I am still curious to know how to simply add a path to where julia’s Pkg
is looking for packages - like PkgTemplates
does.
This was be the most simple for me.
My guess is that the package was dev
-ed on your local machine, but add
ed on the other machine. The difference here is that an added package points to a specific commit, but a dev-ed package looks at every change in the source files and re-compiles the package even without them being committed. Perhaps you had not committed your changes after adding foo
? In this case adding the package will not get you foo
but dev
ing it will. Perhaps dev
is what you want anyway.
