Maps: [Infra] Publish 7.0.0 to NPM react-native-mapbox and deprecate old repo

[kristfal]

We need to launch this package to NPM and deprecate the old package.

Todo:

[ ] @nitaliano needs to publish and/or grant org ownership of react-native-mapbox on NPM
[ ] We need to deprecate the old repo
[ ] We need to cherry pick fixes that went into the old repo after the fork into this repo

[HPieters]

First off, thanks for driving this project forward!

Is there any way I could help with this? For example with the cherry picking off fixes? What was the date of the fork?

[mfazekas]

@HPieters this was the last common commit:

In general it would be great if people could try this new repo, migrate their app (see migration notes), report missing documentation, regressions and usecases that's no longer supported by the new version.

[kristfal]

The date of the fork was 8th of April. We have 2 PRs in the old repo that I think we should get in:

https://github.com/nitaliano/react-native-mapbox-gl/commit/41f487cc56506cd3db2bc0c098b75f0203608b26

https://github.com/nitaliano/react-native-mapbox-gl/commit/c3c028f1f05c1e0e3968c41311ff88f5a2cbcfd8

They fix full support for RN59 on iOS and crashes for Android.

Hey, I'm very grateful that you are working on this one. When do you expect to release 7.0.0?

[kristfal]

Hoestly I don’t know. No word from @nitaliano. If I don’t hear anything from him during the week after next, I’ll release it on NPM under a new org name.

In the interim, installing from master on github is the best solution.

[dsznajder]

@kristfal Ok, If you would like to get some help with docs / js oriented stuff, just ping me :)

[kristfal]

Hey,

no news from @nitaliano.

I've created the org react-native-mapbox-gl on NPM and suggest we rename the org here on github and publish under this namespace. Any thoughts? If not, I'll get started fixing it this week/weekend getting a 7.0.0-RC1 out.

(I know we'll need to update quite a few references around in both code and docs, but I think the time for waiting is over.)

@mfazekas and @sfratini, I'll need your NPM usernames to give you publishing rights.

[mfazekas]

I'm fine with react-native-mapbox-gl 👍 Username is [email protected]

[kristfal]

FYI to all subs: I'm renaming org now, you should update your local repo remotes to the new org.

Amazing, thanks for all the work 🚀

[kristfal]

@mfazekas feel free to merge infra PR after your review. I’m out for the next few hours. Wanna see CI pass but have to leave now. I’ll test Travis -> NPM publishing tonight.

[kristfal]

This is now done. 7.0.0-RC1 is now on NPM and Github.

@kristfal thanks for taking care of this! 👏
