support for polyrepos

[jamesdbrock]

I would like to spago publish v4.6.0 of https://github.com/rowtype-yoga/purescript-protobuf

Result:

✘ The manifest file specifies a location (
{"githubOwner":"rowtype-yoga","githubRepo":"purescript-protobuf","subdir":"library"}
) that differs from the location in the registry metadata (
{"githubOwner":"rowtype-yoga","githubRepo":"purescript-protobuf"}
). If you would like to change the location of your package you should 
submit a transfer operation.

This is true, I have changed the location of the package. But I cannot submit a transfer operation because I have never published this package with myself in the package.publish.owners field. Advice please?

Unfortunately it looks like you've moved to a monorepo setup, and the registry does not yet support monorepos and won't for some time. I can take care of the transfer operation for you if you are not using a monorepo, but you cannot publish a monorepo until Pursuit has been updated to handle that. You can also see this discussion:
https://discourse.purescript.org/t/pursuit-the-registry-and-monorepos/4685

@f-f we should probably let you change the subdirectory of a monorepo package without verification, so long as it's the same owner/repo pair. Not in this case, because we don't support monorepos anyway yet, but for the future.

Yes that's right, except actually we've moved to a polyrepo setup, but I expect the registry support is the same for monorepo and polyrepo. Thanks for the explanation.

Ah — thank you for clarifying, and yes, that’s right. Pursuit and purs publish require a top level src directory, iirc.
