Hi,  
I recently migrated my Gogs installation to Gitea, and until now, it works fine.  
However, in one single repository I have a strange issue: there should be 2 releases, but only 1 is shown and can be downloaded. What could be the reason with the missing release? I think it could be due to some missing entry in the database or something like that.

 ![a](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/1X/ace6c0375c9d3777d315d092c4e05c9f590e024c.png)

Are the files (.zip) for the releases stored something on disk? if so, could it be due to a missing file?

Can I fix the missing release, or is it possible to get rid of it somehow?

I would guess that the count will be correct with [https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/2389](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/2389), this will be part of Gitea 1.2.0.

Hi,  
thanks. I have some other repos where I also have tags, but there are no releases displayed, which is correct. I think not every tag generates a release, does it?

Correct, a release is based on a tag, but just the existance of a tag doesn’t build a release 🙂

🙂 okay, and how is then a release distinguished from a tag?

A release have to be created manually, and a release can get uploads/artifacts attached while a tag just provides the source.
