The presentation discusses the challenges of package and dependency management in software development and proposes solutions such as using package URLs and a universal versioning system.

• The complexity of package and dependency management in software development makes it difficult to express boundaries between dependencies and automate the process.
• Solutions proposed include providing installation prerequisites, using a single package manager, and using general-purpose package managers such as Spack, Conda, Nix, and Guix.
• Package URLs can be used to name packages and a universal versioning system can be used to deal with version ranges.
• The universal versioning system can accommodate different versioning schemes and express version ranges in a universal way.

Helm is a widely used and stable CNCF project that manages packages for Kubernetes, and will continue to dependably deliver what users have grown to love. So, which direction will Helm go in 2022 and beyond? In this session, Helm maintainers will show you why you should continue to be excited about Helm, and what lies ahead. We’ll highlight key features that you can take advantage of – both tried and true features users have grown to love, as well as newly matured features from over the past year. For the dynamic future of Helm, we’ll cover how interested users like you can keep the momentum going by participating and even contributing to the project. We’ll preview what this looks like, from simple tasks that most users can get started with, to helping shape the vision of Helm 4.Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!
