I think that "Creating packages" section was fulfilling more than just a "tutorial" role; it also seems to be the only place that adding test dependencies was documented (serving as a "reference" function). Since testing is via |

Agreed. I think the "reference" for Project.toml (including test deps) currently lives in the |
Since #52102 these links to the Pkg.jl docs are dead. This should point them to the new location in the Julia docs. There is a reference in CONTRIBUTING.md that should change as well, but maybe not until a Julia version with these changes is released: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/3e4b38684e38a015446253f5752ee9cf840f50cc/CONTRIBUTING.md?plain=1#L17

I think this should be reverted. When we put together the Pkg docs the idea was to have a complete document for Pkg (duh) similar to e.g. https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/. Now there are lots of things missing. I also feel this was done without seemingly any discussion, and in particular I don't think any of the active Pkg developers agreed to this so a bit strange to rip out a page from their docs. |
This link is broken as of JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#3690 and JuliaLang/julia#52102
As mentioned in #52102 (comment), having this information be moved from Pkg to Base creates a quite uncomfortable split between information about the package manager between the Pkg docs and Base. Pkg PR: JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#3818

JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#3690 is a part of this PR and should be merged/closed simultaneously. Let's keep discussion here.
The motivation for this move is that the content on this page is not Pkg.jl specific. This isn't a perfect tutorial and this PR does not aim to adjust its contents, simply place it more appropriately and discoverably.
I recall @c42f and @KristofferC expressed interest in this move previously.
