cannot install packages created with :file

Hi,

When a package is defined with :file (package(:file => ...)), it cannot 
be installed (ActsAsArtifact is not mixed in). Is this intentional? (one 
can still use self.id, self.group, self.version, self.type, maybe using 
basename(file_name) as classifier). If so, what should I do to add 
installation of this package?

Thanks,
Ittay

package(:file) creates a file task, not an artifact task, so you don't
get any of the special magical powers of artifacts, for those time
when you like the convenience of package, but don't want to create an
artifact.
