Broken link to "using packages" #293

Open philandstuff opened 5 years ago

The "Using packages" link in the "Resources" section on the front page links to the README for elm-lang/elm-package. However, since 22nd August that README has just said "Merged into elm/compiler".

I had a look in the elm/compiler repository to try to find some documentation similar to the original elm-package README but couldn't find anything documenting how to install packages, version rules, how to update dependencies, etc. Has this page been preserved anywhere?

I was looking to find documentation on how to publish your own package as well and found the same problem. The previous version can be seen here.. readme.md But this is for 0.18, I am not sure what has changed for 0.19.

Still broken.

@evancz Can this be given some attention? It seems like low-hanging fruit that ought not to take a year to fix.

Currently there is no explanation on how to actually use packages, which leads to confused users asking questions on Stack Overflow and such.

Note that until the link is fixed, there are some instructions in the guide: https://guide.elm-lang.org/install/elm.html#elm-install
