Hi, yes they will be added to the package manager, in due time. Perhaps I'm in a minority here, but my perspective from a couple of decades of doing software is that package managers should only hold releases that are definitely stable and production ready. One only has one chance for a first impression, and if new users hit problems with something in a package manager, it reflects badly on the project. When they hit the same issues after downloading a package marked "beta" from GitHub, it's quite a different impression. My opinion is that what I get from NPM or PyPi better "just work". :-)
So I need some reports from people on windows that installation and first steps are going smoothly, and then I will put it up in Deken. I would imagine it should be up in the next month.
