<p>Hi,</p>
<p>it's very common to upload test release to Deken. They are
usually have "alpha", "beta", "pre", "test" in their version
number to make it clear that they are not stable release. Pd uses
are really used to install any externals via Deken. Manual
downloads are really the exception.<br>
</p>
<p>Care needs to be taken that the final release is ordered *before*
the test releases by having a lexicographically *larger* version
number. For example, "v0.1" is smaller than "v0.1-test" (= bad).</p>
<p>To circumvent this problem, Deken sorts "~" before everything
else, so you can safely use "v0.1~test". The only problem is that
"~" is not in git tags, so this can lead to problems in certain CI
setups.</p>
<p>Another trick is to include a bug fix number for the final
release: "v0.1.0" ranks higher than "v0.1-test"</p>

<div dir="ltr">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". :-)

<div>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.</div>
