Robin Brown (Feb 07 2023 at 16:19): Robin Brown (Feb 07 2023 at 16:19):Finally, I'm generally opposed to letting the same package version ever be published twice, but if we do need full deletion that enables re-publishing I think I want this tracked somehow with a "generation" index so that a given combination of (package-name, generation, version) does immutably map to a single piece of content.
Lann Martin (Feb 07 2023 at 16:26):What if the Log ID was derived from name and generation? Then per-package generation monotonicity would be a registry log invariant
Robin Brown (Feb 07 2023 at 16:26):Interesting, you'd have to know the latest generation somehow.
Lann Martin (Feb 07 2023 at 16:27):Actually, what if generation went in the package init message?
Lann Martin (Feb 07 2023 at 16:28):I guess that sort of breaks decoupling from the package name
Robin Brown (Feb 07 2023 at 16:29):More broadly, it makes the package internally the authority about things we haven't previously let it
Robin Brown (Feb 07 2023 at 16:35):There's a lot of ways of incorporating generation numbers into the system and it's a big design question I want us to think carefully about.
Robin Brown (Feb 07 2023 at 16:36):I think there's also some overlap here between generations, package transfer, and rolling up state that we should think about.
