Thanks for the detailed reply. I guess what I'd like to do is not create a DUB package for every little project I work on. It seems like most modern languages require a package/dependency manager though. Being able to install libraries globally would avoid this but I can how that can cause it's own set of issues. It doesn't seem efficient in terms of bandwidth and hard disk space to have a new copy of a library for each project that uses it?
You can download the package to your computer, for instance by cloning the repo, and add a symbolic link to your project's repo. Then you can compile with the -i option and forget about Dub. That's how I do it (though depending on the project, I might do a full copy of the dependencies into the project repo to guarantee they're always available).
