    Hi,

    I just tried the new Package Manager UI and it's really cool!

    I was wondering if it's planned (or not) to handle custom packages, I see that it's using npm, so we could feed a private npm repository (or something similar) in order to also handle our own private packages ?

    Thanks!

    Most definitely the intent for non-Unity defined packages, but we want to iron out everything first by dog fooding it ourselves.
    Having private repositories for packages is also something we will be planning for as well.

    Awesome news!
    I guess there is no ETA on that feature but if (or when) there is I sure wanna know.

    How is handled the link back to the packages ? I mean, when you add a package it's not on your project (it's well hidden inside npm cache folder) but how are the assets and things like dll handled ? What's the behavior when there is a conflict between packages ?
