(Duplicate) Libraries API [#2607762]

# Summary

This is an API module for integrating with external libraries.

As in Drupal 7 Libraries API remains an important requirement for D8 sites and overall CX. Though Drupal 8 core has introduced improved library management tools (libraries.yml and unified library loading) it still does not offer a solution for handling external library dependencies that may be shared across multiple extensions. As a result this remains the primary problem space for the Libraries API module.

Awesome, thank you very much. I meant to do this the other day but I got side-tracked.

Title:	[libraries] Libraries API	» (Deuplicate) Libraries API
Status:	Needs work	» Closed (cannot reproduce)

So I was just made aware of the fact that this thread is actually a duplicate to #2605194: [libraries] Libraries API, which was opened ~1 week before this one (Oct 30th vs. Nov 3). This meant that contrib_tracker was using that other issue to derive the porting status of Libraries API, which was confusing and incorrect.

Given that more people are following this issue I would have preferred to mark the other one as a dup, but it seems that the earlier timestamp on the other issue makes that impossible to do in practice, as contrib_traker insists on using it as its reference and ignoring this thread. As a result, I'm moving all the notes and relationships for this issue over to that one.

I hope that's workable. If someone more familiar with the d.o. business logic of contrib_tracker knows a better way please let me know.
