Hi Jacob, I'm very excited to see Julia's implementation of Arrow is restarted.
Pkg.jl seems now support treating packages in subdirectories. I guess the feature is added by https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/1766 and https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/RegistryTools.jl/pull/31. As these pull request, you can tell the location of Julia package directory to Pkg.jl by `subdir` parameter in Project.toml. 2020年9月14日(月) 4:33 Jacob Quinn <quinn.jac...@gmail.com>: > > Hello all, > > Hopefully this email works (I'm not super familiar with using mailing lists > like this). > > Over the past few weeks, I've been working on a pure Julia implementation > to support serializing/deserializing the arrow format for Julia.
