Hi,

I see that when the swift 2.2 branch was created the package manager
was removed. https://swift.org/blog/swift-2-2-release-process/
explains that the package manager won't be included with 2.2.

I would like to use the package manager with swift 2.2. I expected to
be able to build swift-pm directly from the
GitHub - apple/swift-package-manager: The Package Manager for the Swift Programming Language repo, but that doesn't
seem to work any longer with the latest 2.2 snapshots- the README
references files that no longer exist in the snapshots.

Is it possible to divorce the build of swift-pm from the swift
language so that once a stable 2.2 is released I can use it with swift
pm?

Thanks,
Jay

It is included with the development snapshots.

It should work, if you are using a release snapshot that doesn’t come with some of the things then you will need to build swift-llbuild first, then the README instructions are still correct.

I’ll update the README to detail this stuff as this is probably the 20th report of this confusion I have read today :(

I don’t understand.
