In looking at Henrik's pl-web, I copied the demo app directory `demo-app` to a standalone directory that would be a "project" directory. I called it `pl-web-demo`. Then, I copied Henrik's libraries `pl-web` and `ext` into the project directory. And since I'm running a global version of `pil` (in `/opt`), I linked in the `lib` directory under the project directory. So, now that project directory looks like this.
[pl-web-demo]$ l total 28 drwxr-xr-x 6 rick users 4096 Jun 28 16:49 . drwxr-xr-x 3 rick users 4096 Jun 28 16:25 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 rick users 4096 Jun 28 16:27 ext lrwxrwxrwx 1 rick users 21 Jun 28 16:49 lib -> /opt/lib/picolisp/lib -rwxr-xr-x 1 rick users 1867 Jun 28 16:25 main.l drwxr-xr-x 4 rick users 4096 Jun 28 16:26 pl-web drwxr-xr-x 2 rick users 4096 Jun 28 16:25 public drwxr-xr-x 2 rick users 4096 Jun 28 16:33 sessions And everything is working fine. But then I thought about the issues of creating such a project directory. It needs to keep track of its dependencies. Notice that I installed all the dependencies manually. (I also had to create an empty `sessions` directory with which to start -- this is a type of "dependency" I guess.) Now, to my question. Is there a standard, automatic way to do this? Basically, I'm wondering if there is a project management tool like Maven (Java), Leiningen (Clojure), Cask (Elisp), ASDF (CL), but for picoLisp. I'd also be interested in hearing arguments for or against such a thing. (Not having used these tools, I'm ok just manually keeping these things up, but many of you here are more experienced than I in deploying and maintaining software, so I'd appreciate your thoughts.)
