Use Artifacts.toml?

Open kescobo opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Right now, most julia packages making use of these files do so using something like this (taken from here)

function get_bio_fmt_specimens()
    path = joinpath(dirname(@__FILE__), "BioFmtSpecimens")
    if !isdir(path)
        run(`git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/BioJulia/BioFmtSpecimens.git $(path)`)
    end
end

I was wondering if we should move instead to using Lazy-loading Artifacts.toml files instead.
