Excuse the terrible typos. See the corrected version below.

Hi,
it's very common to upload test releases to Deken. They usually have
suffixes like "alpha", "beta", "pre", "test" in their version number
to make it clear that they are not stable releases. Pd users are
really used to install any externals with Deken. Manual downloads are
really the exception nowadays.
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).
To circumvent this problem, Deken sorts "~" before everything else, so
you can safely use "v0.1~test". The only caveat is that "~" is not
allowed in git tags, which can be a problem for certain CI setups
where the version number is derived from the git tag.
Another trick is to include a bug fix number for the final release:
"v0.1.0" ranks higher than "v0.1-test"

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.
