Manual page for Prolog Packs is almost empty #25

Closed wouterbeek closed 5 years ago

The following manual page on Prolog Packs is almost empty: http://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc_for?object=packages

It is linked to from the "Documentation" menu: Documentation > Packages.

It would be better to have a page with more content, explaining what packs are, and links to the list of registered packs.

This is not the page for packs.
This is the old page for 'packages' - things like the http lib that are part of SWI-Prolog. Having two names so similar is indeed an issue. Also, when we did the re-org a few old 'user contributed packages' were orphaned. This came up on the mail list a while back. Jan's take, IIRC, was that the old code was not maintained and best deprecated.

Oops, that nomenclature fooled me...

Still, there should be some links to packages, a ToC of some kind.

Seems the menu item DOCUMENTATION/Packages is the entry point. Enhanced description with 69564d1d320498d331c887ee5b34b3d0790e3492
