!!! compat "Julia 1.8"
Registry flavors are only available starting with Julia 1.8.

- `conservative`: suitable for most users; all packages and artifacts in this registry flavor are available from the Pkg Server, with no need to download from other sources
- `eager`: this registry offers the latest versions of packages, even if the Pkg and Storage Servers have not finished processing them; thus, some packages and artifacts may not be available from the Pkg Server, and thus may need to be downloaded from other sources (such as GitHub)
- `eager`: suitable for most users; all packages and artifacts in this registry flavor are available to download but it might not come from the Pkg Server
- `conservative`: this registry only offers the versions of packages that have been proccesed by the Storage Servers; thus, the latest version of some packages and artifacts may not be availale.

The default registry flavor is `conservative`. We recommend that most users stick to the `conservative` flavor unless they know that they need to use the `eager` flavor.
The default registry flavor is `eager`. We recommend that most users stick to the `eager` flavor unless they know that they need to use the `conservative` flavor.

To select the `eager` flavor:

```julia
ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER_REGISTRY_PREFERENCE"] = "eager"

import Pkg

Pkg.Registry.update()
```

To select the `conservative` flavor:

```julia
ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER_REGISTRY_PREFERENCE"] = "conservative"

import Pkg

Pkg.Registry.update()
```
To flavors are chosen by setting the environment variable `JULIA_PKG_SERVER_REGISTRY_PREFERENCE` to `eager` or `conservative`.
