Updates to GitHub Package Registry
Blog post from GitHub
GitHub recently announced the beta release of GitHub Package Registry, a package management service that allows users to publish both public and private packages alongside their source code. Since its limited launch, the team has addressed community feedback by fixing issues, enhancing performance, and partnering with Apple to integrate with Swift Package Manager. A crucial update to the service is the revision of the deletion policy, which now prohibits the deletion of packages or versions through the GitHub UI or APIs to prevent project disruptions, although exceptions can be handled through GitHub Support. The service is expanding with 2,000 additional accounts added to the beta, and more features are expected as they continue to gather user feedback to refine the product further.
