PackageControl / Version Control Questions

#1

I’m new to using GitHub / Version Control & just released my first plugin ( SlideNav )

I have 3 questions:

  1. Do all changes made at the GitHub repo show up @ PackageControl installations & updates, or only specific releases?

  2. When packages update, there’s usually a new tab shown @ SublimeText listing what plugins were updated & their associated changes. Are those messages just the release notes from GitHub.com/UserName/PluginName/Releases ? Or do you have to do something else to include update messages?

  3. I’ve noticed there’s a delay between making changes at GitHub & seeing those results on PackageControl. Does anyone know the update frequency of PackageControl?

  1. Whenever you tag a commit (with a higher version), it will get picked up eventually. Usually this is done within approximately one hour, but there is currently an issue with the crawler that causes it to take way longer.

  2. https://packagecontrol.io/docs/messaging

  3. See 1.
