Why aren't the packages distributed? Composer is incredibly distributed and likely doesn't cause nearly the same headaches for GitHub. Seems like a poor design

Seems like a poor design decision on the CocoaPods side.
- donarb 11y agoWhat package? My project may have a dependency on a specific commit that's between point releases. The problem is not packages, it's the index, containing 16000 subdirectories,
- debacle 11y agoSo the packages themselves aren't part of the repository?
- kmm 11y agoNo, only references to the repositories themselves are. The total Specs repo is only 300 megabyte, which comes to about 18 kilobyte per package on average. It's still absolutely ludicrous to use git for it, or worse, to bother github with it.
