Description

Having a package management system like Perl CPAN, Ruby gems, and Python's PyPI would really simplify developing programs with rust. Ruby even has a couple other useful libraries built on top of gems, such as bundler, which lets you bake in the library dependencies into a project as well as install them into a local directory.

Open issues would be how to integrate sensibly with projects like Debian and Fedora that provide their own package management.
