[SOLVED] Remove the link between a package and the WAPT store

Hello,

I imported a package from the store and then customized it.
How do I remove the link between my customized package and the store?
I don't want the package to be updated from the store so I don't lose the customizations.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Tux,

A useful practice to adopt is to create a configuration package (e.g., prefix-firefox-config) that has the package containing the binary (prefix-firefox) as a dependency (depends attribute).

This way, you benefit from the full security provided by Tranquil IT's CI/CD pipeline and you can modify your custom configurations independently of the store package.

Hello Mr. CARDON,

I've already implemented your recommendation for several packages.

However, it doesn't apply to packages like tis-audit-local-admins.
How can I unlink the store from the prefix-audit-local-admins package that I've customized?

I don't understand the question; there's no link between the store and your Wapt repository
There is simply a duplication option in the "Import from Internet" tab if a version on our site is more recent than on yours.

Therefore, you should not add tis-audit-local-admins to your cart when duplicating from our repository.

Hello,

I want to prevent a colleague from accidentally updating the package from the store (i.e., it won't offer the update anymore).

If I understand correctly, the update offer is based on the name after the prefix? If I rename the package, will it no longer offer the update?

Exactly ;)
