Secondly, how can i reset a password for a haxelib user? I created a haxeui haxelib user a while back and the password was generated (so no way to remember it) and stored in a text file on my computer - then i had an SSD failure so ive lost that password. Whats the procedure for resetting it?
Thanks Andy - email sent - no rush at all, thought it might take longer so figured id ask before i actually wanted to publish using haxeui user.
As for the deletion, what about renaming? Or what is the general advice in situations like this (as i mentioned it causes confusion)… ideally, renaming it to haxeui-legacy would be the best course of action.
I guess for the case of haxeui, the notice is just not clear enough. At least for me, I didn’t find the notice because I expected it to be in the README, but it’s only located in the GitHub repo summary on the top.
To make it absolutely clear, you can commit a change that removes everything from the old GitHub repo, and the only remaining files are 1. a README with a single-line deprecation notice, and 2. a haxelib json with a version bump with the same deprecation notice. And publish this empty new version to haxelib.
It would allow people who used haxeui 1 to continue find it. They just have to pin to the previous working version. People can also find the old commits from the GitHub.
Sorry for the intrusion, but I’d still gpg-encrypt it (with a strong password, passed via another secure channel, or public key) even if it’s hashed as md5 hashes are not inherently an encryption method, but maybe I’m too paranoid
@ianharrigan I really recommend LastPass, I use it on all my devices (so, excellent cross-platform support!) and never ever lost or had to care about passwords anymore. It also generates strong passwords for you, painlessly. Excellent UX as well (improved a lot throughout the last year) and excellent value for the money.
