Vessel Package Set

The official community package-set for Motoko libraries to use with vessel.

What is a package set?

A package set is a collection of packages, such that there is only one entry (i.e. version) for a given package in the set.

This means that when you want to install a package:

• it must be in the package set
• its dependencies and all the transitive dependencies must be in the package set

Add your package

This repository aims to be a good collection of packages you can depend on. In general we welcome all packages, provided that they follow some guidelines defined in the contributing guide.

The linked document also contains instructions on how to add new packages to the set, and information on versioning and related policies.

How do I use this with vessel?

You should point the package-set.dhall file in your project at a tagged release of this repository like so:

let upstream =
  https://github.com/dfinity/vessel-package-set/releases/download/mo-0.4.2-20200904/package-set.dhall
in upstream
