   Rust requires a github account to add packages to crates.

   Dart requires a google account to add packages to pubdev.

   Disappointing.

   Looking at racket packages, you can just create a email/password account and publish packages. Nice!

     @yarmo I recently published a #rust crate and don't remember needing anything Github related.

     @yarmo ah no, I misremember apparently. Sorry for the commotion :-)

     @friend @yarmo well, not my repo, I'm afraid! It's using an experimental VCS, https://pijul.com/

     @isagalaev
     Just to note, though, that you don't have to publish your crate on crates.io.

     People can specify your Git repo in their dependencies and that's hardly more complex.

     @underlap what I'm fascinated about is that its model theoretically should not have the problem of git where commits only make sense in the timeline of a branch, so you have the classic pain of maintaining slightly divergent branches (like prod and staging) where sometimes the same change would have a conflict in one but not the other. In pijul a patch in multiple branches has the same identity, and conflict resolution is *another* patch, local to a branch.

     @isagalaev How's #pijul working out for you? I dipped into it briefly once...

     @isagalaev @underlap After fighting a whole bunch of rebasing and merge conflicts and all I'm really curious to try pijul out, it all sounds very promising. I thought I would try it over the Christmas weeks, but now we're already here on the other side. Any day now.
