A list of all packages may be found locally at .qi/index.json (taken from here), while a list of the currently used packages is in .qi/index.lock.json. The lock file ensures version consistency across a team.

​
Useful commands

qi upgrade          / grab the latest versions, update qi.q
qi vendor cron      / copy current version to vendor/cron

​
Order of precedence

When importing, say, the log package, qi looks will look in the following places, and stop when it finds it:
  1. if vendor/log/log.q exists, load from here
  2. else if log is listed in .qi/index.lock.json load from ~/.qi/cache/qi-log/[SHA]/log.q
  3. else obtain version from .qi/index.json, and load from ~/.qi/cache/qi-log
Vendoring is the best approach for teams wishing to deviate from the qi codebase. If version consistency is the only concern, the lock file is sufficient. To have qi automatically vendor newly fetched packages, set AUTO_VENDOR=1 in your configuration.
