Yanked releases
On FlakeHub, you can yank specific flake releases. Yanked releases are:
- Never considered when resolving a flake version constraint, even if that release is the only possible match for the version constraint.
- Still available to users who have that version locked in their
flake.lockfile. - Still visible on the website, although the UI clearly indicates that they’ve been yanked.
You may want to yank a release if, for example, you’ve published it by mistake or you consider it to have such significant flaws that you want to shield others from using it.
