This TIP proposes enhancing the existing package command with additional subcommands to serve as the top-level command container for the existing pkg::create and pkg_mkIndex commands.
The pkg::create and pkg_mkIndex commands, while they relate to packages, are their own separate top-level commands. For consistency, clarity and also making it easier for new users to see all the related options, those commands should become options under the existing package command.
Additional package command options will be added with the following subcommand syntax:
package create ;pkg::create package mkIndex ;pkg_mkIndex
Each represents the existing command that is commented. The arguments to each would remain what the current command takes.
The following old commands could then potentially be eventually deprecated:
pkg::create pkg_mkIndex
