Looks like this is breaking a bunch of packages

[lbenet]

Thanks for taking a look on this!

Yes, you are right, it is breaking a bunch of packages. I wanted to solve it, and have done something in that direction already. But I do not know how to proceed exactly. Do I erase the release, and then retag it? Or is there another way to do things?

How do you proceed when you have an umbrella package? Do you release a tag for the small packages first and then tag the umbrella package, or the other way around?

Thanks for your feedback!

The usual solution is to add upper bounds on the packages that are breaking. See an example in https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl/pull/14609/files. Then you can release new versions of the small packages without the users of the umbrella package noticing. However, notice that you probably don't want to break anything in a bugfix release, i.e. x.x.n -> x.x.{n+1}. Make it at least a minor release.

Thanks a lot for the explanation; I'll discuss this with @dpsanders.

I guess I should close this, right?

[lbenet]

I just noticed I can't close this. Can you please do it?
