ACE Registry

This is the Julia package registry for ACEsuit packages that are still under heavy development. Mature packages suitable for public use will generally be moved into the General registry.

To install the ACEregistry, open a Julia REPL and type

] registry add https://github.com/ACEsuit/ACEregistry.git

You also want to make sure that you have the General registry installed:

] registry add General

Afterwards use the normal package manager commands to add, remove, dev, etc the packages in this registry.

On Windows, there might be problems due to stalled git clone command. One workaround that can be used is by calling systems's git. This can be achieved by setting environment variable JULIA_PKG_USE_CLI_GIT to true:

ENV["JULIA_PKG_USE_CLI_GIT"] = true

This can be added to Julia's startup.jl or call this before any Pkg commands that requires git clone. This will work as along as git clone command works (not blocked by Windows Defender or any other programs).

Registering a Package or a new version

Both registering a new package or a new version uses LocalRegistry. This needs to be installed first:

] add LocalRegistry

Suppose now that we want to register a new version of JuLIP.jl:

] dev JuLIP; we will assume this puts JuLIP into ~/.julia/dev/JuLIP/.
make the changes to the package
Bump the version number, by manually editing Project.toml, commit and push.
Now the following sequence of commands will register the new version in the ACE registry.
```
using LocalRegistry
using JuLIP
register(JuLIP; regsitry="ACE")
```
This edits the registry files and commits the changes and then pushes the registry to the git server. If the package has already been registered before (i.e. this is a version update), then a simple register(<packagename>) is sufficient.

Remarks

If you don't have push access or are unsure about merging the updated registry, then make a PR. (Maybe this step should be automated at some point.)
Sometimes, I found that the main v1.x environment is incompatible with a package, and e.g. using IPFitting will fail. In that case, one first activates the package's environment.
