Description Victor Porton 2019-01-22 20:01:12 UTC 
I am trying to register a forked GitHub repo.

code.dlang.org warns me that I am about to register a forked repo (yes, that is correct). After I click "Yes", I see "Missing form field." (despite I entered the repo URL correctly)

DUB registry bugs are tracked on GH:  https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/issues.

Now if you look at https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/pull/130, it seems that it's disallowed to prevent name hijacking:

- person 1 makes a package, not registered.
- person 2 fork person 1 package and register it.
- person 1 wants to register but cannot because the name already used.
