x/pkgsite: package removal request for https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/emar-kar/region

[emar-kar]

What is the path of the package that you would like to have removed?

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/emar-kar/region/v2
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/emar-kar/region

Are you the owner of this package?

Yes

What is the reason that you could not retract this package instead?

Repository is already deleted. I didn't even know this test util was published on pkgsite

[bcmills]

Can you recreate the repo, publish new versions with retract directives, and then delete it again?

[emar-kar]

@bcmills Can I create just a blank project or should search for the source code of the original one?

[emar-kar]

Done

[bcmills]

The project can be empty except for the go.mod file containing the retract directive.

You'll need to tag the commit containing the retract directive with a release higher than the previous releases (v1.0.1 and v2.5.1?) and have the retract directive cover every version up to and including the new tags, then fetch those versions through the proxy to get it to pick up the retractions.

[emar-kar]

I did like the instruction says, but still can download the module via go get

[bcmills]

I see the retraction notice for v1. Note that there is a typo in the tag for v2.5.4 — the tag is v.2.5.4 (with an extra leading ..

[emar-kar]

Oh yeah, sorry. Just fixed the tag name

[bcmills]

That should work, then. You may need to give it an hour due to the proxy's cache TTL (#38065).

[emar-kar]

Okay, now the only version I can get is v0.0.0

[findleyr]

Is this WAI now? I see the retract notifications for those modules.

[findleyr]

Ok, closing. Please comment if I am closing erroneously.
