verify contributions, version control. Regarding latter I find it
quite telling that dub has recently banned usage of ~master as
dependency version and only allows explicit tags/releases - good
hygienic decision for growing ecosystem.
Sad if true, I want the capability to be on the bleeding edge. If the
possibility of specifying version exists then people who want hygiene
are covered. Removing the facility of ~master stops those of use who
like things to break using Dub at all.
Oh well back to SCons and manual working.
There are still a number of ways to stay on the bleeding edge, just
direct ~master/branch dependencies in dub.json are
discouraged/deprecated, because they have a destructive effect on the
package ecosystem. I'll write up a detailed rationale before the next
release, including suggestions how to handle situations where you want
to stay on a branch.
