Something - anything. As much as I like Zig, I dread returning to it after a few months of being out of the loop.
Other options include but are not limited to providing minimal, low effort examples, high-level overview, linking to projects using these features, linking to relevant tests, commits, or source code, setting up an official community wiki and encouraging people to contribute.
Where does a beginner go to learn how to use the package manager these days? It looks like they still won't find any clues in the "Learn" section of Zig's website.
There's a promising page titled "Zig Build System" in there which references a "Package Management" section, but when you click on it, it doesn't exist!
But to answer your question, it exists in the comments of the auto-generated build.zig.zon file
The official answer to complaints about missing documentation has always been "ask in Discord". Pretending that this isn't the case is just disingenuous.

The comments document the file format of build.zig.zon, they don't tell you anything about how to actually use a dependency in your build system.
Pretty funny, coming from someone who went from "false dichotomy" to "the false equivalency".
You didn't accuse anyone of it, you presented one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44995714) and then claimed it wasn't one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44994200).
And then you blithely went on to talk about "the false equivalency" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44996188), which nobody had been talking about. What's that, if not "moving goalposts" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44998340)?
And I think if you won't be responding further it's because I either confused you or, more probably, just simply made you realise you were wrong. (Or maybe you knew that all along and just brazenly projected your own goalpost-moving onto someone else, Idunno.)
But if you change your mind and do respond, I'd be grateful for an explanation of how you came to the conclusion that I "seem confused", and about what exactly.
