Update README for the new UUID & __init__ syntax #55

| For larger amounts of code you can also use `@require Package include("glue.jl")`. | ||

So unless you package your glue code in a module it won't be precompiled?

Correct. For a small amount of code you probably don't care, but for a lot it might be nice to have precompilation.

@timholy Does MyGluePkg need to be a separate Julia package with a separate repository? Or is there a way for the MyGluePkg code to be stored in the same repo as MyPkg?

There is no official support for that, but MyPkg could do a push!(LOAD_PATH, @__DIR__) and make itself its own little package repository.

Would that be an acceptable approach for package authors to take, or is that considered bad practice?

I don't have any kind of firm opinion on that, sorry.

Thanks for updating the README. What about julia Base packages, such as |

They do, though I'm not sure where to find them officially. They do appear in your |

I'm not sure you need to trigger on them, however, since they are always present. Just make your package dependent on them. |

OK, thanks, yes, that is how it was before. I just thought it'd be cleaner to separate the LinearAlgebra support. |

Thanks a lot @timholy! |
There still seems to be some confusion about how to use this (#46 (comment)), so let's document the new syntax in the README. CC @davidavdav
