Package Control not showing our latest release

#1

We published a hot fix for our plugin 3 days ago and it is still not showing up in package control. noticed other developers in Discord are also have trouble for past 2+ weeks.

Is there an issue with Package Control? Some workaround?

Obviously there’s an issue with packagecontrol.io not picking up new releases. Maybe another out-of-storage issue or anything else. The only persoen who has access to debug is @wbond. Community can only guess, wait and pray for a fix.

It still makes me nervous that packagecontrol is a third-party service, that is not backed or supported by SublimeHQ. It such a critical component to the ST ecosystem, that without it, idots like me would not know where to start.

SublimeHQ has backed package control through donations for a while. We are currently in the (slow) process of taking it over from Will.

@bschaaf is there an ETA on when latest package updates will be accessible in Package Control?

The problem (I think) are from the GitHub Action workflow to update the repository

Recent actions failed (but did not error :frowning:)

Looking though the history of the action, it seems it frequently fails. And then starts succeeding for no apparent reason.

You are on the wrong track!

Those Github Actions drive channel_v4.json which is used for libraries, only.

Packages are crawled and deployed by packagecontrol.io directly, which we do not have access to.

Current infrastructure of mentioned Github Action is not sufficient to crawl all packages.

Recent actions failed (but did not error :frowning:)

This is no failure, but just a skipped upload of a new channel_v4 due to lack of changes. Nothing has been updated since last crawl run.

Is the maintainer of packagecontrol.io not reachable?

He seems rather busy in his day job and has shifted priorities.

Is this something we can help out with a PR?

Doesn’t look like there are any updates here yet, right? Weirdly, package control has picked up a couple of updates since then. I wonder how. cc @wbond

Just saw another new package (TestManager) appear at the above link. Perhaps only new packages get recognized, but not updates of existing ones. Weird bug.

Good news! Updates are back. Hope this will help accelerate the transition of Package Control to the Sublime team.

I’m done, I’m not fixing package control for the x’th time. Package control was the thing that made me invest in sublime text, and then in merge this ~13 years ago. For past 2 years I’m experiencing issues with package control missing in panel for no reason. If it’s not yours the provide your own solution. Clearly users would love to have it.

Or maybe I’m just frustrated that in crucial moments I’m missing my go-to tool and I’m looking for reason to not to pay for the next license extension. :man_shrugging:
