Repository (Management) Discussions

[nobkd]

I'd collect general things about the repository and repository management here, that (I feel) are worth a discussion.

I think it would be okay to use each "main answer" under this discussion as a new starting point for topics, so the talk doesn't spread out over different issues, PRs, other discussions.
(This can also be a negative point, if there are too many topics, but I think it will be okay for now)

Feel free to open your own related topic here

• Faster installs (at least for bun)
  Revert unnecessary changes of bun.lockb in PR #149 #150 (comment)
  • does not have to rebuild the dependency tree all the time

Contra / Needs decision

@nobkd you are clearly a key contributor to Nue. I'd like to talk about things. What is your timetable next week? Can you send me a calendar invite anywhere between 8-20 EET time?
