What's the definition of Package in Julia-Lang? -


i have used packages in julia-lang, there many articles describes how work them, don't know exact definition of that.

edit

following general definition wiki:

package (package management system), in individual files or resources packed software collection provides functionality part of larger system

i know special points of view toward package julia-lang has. e.g. @ definition wiki java package

i julia package module (similar namespace in other languages) containing collection of related functions provide new functionality julia, , useful other people.

this definition not unambiguous though. example, suggested recently several image format packages belong inside single imageformats package, replies there reason (code size , binary dependencies) kinds of formats in separate packages.

if follow discussion of pull requests new packages on metadata.jl, have idea community's feeling packages should / like. takeaway following discussions more-or-less unified vision starting emerge.
