Hi @IRDMPE. I am confirming your request.

Unlike submissions, this type of request is still handled manually. The Library Manager index maintainer occasionally comes through to clear all the outstanding requests. They will close this issue when it is done. You will get a notification from GitHub at that time.

After that, you can monitor the indexing of the library via its dedicated logs web page.
Information about that here:

Yes, sorry. We were doing some maintenance clean up after testing initial registration and decided to clean the repo and update the library name. The URL is still valid, but the tags, commits, and library.properties file are all updated.

@per1234 So we just need the library re-indexed.

@MatteoPologruto Hey! Does this mean I can go through the normal registration procedure now?

@IRDMPE you don't need to do anything at all. The library name has been changed as you requested.

The reason you see "Removing Iridium 9704 Launch Pad" in the logs that were shared by Matteo is that the way we perform a name change is to remove the index entries under the old name, then reindex the library under the new name. You don't see anything about the reindexing in the logs because the reindexing happens automatically through a scheduled job that runs hourly.

I am a bit confused then, the indexer log doesn't seem to have updated
https://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/logs/gitlab.com/iridium/9704_launch_pad/arduino_library/

It's hard to tell if the changes have occurred correctly. The version should be 0.8.15.

Although, the actual IDE library manager tab appears correct.

Unfortunately the Arduino web team have instated a draconian caching policy on the indexer log web pages so they are often days out of date.

As you noticed, the actual Library Manager index has been updated even though the logs didn't reflect that. So all is well
