Having multiple revisions of a library with the same identifier can cause confusion for the users and no need for a library maintainer to do it since they can more easily make a new release, removing the old one from the repository if absolutely necessary. We will always provide support for removing problematic releases from the Library Manager index, and the FAQ provides instructions for that procedure. --- FAQ.md | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/FAQ.md b/FAQ.md index 756a6785..f154b483 100644 --- a/FAQ.md +++ b/FAQ.md @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ - [What are the requirements for publishing new releases of libraries already in the Library Manager list?](#what-are-the-requirements-for-publishing-new-releases-of-libraries-already-in-the-library-manager-list) - [Why aren't releases of my library being picked up by Library Manager?](#why-arent-releases-of-my-library-being-picked-up-by-library-manager) - [Can I check on library releases being added to Library Manager?](#can-i-check-on-library-releases-being-added-to-library-manager) - - [I did something wrong!
