[Sparforte] SparForte 2.5

[Ken Burtch]

Hello Pascal,

I have not heard of ALIRE.

There are many application package managers: Kompozer for PHP, Pip for 
Python, Cargo for Rust, NPM for JavaScript/Node.js.  I usually 
understand these to be bad ideas.  First, they are an attempt to create 
a repository to earn money, not usually to the benefit of the 
programmer.  Second, they make it more difficult to manage security 
patching.

However, there may be a case for ALIRE in a smaller community like Ada 
and Spark where the community may not have the support from operating 
system package managers.

My work has been focused on the core language and I haven't made any 
plans to work on an application package manager...at least, not yet.  I 
would need to finish user-defined packages first.

If you think ALIRE is a good alternative to operating system package 
managers, then please investigate it and I will incorporate your work 
into the project.

Regards,

Ken B.
