The new preprocessor instruction #UsePackage loads the specified package installed in "~/.form/". If the package is unavailable, the command will try to download and install it. Decent Unix shell and a set of commands (including Curl) are assumed to be available via the system() function. Example: #usepackage benruijl/[email protected]
This option enables users to install a package in such a way that the package can be loaded by #UsePackage. Example: form -install benruijl/[email protected]
The package manager now tries wget if curl is not available.
