Package Formulas is a package manager front-end to simplify the installation and update of different software packages in Pharo. It includes an installation mode with options to enable scriptable execution of formulas. It is agnostic from the package manager used to install packages.Being agnostic means that will detect installation specifications from multiple package installer implementations such as Metacello, Gofer and Pakbot.
- Package Formulas already includes a predefined set of categorized formulas.
- UI allows you to install packages in bulk.
- It is simple to create a script from selections.
- Scripts can be decorated with pre, post, and wrapper actions.
- You can request to list your own or recommended formulas by opening issues from the UI.
- Then the package formula will be reviewed to avoid naming conflicts, and to prevent adding broken formulas.
- The UI could be used with a custom container of your favorite, validated, isolated or private formulas.
- (Currently) it does not automatically collect packages from remote repositories or query on-line servers, however, you can easily jump to browse a selected project homepage.

This project use semantic versioning to define the releases. This means that each stable release of the project will be assigned a version number of the form vX.Y.Z.
- X defines the major version number
- Y defines the minor version number
- Z defines the patch version number
When a release contains only bug fixes, the patch number increases. When the release contains new features that are backward compatible, the minor version increases. When the release contains breaking changes, the major version increases.
Thus, it should be safe to depend on a fixed major version and moving minor version of this project.
