[dart-misc] Package Resolution Configuration file (.packages)?

[Rich Eakin]

Just saw that the WebStorm 11 EAP up'ed their dart support, including a
note saying "support for package resolution configuration file (.packages)
introduced in Dart SDK 1.12". Is there any more information on what this
.packages file is or does?

Thanks,
Rich

It's a new way of resolving 'package:xxx' imports. The DEP is here:
https://github.com/lrhn/dep-pkgspec/blob/master/DEP-pkgspec.md
It's mostly a tooling thing, so it should be a transparent change for most
Dart users.

It will be very visible in that in a couple of releases (1.13?), all of
those annoying "packages" directories no one ever liked will go away. :)

Those packages directories are already gone for me in webstorm 11. It seems
to do `pub get --no-package-symlinks` by default.

Oh, very cool - I like it. Yes it was becoming tedious having to
.gitignore all those package directories, happy there is a more robust
solution.

cheers,
Rich
