Questions:
Having problems with the dub package repository updating with my merge on GitHub. It's a simple project with only 1 branch, the master.
- Must I create a new release to update the version tag every time I commit to the master, so that the dub package repository will see this change?
- Is there some alternate method to update the version tag on GitHub, other than create a release?
- I understand it takes some time for the dub pkg repository to update from GitHub. Is the norm 1 hour, 1 day, or longer?
- I triggered a manual update from the dub pkg repository yet I get the following package error:
Version 0.1.2: Package description contains an obsolete "version" field and does not match tag 0.1.2: 0.1.1
- The error above stemmed from me having a (depreciated) version field in my dub.json file.
- I replaced the dub.json with a dub.sdl, removed the depreciated version field, and created a new release.
- I can probably fix by creating yet another release, but I would appreciate some guidance if I'm going astray or not?
