Extends bpkg compatible packages

[mbl-35]

It would be great if the install et getdeps process could be extended to find a bpkg repo.
I mean, not only to search about a package.json or Makefile, but also a bpkg.json metadata file decription file (set before searching for package.json).
This is actually the only restriction (with @hydra1983 new features for gitlab target) why I can't use bpkg in a project (with composer and npm...).
I cant use npm and bpkg on a same project...
What was the reasons to have packages.json name (used by npm) ?

What was the reasons to have packages.json name (used by npm) ?

There's a discussion answering this question here: #17

I'd also like to have bpkg.json rather than packages.json.

Thank's for that informations.
Is that project still active ? There is only few commits still one year...

[Potherca]

I honestly don't know... @jwerle is the most active

but I'm guessing he doesn't have much time to spend on this project.

I'd say things are still active, if somewhat delayed.

@mbl-35 yes it sure is. I'm happy to send invites for those interested in actively driving this project forward. I'm pretty occupied these days, but still very happy to participate in the conversation!
