LabVIEW Solution Builder Tool by NI to Cascade LabVIEW builds & PPLs Presentation | Video |
NI R&D would like to introduce an open-source tool for "cascading LabVIEW builds" using LabVIEW and Application Builder. This tool aims to help LabVIEW-based solutions or applications that sit on top of several Libraries, which in turn build to Packed Project Libraries. This tool calculates the correct dependency order for each build and makes the replacements in memory. LabVIEW developers face this challenge when trying to organize their code into to componentized binaries. More details and the tool can be found here: https://github.com/jovianarts/LVSolutionBuilder |

Caring for the [LabVIEW] Environment Presentation | Video |
Software development environments (SDEs) are designed to make the software development process as straightforward as possible. However, a one size fits all approach won’t allow you or your team to be as productive as they could be. In this presentation, we’ll go through several ways to customise the LabVIEW environment to enhance productivity, by leveraging the plug-in nature of the LabVIEW SDE |

Could we have a discussion about Package Manager/ Builder.
I am currently trying to get my head around a proper usage especially given the (to me linited) functionality of the Package Builder and it's interfaces in LabVIEW & TestStand vs (to me ) enhanced functionality of the Package Manager CLI.
Furthermore: my perception is that installation via Package Manager is the way to go in the future. Taking a look at the poorly moderated Package Manager Forum with limited feedback from NI does not support this impression.

Excellent topic.
Sam did a presentation at the last User Group:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEEZNUc2EZc and also at NI Week 2017??. These are somewhat TestStand focused.
Please list your pain points and questions so we can build a good list before the event. We can ask Sam if he would be willing to lead this. I will also contact NI once we have the list ready.

According to the documentation your perception is right.
