papm

Performant Atom Package Manager

Roadmap

Implementation Requirements (Future Features)

• papm shall use pnpm
• papm shall not use GitHub tags for publishing (See this for the background)
• papm shall either publish the atom packages to a npm registry, or use GitHub packages
• papm shall be able to install the packages that are published on the old registry (backward compatibility)
• papm operations shall not block the UI
• papm shall handle failed installations, bad connections, etc.

Strategy

The strategy I suggest is to:

• decaffeinate each file
• improve build process
• replace the old dependencies of the resulting code with modern replacements
• replace npm things with pnpm
• In the end, we can think about publishing on the npm registry or using Github packages
