. And then we added links in the doc that point to the old commit.

That was intentional though. I think we can just say that you need to use Julia 1.3 there.

Yeah, the gen_project.jl script does not work on the latest Julia. Try running it with Julia 1.2 or Julia 1.3.

Should probably be deleted and functionality replaced elsewhere if people still want it.

Ah yes. And then we added links in the doc that point to the old commit. Whoops.

Probably time to remove those links from the docs. They are in a couple places in the Pkg.jl docs. I think on the page about creating projects.
