I'd say the Dub repository is this, or at least should be at least the basis for it. Ceylon has Herd, JVM languages otherwise has Maven Central and JCenter, C++ now has Conan. However, I think Cargo for Rust is current the technology leader in mixing a curated central repository. Dub could usefully be split into two a curated part where stuff gets removed as well as added, with review and possible rejection before adding, and a free for all section from which is never lost and can be added to freely. Cargo and Ceylon effectively have this. The trick is not to actually have a free for all added bit (a la PyPI) but to allow for DVCS accessed packages. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t:+44 20 7585 2200 voip:sip: russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m:+44 7770 465 077 xmpp:rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype:russel_winder
