Hi all,

Due to some recent changes, I wish to re-release the Metadata module(v 2.9). How can I go about reverting a previous release and adding my changes to the module before releasing it again?

Thanks!

Why would you want to revert the previous release instead of just releasing a new version? [https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Versioning](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Versioning)

The reason being, currently we’re at version 2.9.0 . Which is the same as that of the reference application 2.9. Thus, releasing a 3.0.0 wouldn’t be the best thing in my opinion. Right?

If guess technically, the question should be : How can I update an existing release?

Awesome @dkayiwa , I’ll make the rest of the changes to the pr and hopefully we can try to get the release done today itself.

Well, it’s already done.

BUT after 2.9.0 you have either 2.9.1 or 2.10.0. Not 3.0.0
