crash on PkgDev.register

[KristofferC]

My folder layout should be all standard.

julia> PkgDev.register("SuiteSparse")

Where was your SuiteSparse folder located?

[KristofferC]

➜  v0.5 pwd              
/home/kristoffer/.julia/v0.5
➜  v0.5 ls -l | grep SuiteSparse
drwxrwxr-x    5 kristoffer kristoffer  4096 maj 14 10:46 SuiteSparse

[KristofferC]

To add, this worked when I moved the package to the v0.4 folder and used Pkg there.

[wildart]

You do have METADATA directory in ~/.julia/v0.5, don't you? Or maybe it's a link?

[KristofferC]

Hmm, yes. I think everything should be completely normal with my paths..

➜  v0.5 ls -l | grep METADATA
drwxrwxr-x 1017 kristoffer kristoffer 36864 maj 16 17:58 METADATA
➜  v0.5

The same issue happened to me.

I'm using PkgDev.jl 0.1.1.
