Conan-center-index: [center.conan.io] Package search shows mixed versions

Created on 13 Jan 2020  路  12Comments  路  Source: conan-io/conan-center-index

Hi!

As CCI is providing new Conan package based on name/version@ only and other packages from Conan Center are "incompatible" but present in conan.io/center results, it would be nice having a label to distinguish between CCI packages and old packages from Bintray.

For instance, when searching for Catch2, we have 2 results:

As a regular user, I need to click on each one to understand what I want. However, with a simple label it can be solved easily:

We just fixed this - and you should see a difference by tomorrow. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks @Dattax !

I still see the same behaviour. Is the fix in?

Yes, the output is:

The way it can be differentiated: use the first package, the one that has a number of downloads attached. But yes, @Dattax I'd prefer to have a more evident separation of cci and legacy packages.

The number of downloads is also something that has been requested #158

Thanks @memsharded, but is that not what it was before?

@philsquared Yes, exactly as before.

Ah, sorry @memsharded - were you saying "yes [the fix is in]" or "yes [the output is the same]"?

Yes, the output is the same, I agree this is still an issue, it hasn't been properly fixed, such output is confusing.

@memsharded The fix went in this morning and you should see the old/legacy packages with lighter text and and info icon which tells you the packages are from an older version

We will not be able to add the number of downloads for the non-C3I packages. We have implemented the requested change showing the difference between C3I and other packages. I think we can close this issue. :)

Ok, this is cool, many thanks, this issue can be closed!
