Go only uses Git, Mercurial, or Bazaar for dependency handling. Rust (via Cargo) allows for a central repository, and Git (, and Mercurial ?) repositories. Dub appears only to allow for central repository, or have I missed it's ability to work with DVCS repositories?
If Dub cannot handle DVCS repositories, it needs to be able to. The rationale is that people can access dependencies that are available but not yet, or never will be, in the central repository. The use case that matters is working with a dependency that is not yet, but definitely will be in the central repository. Experience of Rust, and Herd with Ceylon, shows this to be very valuable to community activity. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
