A portable and decentralized package manager for sharing Logtalk and Prolog resources

[Paulo Moura]

Hi,

The recently released Logtalk 3.51.0 version includes a beta version of the new 
"packs" tool, a portable and decentralized package manager for sharing Logtalk 
and Prolog resources:

https://logtalk.org/manuals/devtools/packs.html

This tool allows anyone wishing to share their work to setup a pack registry 
allowing users to easily install and update those resources. Some of those pack 
registries are indexed at:

https://github.com/LogtalkDotOrg/pack-registries

The "packs" tool runs on most of the Logtalk supported backend Prolog systems 
(see the "Known issues" section in the first link above for current 
exceptions). When installing Prolog packs, Logtalk is only required to run the 
tool.

The tool includes documentation and linter support for defining new registry 
and pack specifications. Feedback is most welcome. Let us know if you setup a 
public pack registry.

Enjoy,
Paulo
