The Pkg API often changes with each Julia release. Some of the capability of Pkg had been duplicated in this package, but it lacked some of the new capabilities of Pkg. With this change, we now leverage RegistryInstances, which makes it easier for us to support multiple versions of Julia. There are a few differences between the old implementation that was in this package and the implementation provided by RegistryInstances: - The old `RegistryInstance` had a `pkgs` field containing a dictionary mapping package names to `PkgEntry`s. The RegistryInstances version of `RegistryInstance` has a `pkgs` field, too, but it is a dictionary mapping `UUID`s to `PkgEntry`s. - The old `PkgEntry` had a `repo` field. The RegistryInstances version does not. Instead, it has a lazily initialized `info` field, which should be accessed using `RegistryInstances.registry_info`. Another benefit of using RegistryInstances is that it supports both uncompressed registries as well as registries stored in compressed tarballs. Thus, this fixes JuliaEcosystem#37.
