Handling development packages like `languageserver` #90

Open telegott opened 9 months ago

telegott commented 9 months ago

Hey!

First of all, thanks for this great effort. I'm just trying it out now, but it seems to fill a gap sorely needed, which was handled much better by other languages like Ruby (rbenv + bundler) or Python (pyenv + poetry) . I haven't seen yet a functionality to separate out development packages like languageserver or test packages like testthat, which are relevant for CI, but should not be part of a deployed project. Is there an easy way to do this already, or, if not, is this a feature that is upcoming?

Best regards, Michael

Hi Michael,

thanks for your kind words and question! As of now, this is not handled, but we could probably do something using nix develop I guess. We would need to explore this further. Thanks!
