switching registration system

[johnnychen94]

I tried to upgrade ImageMorphology to support Julia v1.0 and v1.1 in JuliaImages/ImageMorphology.jl#14 and fix broken CI, also a release v0.2.0 is published.

But in Julia CLI it says no such release

(v1.0) pkg> activate .

(jc) pkg> add ImageMorphology@0.2

Looks like it's because attobot is disabled according to switching package registration system, and we need a change from attobot to Registrator

And looks like installing new Registrator will be enough to fix this release failure, but this's out of my knowledge at present :(

Looks like this was caused by incorrect release name. It should be v0.2.0 and I named it 0.2.0

[timholy]

@RalphAS installed the new Registrator, so you should be able to do it now.

[johnnychen94]

Looks like the new Registrator isn't compatible with the old one. Once the upstream dependency tagged a new release, there would be version conflict in the downstream unless explicitly specifying a old version.

For example, I've released an ImageMorphology v0.2.0 using the new Registrator, (the same to ColorVectorSpace)

(v1.1) pkg> activate .

Are following repos deprecated, or are they just need someone to maintain? (they're not updated for at least two years)

• Tinker
• CameraGeometry
• ImageCL
• IntegralArrays

I can help to fill these Project.toml and fix travis.yml. In the meantime, I'm not sure if we should drop julia v0.7 support, more specifically, should I

• set julia v0.7 compatible in Project.toml
• drop julia v0.7 test in travis.yml

a small talk with @Evizero says once 1.0 works we can drop 0.7. I guess we only need at most three versions under CI test, i.e., 1.0 as LTS version, 1.1 as the latest release version, and nightly build which allows failure.

JuliaImages/ImageCore.jl#71 (comment)

Conclusion: set v0.7 incompatible when we drop the CI test for it.

JuliaImages/ImageView.jl#171 (comment)

The answer is yes.

[johnnychen94]

There's a registrator bug for julia version compatibility julia = ">= 1.0" as described https://github.com/JuliaComputing/Registrator.jl/issues/103

The following package versions aren't compatible for julia version >=1.3:

• Images v0.18.0
• ImageMorphology v0.2.0
• ImageMetadata v0.7.0
• TestImages v0.5.0

(Possibly would be fixed in General in the future)

[johnnychen94]

A large part of the switching procedure is finished except ImageTracking and ImageInpainting, which are not registered yet.

Thanks so much @johnnychen94 for your steadfast stewardship of this transition! 🎆
