Review: dart-pub-semver 2.2.1-1

Package Information

DescriptionVersions and version constraints implementing pub's versioning policy

This is very similar to vanilla semver, with a few corner cases.

This package ships the Dart sources so that other Dart packages can depend on it at build time.

Final Comment

Hi,

The shipped sources import package:collection/collection.dart:

lib/src/version.dart:7
lib/src/version_union.dart:5

Yet debian/control declares no Depends: at all on the binary package. The package's stated purpose is to "ship the Dart sources so that other Dart packages can depend on it at build time," but those sources won't compile for consumers without collection being provided.

This needs a Depends: dart-collection — otherwise the shipped code is incomplete for its intended use.

... or possibly it doesn't. I know that with debhelper 14 some classes of Depends are no longer needed, so perhaps this is one such? It would be good to know...

I guess it's also possible you know this perfectly well, but you have to do it this way as you pull this all together from the bootstraps :-)

Thanks!
