Episode notes

Discussion on the challenges with package management in Swift, including the limitations of the Swift PM package resolving and the need for better identification and naming of packages.

Do we understand how to add a package dependency after three years of creating the package index? No, we do not! We also discuss adding macro targets to Package pages, GitHub’s CodeQL analysis for Swift, and automating updating our package dependencies. Of course, we have six new package recommendations too!
