I couldn't find any documentation on how dub resolves
dependency conflicts. Here is my situation.
Package A has a dependency on package B-1.0.0 which has a
dependency on package C-1.0.0.
Package A declares a dependency on package C-1.0.1
How does dub behave in this situation. From what I see, it
always resolves C-1.0.0 and completely ignores the dependency
on C-1.0.1. Is there a way to force the usage of C-1.0.1, like
maven's exclude tags ?
NOTE: That description is not meant as an insult. Most people
here understand what a dependency conflict is. I am merely
trying to put my thought in writing.
You should get a dub selection file or something like that when
you build, which will be located in the root of your project.
You can control versions explicit in that.
That was it. Once I deleted dub.selections.json, it picked up
explicitly declared version. Still it would be nice to learn how
dub deals with dependency conflicts.
Thankyou.
