elm-github-install has a separate dependency-sources section which you can
use to override the dependency versions. The readme has the following
example
"dependencies": {
"gdotdesign/elm-install-test": "1.0.0 <= v < 2.0.0",
"elm-lang/core": "5.0.0 <= v < 6.0.0",
"elm-lang/svg": "2.0.0 <= v < 3.0.0",
"elm-lang/dom": "1.1.1 <= v < 2.0.0"
},
"dependency-sources": {
"elm-lang/core": "[email protected]:elm-lang/core",
"gdotdesign/elm-install-test": {
"url": "[email protected]:gdotdesign/elm-install-test",
"ref": "master"
}
}
So you would specify your file:///uri in the "url" property and whatever
git treeish value you want in "ref" (e.g. master). I'm not entirely sure
how it works in the case that you override a transitive dependency. It may
just ignore semantic versioning completely and use the version you've
specified in the git reference or perhaps it resolves the git ref then
pulls the version number in from it's elm-package.json. Because Elm uses a
flat dependency structure specifying the dependency explicitly will be
enough to constrain the transitive version as well.
