What you can do for private package as of today is:
- use path-based dependencies and put your packages in the
same repo
- use git submodules and path-based dub dependencies together
If it's a public package, you can register yourself on the DUB
repositery.
Regarding path-based dependencies, how can I use a C or
non-dub-backing project as a dependency? I defined in dub.json
like this:
"importPaths": ["non-dub-pkg"],
"dependencies": {
"non-dub-pkg": {"versions": "~master", "path": "./non-dub-pkg"}
}
And I got an error saying something like "dub could not find
dub.json or pakage.json in 'non-dub-pkg' directory". That's
true because it is a Makefile project.
But you need one! If this simply source imports just make it dub
package, if you need your sources and compiled library add
pre-build command to dub package, see this

@Eugene Wissner: I think a good official central registry is more
reliable for production use. I don't know that js has ten
registries. But if that is true, it is the lack of performance of
the first official registry maintainer. Have one, do well, and
recruit more talents. That will benefits people more than
scattering resources to reinvent the wheel. Nonetheless, I agree
that the support for ad-hoc dependencies is a good idea for
development.

Good thing is to encourage developers to submit packages to central dub registry. Bad thing is, when that does not happen soon enough, other developers who use the package will have to do something for themselves. To be honest there is no need for dub registry at all. Vim plugin managers can pull plugins from every github repository. Javascript ended up with 10 dependency managers every of which has its own registry (and npm as the most official of them). And the js case will happen to D aswell if it become more popular.
