Package comments

not yet.
we have real packages support since not much time.
now we also have the concept of “Package Manifest” where you can put comments and other stuff.

… but the tools are not yet ready :(

Why does RPackage>>#packageManifest (which should just be named #manifest) return an instance of the manifest class, but all metadata is on the class side?

probably a bug :)

One question, is someone working this kind of metadata management? Because
1) instead of keeping it in the class, we can keep it in objects.
2) It can be serialized into STON for git versioning and probably it can be stored in some way in Monticello

I don’t like in general to have data in methods…

For Monticello, we really should add file storage.

it’s easy

-> add ivar to RPackage
-> annualise it lazily with an in-Memory filesystem
-> on MC save, copy the files into a “resources” subdirectory of the zip file.
-> on load, just load the files from the “resources” subdirectory into the in-memory
filesystem.
-> add a tool to add files to the in memory filesystem. The best here would be
to add support to GTInspector to copy files —> DONE.
