FAQ: How do I update / delete my metadata in the registry

[KtorZ]

Removing metadata from the registry is an ad-hoc process. If this was allowed without verification, anyone could delete metadata of anyone. Therefore, there are two cases:

I need to update my metadata and my private/public owner keys are the same.

Then, the procedure is the same as for registering new metadata:

• Update your JSON file
• Produce a new signature that will replace the existing one
• Submit a pull request

I need to register different private/public owner keys but I want to keep the same ticker.

Here, you'll have to make two pull requests:

PR A

• Update your previous registration's ticker to VOID + a number that isn't currently taken (e.g. VOID2).
• Produce a new signature to replace the existing one
• Submit a pull request
• Make sure to indicate your previous PR as a comment of that PR and explicitely mention that you are voiding this registration and want it to be deleted.

PR B

• Create a new registration re-using your previous ticker
• Name it after your new public key
• Submit a pull request
• Make sure to mention your "void PR" as a comment so that it's clear.

This PR will fail to pass CI until the first one is merged. This is normal.

My pull requests has not been merged yet. Why?

Remember that pull requests are managed by humans and we are doing our best to make this a diligent process. Requests are treated from the oldest first; please do not ping administrator of this repository directly in issues and be patient 🧘‍♂️.
