#22I want to use SFTP with st3 but the package installer won't install without git. I don't have git. Does anyone know how can I get package control working?
Re: New Sublime Package Control Site
#23Very nice! I love seeing the download stats graph showing the last couple months of downloads with OS stats and embedded github README instructions. (ex: https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/EasyMotion (disclaimer: my plugin))
Some feedback on the plugin some of the commands won't work on none US keyboards. The scandinavia keyboard uses shift + : to make ;
and that kinda fucks it up when your shortcuts are: cmd-; cmd-shift-;
I know you can remap in your plugin. Which is great. But this is just a small not to let you (and hopefully other plugin developers) know that this is an issue they should be aware of.

Install GIT. Otherwise stick to downloading repos manually as zip, unpacking them and moving them manually.

#25Nice looks! I'm having troubles finding how to set a package st3 compatible?
Found some info on github, but not much documentation, https://github.com/wbond/sublime_package_control/issues/291

It's a requirement. Install it and be done with it.

#27I'm not sure what it is, but something feels very wrong to me about sublime package control. It might be the instructions for submitting new packages. It might be the difficulty of installing a bunch of packages at once.
For me it's the install method. I don't like the 'copy this code into your console' approach; all it takes is a subtly-hacked server and someone can redirect that URL request or cause other mischief. I just don't understand why Package Control isn't part of the standard Sublime Text 3 package by now. Do any Sublime users not use Package Control?
Have you seen the current installation page (https://sublime.wbond.net/installation)? I thought I made it pretty clear with the large orange banner the potential risks of the "Simple" method.

That was while Package Control 2.0 was in alpha. It is no longer in alpha and no longer requires using Git to install.
Re: New Sublime Package Control Site
#29Please don't use different label names for the same information. Having both "2" as well as "ST2" in different context leads to confusion.
That was done because the labels are shown in different contexts. When there is a very small amount of space to show information, I use 2 if it is ST2 only, 3 if it is ST3 only, or nothing if it is compatible with both. However, when there is more room in the design, I use ST2, ST3 and ST2/3.
Additionally, I made pretty liberal use of the title attribute on the site. Most things that are not obvious can be hovered for more information.

This is my feeling as well. The console shenanigans feel odd to me simply because it feels like it should already be there. There is a coolness to it, though, since it clearly demonstrates how effectively the interface can be modded from just a "simple" command. No doubt there are perfectly reasonable business explanations for why Sublime doesn't ship with it, but I wouldn't consider upgrading from 2 until 3 was supp…
The idea of bundling Package Control with Sublime Text has been proposed many times, and more than once directly to Jon. If I recall correctly, I don't think he replied directly to the suggestion.
My guess is that he would prefer to keep them separate for support purposes. If they are bundled then users may have the expectation that Sublime HQ Pty Ltd will support it.
