Thanks for the suggestion - this would cut a lot of unnecessary download time for users who manually install.

I am marking this issue as p2, which means that we are unable to work on this immediately.

We use +1s to help prioritize our work, and are happy to revaluate this issue based on community feedback. You can reach out to the cdk.dev community on Slack to solicit support for reprioritization.

@peterwoodworth do you accept outside contribution?

peterwoodworth commented 1 year ago

We do! Check our contributing guide to get started if you're interested. I'm not familiar with how exactly this is packaged and released, or if this process is even exposed to the user (I honestly doubt it, to be honest). But feel free to look around and take a stab at it if you find a way to do this
