Package Manager for Markdown
I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.
Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?
Main criterias (in order) are:
1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.
2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.
#Markdown #CommonMark #PackageManager #Programming #Dev
#NPM #RubyGems #Cargo #PickingAMastodonInstance
#Ruby #Python #Rust #Javascript #NodeJs #Lisp #CommonGuide
@theory @Perl Yes. I didn’t dig into the other PRs; I just thought to point out that #CPAN already has a solution for outside dependencies in the Alien namespace and went looking there.
Unfortunately it seem the #Perl #CommonMark maintainer resisted four years ago and let the PR languish. The repo itself has also not seen any commits since then either.
So good luck to all concerned. Maybe reach out directly per #PAUSE: https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about#takeover
@theory @Perl This sounds like an XY problem. Why not just depend on Alien::cmark? https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::cmark
