It would be good if a package could define what it supports, currently I have two thoughts for this:

Single target

Typed as 'computer' | 'turtle'. Not a fan of this option as a turtle can run everything a computer can but you might not want that behaviour.

Array of targets

Typed as ('computer | 'turtle')[], this would allow for slightly more control over install targets.

Self explaintory, a way to uninstall packages.

It might be a cool idea to have a way to have packages run automatically when they are installed.

This would be useful for a clean-up program I want to develop because then it could be used with one command instead of two.

It would significantly improve the development experience if there was an option to specify the branch or URL to install carl from when using the installer. Obviously this would also require some changes to the repository definition, so I'm not sure of the best way to achieve this.

It would be good to run the carl package through luamin either as a build step or automatically when downloading the package.

It is also worth considering if carl should automatically minify all packages when they are downloaded.

It may be better if default repositories are added locally on install instead of being hard-coded into the worker. This would make package resolution more consistent and allow users to completely override default behavior.

off the top of my head:

1. Add a field to the pkg def something like "help": "<file>"
2. Create a .carl/help directory in setup script
3. When a package is installed if there is a help file copy it to that directory
4. In bootstrap set the help path

Maybe carl ls?
