Discussion
[edit]Notified participants of WikiProject Informatics/Software
- Comment Each package on CTAN has a package ID such as latex-base and a directory ID such as macros/latex/base. The package ID seems to be more useful for users. The directory ID seems more useful for developers because it can be used to download the source code from a mirror server. —Dexxor (talk) 10:10, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support This would be good. See CPAN project ID (P5779) for a similar existing property. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:09, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
