This is required for more complex packages that depend on each other. My proposal is to do the following format change:
{
"dependencies": {
"${import name 1}": "${package name 1}",
"${import name 2}": "${package name 2}"
}
}This allows package managers to create a correct DAG out of the packages and build a correct std.build.Pkg structure. Import name is the name that needs to get passed to @import(…), package name is the file name in the repository without the file extension.
Example:
{
"author": "truemedian",
"description": "A WebSocket 1.3 library for Zig",
"git": "https://github.com/truemedian/wz",
"root_file": "/src/main.zig",
"dependencies": {
"hzzp": "hzzp"
},
"tags": [
"networking"
]
}
