Unregister package

Package unregistering will be available via bower unregister <package> soon, but for now, you can unregister packages yourself using curl, if the package is hosted on GitHub and you're an owner or collaborator.

curl -X DELETE "https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/PACKAGE?access_token=TOKEN"

Where PACKAGE is the package name you want to delete and TOKEN is GitHub's Personal Access Token that you can fetch from here: https://github.com/settings/applications
A default GitHub Personal Access Token will work -- no permissions necessary
You need to be an owner or collaborator of the repo and URL needs to be OK.
You'll likely want to bower cache clean after your change.
Please remember it is generally considered bad behavior to remove versions of a library that others are depending on. Think twice :)

If the above doesn't work for you, you can request a package be unregistered

Unregistering (for owners)

First, Have access, Install toolbelt, Then:

heroku run node --app=bower

d = require('./lib/database');
function deletePkg(name){ d.deletePackage(name, function (err, res) { console.log('error: ', err); console.log("result: ", res); }); }
deletePkg("package-name") // and repeat as neccessary

Defaults

If the PORT and/or DATABASE_URL environment variables are not set, the registry will use the following defaults:

PORT=3000 and/or DATABASE_URL=0.0.0.0.

In order to change either variable, set them in your environment: (i.e. linux)

export PORT=[port]

export DATABASE_URL=[url]

Registry service has timezone set to UTC via environmental variable TZ.

Postgres db SERVER_ENCODING is set to UTF8.
