PackageManager Extended

Package manager for coordinating the lifecycle of Atom packages.

An instance of this class is always available as the atom.packages global.

Packages can be loaded, activated, and deactivated, and unloaded:

Loading a package reads and parses the package’s metadata and resources such as keymaps, menus, stylesheets, etc.
Activating a package registers the loaded resources and calls activate() on the package’s main module.
Deactivating a package unregisters the package’s resources and calls deactivate() on the package’s main module.
Unloading a package removes it completely from the package manager.

Packages can be enabled/disabled via the core.disabledPackages config settings and also by calling enablePackage()/disablePackage().
