I wonder if the methodology you just outlined is the goal, or merely a temporary stepping stone
The latter, I think
(looking at a roughly 1 year timeframe, I suppose).
It could probably be pulled off in a couple of days if someone decided to invest the time. It doesn’t require changes to Julia or Pkg, I think, I imagine it is only a matter of changes to JuliaRegistrator.
Would you say that this methodology is more convenient than registering the 2 packages manually?
For two packages, no, and lately I have been registering them sequentially. I think I started it before JuliaRegistrator could register subdirectory packages.
